  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I have a 2014 R Spec. Today as I was getting onto an off ramp, a red warning emblem showed up on my center display screen (the small one between the tach and speedometer) but I was unable to grab my glasses and determine what it was before it turned off. The location was in the upper left center of the screen. Would it be possible to hook up a diagnostic tool to the computer to see what this indicated? Thanks for any assistance.
 
It's probably the notorious "CAUTION" symbol. I assume you heard a beep along with it?

It happens when there is a sudden reduction in the radar distance between you and whatever is in front of you. It's pretty useless IMO. I find it goes off when someone in front of me is signaling to turn right and I cut it a little close behind him before he turns.

I have had it happened too ...an orange 'Caution' with lined out circle. It seems to happen even on straight roads when an oncoming car is too close to yellow line. It is kind of disturbing.

yes, there was a beep with it. It has not happened since. Thanks for the response. Looks like nothing serious.

Here's the bad news 88. It sounds like you need to buy a pair of bifocals.
 
Thanks PMCErnie
I think you pegged the problem dead on :-)

I personally dont care for that icon popping up. I have seen it in closing situations where someone ahead of me is turning. I have found myself distracted by the flashing symbol and beep. It wasn't really due to surprise, but because i wanted to know what the alarm was for. When I looked up, I was MUCH closer to the guy turning in front.
If there is someone turning in front of me, and I hear the beep, I just ignore it.
There has to be record of someone crunching a car because of this "feature"
I am a very careful driver and have been distracted by it.
