OBC countdown issue?

I usually leave my OBC on outside temp setting. on several occasions, I've noticed my OBC will start showing the following numbers:

800-750-700-650-600-550 -> all the way down to 0, then it will go back to the current outside temp setting.

if I press the BC stalk button, and toggle through MPG, average speed, and time, that weird number countdown becomes a choice i can toggle through.


I've mention this the last time I brought my car to the dealership, but they were not able to find anything wrong.

Has anyone seen this or may know what the issue may be?

Thanks

I have never heard of or seen that issue, I was thinking it was the miles till service but it only shows up one number when you start your car. That is weird.

Do you have Nav? My OBC does a countdown when I'm getting close to a turn when the Nav is directing me.

It is the NAV. It is telling you how many feet you have before you need to turn or whatever.

Very cool! I had no idea the oem navi did that, a nice feature indeed. Too bad I don't have one.
