2 malfunctions in the display... anyone can help?

i left the car in the garage for like 1.5 month and it has 8000 miles. i started the engine and there is message in the display "2 malfunctions", i clicked the arrow button and the malfunctions are:

- emissions inspection performed on time?
- main inspection performed on time?

yes, the messages have question mark in the end. it seems like asking questions. now everytime i insert the key and take the key out, there is always a beep and those messages show up again. i checked manual and nothing said about this. anybody can help here?

thanks a lot,

connect your keyboard to your car and reply "shut up ***** and drive"

My guess is take it to the service and let them check it!!!

If they're not in the manual, may be it's a virus.

Later it'll be a malfunction message from your wife (if you're married).....

Sorry for the joke..... just bored and tired

I believe your car is trying to tell you that it's overdue for a service. (More specifically, the exhaust emission test and normal maintence checkup.)

Let me know if you still have those malfunction problems.I had the same messages and took some time for the dealer to figure it out.

How do you erase the messages? Dealer fix only?
