So I am driving into work this am no cars around me doing 45mph EV. Suddenly I get a couple of tones and the bar in the picture blinks red. So I call the Dealership Service concerned I have a real issue. The answer I get honestly sounds like BS. They stuck me on hold for a while and report back its the Heads Up Display and I can just ignore it. HUD I didn't know we had those too...

 

Anyone else got a idea what it is?

 

Not sure the picture uploaded right but the bar is on the dash up near the VIN Sticker and Windshield but on the dash.

Sounds like it was the Collision Warning with Brake Support which you can learn all about here.  As there were no cars around you, maybe it was either a stationary object or a false reading.  I work for a trucking company and we have something similar in the big trucks which will often times give false warnings when you go under either an overpass or a large sign.

The radar sensor can get blocked sometimes it can happen.  Was it raining, snowing or just stuff blowing around on the road?  Just a leaf can cause it.  It's pretty rare.

 

ALso, sounds like you need to find somebody at your Dealer that can teach you about the technology on your car!
