If CAL should ever appear in the DIC display, the compass should be calibrated.

If the DIC display does not show a heading, for example, N for North, or the heading does not change after making turns, there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass.

Turn off the vehicle, move the magnetic item, then turn on the vehicle and calibrate the compass.
