Default Help flashing broken Led screen!!

I was driving back home from school last week and my led screen started blinking the number 200 but the problem is its broken and thats all i can see out of it. There wasn't any physical problem, i checked oil levels before i left and it sounded fine and ran smooth. But as i continued to drive making a pull from 65mph to 90mph the panel started to light up and beep. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

was it one beep or two? the situation you're describing sounds like a speed warning but that flashes "(MPH)", not numbers.

it was one beep but it never does this at all...i usually push way pass 90mph. It continued to flash 200 and then went to 300 as the engine ran longer. But the oil gauges read 180degrees and the engine temp was normal

It's just an indicator telling you that you've been driving for 2:00.

Basically it tells you that you've been driving for 2 hours and it's due for a rest stop.

In the manual it says to pull over and shut your car off after 2 hours of driving.
