There is a problem with the auto-leveling function of one of your headlights, or the control module (or its wiring). Since this has safety implications, you can't reset it yourself. You will need to have your dealer resolve the problem.

I hadn't realized how inane the speedo was. It's one thing to take it to 180mph, it's another to put 180 at 3 o'clock Couldn't they at least put it at 5 o'clock, or even 4:30?

At least he is only doing about 60MPH while taking a picture.

I've had this show up after hitting pothole I couldn't avoid. It went away after a few restarts. Taking it to the dealer as mentioned is the best bet if it doesn't rectify itself...

Good luck,
