    Its the Vehicle Anomaly Report by pressing it tells the dealer you have been playing with things you shouldn't and now a full diagnostic check must be performed for a Variance Analysis Report that will lower the trade in value known as the Value At Risk program.

    It could be the variation of the temp sensor of what it is reading and what it shows to correct for heat from the engine on the sensor.

    VAR is the deviation of magnetic north and true north and is relative to your position on the planet. RTFM it will tell you the number, I'm sitting on the shitter and don't want to go outside to find it for you

    Topo maps and nautical charts have a compass rose that shows the local magnetic variation.

    James Bond had one installed in the passenger seat to get rid of evil.
    Toyota Installed the Vehicle Ass Rejector that automatically activates at 2am to protect the driver from waking up in the morning and going oh my god what have i done.
