Default Trip computer flashing 2:00H

On a trip this weekend driving straight for about 3:00 hours, I noticed at around 1:55h into the trip, the trip computer started flashing 2:00H in the lower panel. It stayed that way until I cycled <br>through the displays.<p>At first I thought it was a nice safety feature to remind you that you have been in the car for to long and should pull over and rest. But on the way back, I stopped at 1:45 into the trip, took care of business, and when I started the car and continued on, the display showed up again at 1:55. It stayed that way until I cylced through at 2:04.<p>Any suggestions as to why this happens.<p>just curious.

Default It's a reminder to pull over and rest every two hours (more)...

If the car is off for more than 10 minutes, it resets the two hour clock.<p>CraigB

Default Thanks, my bladder did a fine job of reminding me as well.

Did you even bother to read your owners manual after you got your car?

I've hit 4 and 6, but no higher without it resetting

LOL! Think it relates to driving for two hours?

Yes, I read it front and back, but you can't be expected to remember every nuance of every function
