While driving on freeway, received a quick temp icon (popped up too quick to see what it said), but i looked at temp and saw the needle was close to the h (hot). After stopping at a gas station and checking the water/coolant level saw it was almost empty. Added coolant. Took it to the dealer the next day and after troubleshooting they found it was the left head gasket was leaking coolant and they had to replace it.
