Default what does this dash message mean?

after i drive for like an hour i get this blinking on the dash. I cant tell if its all of the message or if im missing some due to the bad pixels. its the message that looks like it says 2:00. it will be counting down my miles then after an hour or so start blinking that.

Don't these cars blink a warning after you drive for 2 hours? Something like that.

it just lets you know that the car has been running for 2 hours straight. pretty much a "get out and take a leak" light. if you cycle through the message system it'll be gone.
