Read your owner's manual.......

It's telling you that the compass is in calibration mode. You need to find a parking lot and drive the vehicle in a circle so it can re-establish magnetic north.

The procedure is in your Owner's Manual - the bigger question would be why did your compass suddenly decide it needed to be calibrated? Also, make sure you set it for the proper zone depending on where you live in the country.....
