This is to set the Compass to to correct Zone on the planet in respect of the variation between True North and Magnetic North......Australia spreads over 3 different Magnetic Variation Zones..... so you you need to set it correctly in order to get meaningful read outs.
Your Owner's Handbook gives the different areas on a map of the world and the method of setting it.......I believe there's also an alternative, automatic selection method consisting of driving a series of Figure-Eights a certain number of times both clockwise and then anti-clockwise -this is also described in the Owner's Handbook.
