ADJUST FOR COMPASS VARIANCE1. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
2. Press the "H" switch and the "M" switch simultaneously
3. Release the "H" switch and the "M" switch simultaneously within 10 seconds. This will switch the multi-center display to the compass setting mode, and "COMPASS" and "-- --" will flash.
