Just started my car and as I drove off got a yellow icon taking up the whole instrument display saying "refill coolant". Couldn't dismiss it from the display, would reappear after a few seconds. Car was serviced 5000 miles ago so should be in good condition.
A few minutes down the road I reached red traffic signals, so I turned off the car while waiting, then turned it on again. Message did not repeat for the rest of the 8 mile journey home.
At home I checked the coolant level. My driveway slopes downwards slightly so coolant was not level in expansion tank but it was well between the low and high levels, slightly nearer high in fact.
Anyone seen this before? Hopefully just a glitch but maybe a sensor going bad?
