I'm not sure about Hyundai but on GM vehicles, you drive around in circles and it resets itself. Seriously.

Your owner's manual should tell you. Then again, it could be simply broken.

Push and hold the far left button on the compass until it begins to flash on the display. Then drive in a circle until it stops flashing that should calibrate the compass. If not it will be covered under the factory warranty if the car has less than 60,000 miles.
Good luck
