Earthdog Posted March 25, 2013 at 12:50 PM Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 at 12:50 PM 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. https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4t1t87brbyqf60/2013-03-25%2008.25.02.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rJxoAOXrSc Edited March 25, 2013 at 01:57 PM by jposs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jberger Posted March 26, 2013 at 03:00 AM Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 at 03:00 AM (edited) 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!

Regman Posted June 12, 2013 at 03:12 PM Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 at 03:12 PM Mine came on once and because a car was partially in my lane trying to parallel park. Worked perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a way to make you jump out of your seat, or soil it, or both.... that's what happened to us the first time it went off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
