    Ok so tonight I was driving along and notice my heads up display had a message above the speed limit. I couldnt read what exactly what it said other then check and I couldn't read the last word...?? Have never NEVER seen that before!!

    No other dash light are on... Did a google search and came up with pretty much nothing, and besides just asking people here seems to get better answers! :-)

    It probably said check gauges. I have seen my HUD say that with low fuel.

    In that case its just the sun. My clock on my radio went out a while back but if sunlight hits it I can read the time.

    Its just the check gauges light thinger. I wouldnt worry about it. Mine will say that when its in the on position but I didnt start the car or if it stalls (which doesnt happen much).
