The VAR limits should remain what you specified in the data file. If turning the check on did not make any changes to bus-types, then the VAR limits are not being violated. It is possible that the max VAR limit you set is too high and the min VAR limit too low. Also, during CPF MATPower does not check for VAR limits even if you turn this option to 1 or 2.
Hope this helps.
