I was driving happily along with my one-week-old Touring when I got a notification on the head unit that my tire pressure was low. Weird for week old tires... I pull down the notification bar, and I apparently have six messages from the car telling me 6 system failures!
Pictured below: Tire pressure low, ABS system problem, brake system problem, TPMS system problem, ACC problem, CMBS problem
Yet the dash indicators didn't come on as you can see in the last picture. I knew that there wasn't a problem, car didn't seem to drive any differently and the brakes were still very tight. But I drove to the dealer anyways.
I had to make a stop and turned the car off. When I turned it on, I noticed that the lights for what were being warned about on the head unit took a few seconds longer to go away than the rest during the startup sequence. Then on the short trip to the dealer, the notifications disappeared.
I showed them the pictures, they offered to test the systems out but said it would be about an hour (and I thought probably more). I had them check the tire pressure which was good. I already had a service appointment for Tuesday, so since the tire pressure notification was false and there were no driving symptoms it seemed everything was likely alright.
Still going to have them check all the alerted systems on Tuesday. I highly doubt they'll find something though.
The warning notification screen is pretty impressive! The way it shows you the problem with a decent description, and with one tap you can call your dealer or roadside assistance. I wonder if calling roadside assistance will send them your location automatically on models with Navi? If you're moving and you pull up the notification, it won't let you read the text and will speak it to you instead.
