"Cal" in information center?

[MyPrixGT06]

Today while driving home I looked at my information center and the left side said "cal". What does that mean? It was on the bottom left, I think the compass was there, maybe calculate or calibrate? What do I need to do?

Calibrate the compass...while in park press the "i" to go into the programming mode and find the compass calibration setting. Then u gotta drive in a circle until it sets itself.

And prolly puke in the process from the dizzyness. So, don't eat Taco Bell before hand.

LOL right...please dont eat Taco Bell...unless you want to clean half digested Chulupa shells and lettuce from your dash...

according to your profile it says your in Ca. Southern Ca is in zone 5 and most of Ca is in zone 4. It's on page 3-66 in your owners manual.

Sweet, thanks. Couldn't find it in the owners manual 3-66 talks about the dash lights and whatnot, appreciate your help!!

Hey guys. Thought it might be better to post a question here rather than start a new thread. I've got an '04 GTP showing CAL and can't calibrate the damned thing. When I get to the DIC screen where you select your region, it just shows -- in the box and the reset button does nothing to change it. I can proceed to the "drive your car in circles" part but after 4 to the right and 3 to the left I gave up on account of the nausea. I don't know if this thing can even calibrate anymore, much less pick a region. I've got an aftermarket deck, so I swapped in the stock deck on a hunch to see if it made a difference to the DIC - no change. Any ideas?
