CAL stands for calibration and means that your compass needs re-calibrated. There are detailed instructions in the owners manual on how to do this. Hopefully if you simply re-calibrate it the problem will clear. If not you can also clear the memory by removing the negative post of the battery and cycling the ingition a few times but you will also lose all memory setting. Below are the manuals instructions for re-calibration.
10. The compass is now calibrated.
Hope this helps..
