Odd Warning symbol question

Blubaron79 · 12-22-2018, 07:48 PM

Girl I'm dating has a new X3 (G01). She says her HUD will flash a symbol on occasion that looks like a squished car or elongated 'bat mobile'. Her other description was a 'plane taking off from an aircraft carrier'.

I told her it's probably the lane departure warning symbol. She says it's not.

I know this is the weirdest question to ask, but I cannot figure it out for her as I've never seen the symbol. Ha

Well, has she RTFM? (Stupid Question, I know).

They are all in the paper, online and iDrive Versions.

As it’s in HUD and NOT on Dash from your description in OP, I would think it’s Navigation.

That's what I told her too. Sometimes my nav errors after I get to my location and just shows an arrow.

Is it supposed to be difficult or impossible?

I see pix of HUD in AutoTrader listings all the time. How do they do it?
