Mystery Dash Warning - Anyone Know

Periodically a symbol will pop up on the speedometer message area, bottom left.

It's a 3/4 circle or open circle arrow head with the letters mph on the inside.

it pops on and the off once in a while. I have look to no avail....

No, I do not have the speed limit warning box checked, it is unchecked.

thanks in advance.

Were you in green mode? I was on the highway today, going 75-80mph, flipped to green mode and that same symbol showed up, I could only assume it was telling me to slow down to conserve fuel. Flipped back to mid mode, symbol gone.

This curved arrow with mph is a green mode symbol that is telling you to reduce speed to selected green mode speed.

Anything with air bag and go to dealer, even if out of warranty cause I believe the AB has a separate and longer warranty.

the other maybe a speed wearing above your speed settings.

i believe the explination point symbol comes on when "any" problem is detected, so in this case the air bag issue.

You can usually find more information in the menu under "Check Control".

MENU->Vehicle Info->Vehicle Status->Check Control.

If you are in GREEN mode, there is a separate speed warning that will show up if you hit a certain speed (I think the default is around 70) You can disable this in SETTINGS-->DRIVING MODE-->CONFIGURE GREEN-->Uncheck the speed warning

If you're not in green, usually this symbol shows up when you have cruise control on, but it doesn't sound like that's the case here

Which airbag symbol is on? Is it on the dash? Do you get any other warning messages that accompany it? Is the airbag symbol yellow or red?

Usually the triangle with an exclamation mark is a general check control message and can mean anything, though I can't think of a symbol with a circle around the triangle. Check control messages can be accessed from your radio; from the main menu, go to VEHICLE INFO, then VEHICLE STATUS, then CHECK CONTROL. You should see a list of open warnings.

Post pictures if you can
