Negative Miles on startup?

Eugeinus · 10-18-2012, 01:47 PM

I recently noticed that I'm getting a negative miles readout on startup. I've never noticed this before, so wanted to see if anyone had any insight as to what's up.

After about 2 seconds, everything is back to normal, no error symbols or anything. The picture says -150, but it's also been -110 and -140, just seems random on startup.

Any insight would be helpful.

This is a joke right

I think you need some service... Well you're already past your term...

way past service indicator

Delusive · 10-18-2012, 02:02 PM

Turn your car on, go up or down on the turn signal thingy button and go to service info to see which service needs to be done.

Get to know your car better if you plan on keeping it bro.

Your flux capacitor is working properly. Now just drive in reverse past 90mph and you'll be back with marty mcfly in no time.

ragingclue · 10-18-2012, 02:10 PM

It's telling you how long ago you were supposed to be properly taking care of the car.

Doctor///M · 10-18-2012, 02:33 PM

I would think the (very big) "SERVICE" graphic would put that negative value in context..?

Eugeinus · 10-18-2012, 02:42 PM

Still have 250 miles until service is due, but the car likes to let me know. I'm seeing if anyone knows if that miles graphic is unrelated to needing upcoming service.

for the sake of your pride, i hope you're joking around
that service indicator counts down and once you pass the service, it becomes negative. you'll notice that the service symbol and the mileage disappear at the same exact time; it's because they're the same thing.

Honest mistake - appreciate the responses.

You've been driving in reverse quite a bit.

Dude, save yourself some embarrassment next time and just read the F'n manual. The manual explains the service notification system.

Simple.

Turb0Surge · 10-19-2012, 10:41 AM

Heh heh heh.

blue335xi · 10-19-2012, 10:50 AM
