I had a rather confusing situation today. I had parked my car at church and when i returned I thought I would unlock it holding the button on the fob to open all the windows and sunroof. I took a few tries and I thought this was due to me being a little out of range.
Eventually it all worked: car unlocked, windows opened, sunroof opened and I got in.
I was very surprised to notice that there was an icon of a clock on the dash where the time is usually displayed. Looking further I noted that the time was a bunch of dashes and the trip odometer had been zeroed.
Has anyone else had this happen to them??

That happens to me when the battery level gets a bit low. Nothing to worry about as long as you drive it for a while and charge it up.

Are you referring to the fob battery or the car battery?
