Question display screen warning light?

on my way home tonight something popped up on the display.
it flashed green adn looks like a headlight (like the "Dynamic headlight range control faulty" without the up and down arrows) with an arrow coming out of the back and curving over and to the left...
i couldnt find it in the manual...does anyone know what this is?
either way im calling the dealer in the morning if i see it again......


on a side note.... how have you guys been? i havent been on in a while...

Hmm, doesn't sound familiar. Any strange behavior from the lights?

Default Adaptive Lighting system...

I think this indicates an issue with the adaptive lighting system (swivels Xenon headlights in sync with steering wheel position). Have a dealer check it out.

Default headlight warning

Its the dynamic headlight range control or something along those lines. I just had it fixed under my warranty--had to draw a pic for the dealer before they knew what I was talking about. It's one of numerous problems I have had with my headlights...
