How to Turn Off the Calibration Display on the Car Screen?

Simply follow the numerical order to tap the points on the screen to complete the calibration. After calibration, the vehicle will return to the interface, and all functions can be used normally. If calibration is required every time the vehicle starts up, you can try restoring the factory settings.
Don't panic if the infotainment screen suddenly pops up a calibration interface—it's likely you accidentally pressed some engineering mode button. Last time while driving with navigation on, my hand slipped and touched the three dots in the lower right corner, instantly turning the screen into a test grid. I quickly tried holding the power button on the center console for 10 seconds, and after the screen went completely black and rebooted, it finally returned to normal. If this trick doesn’t work, simply turn off the engine, exit the car, lock the doors, and take a smoke break to let the system fully power down before restarting. Many newer cars now have hidden shortcut key combinations on the steering wheel—like holding the volume and menu buttons together for three seconds—which can also force-exit calibration. It's best not to randomly poke function buttons at the edges of the screen, especially while driving, to avoid distractions.
I've repaired many similar cases where the calibration interface is usually triggered by the vehicle's self-protection program. First, check if there's a prompt on the screen like 'Click to Exit' or 'Skip Calibration'—sometimes tapping the crosshair center five times can complete the process and exit. But most likely, the system is being interfered with. My go-to method is disconnecting the negative battery terminal for two minutes and reconnecting it, which works especially well for older models. If you're driving an American car, try holding down both the steering wheel phone button and voice command button simultaneously. For German cars, long-press the center console knob for five seconds. Important reminder for owners: avoid spraying high-pressure water directly at the screen during car washes, as it can easily trigger sensor abnormalities.
