Lie "o" meter
Has anyone had "cal" show up under the mileage. Does this mean anything?

Thanks, Bryan

I think it has something to due with the compass. The owners manual has the directions in it on what to due, but I think it should clear itself in a few days.

Well, I did drive a few hundred miles today and the CAL went away. I guess ya'll were right again.

Thanks for the help.

Had to do that in my wife's Buick Rendezvous a few times. Makes you feel like an idiot just spinning in circles.
