No pictures sorry. Couldn't replicate the message. Literally just came out of the dealership after second oil change parked on the side of the road and pop the hood release to see if all is fine. As I release the latch a message on the dash says to be cautious or careful engine compartment is hot. WTF is that??? And yes they did road test the car after the oil change. Is it normal to get that after and oil change and tech road testing it. I saw the guy pull out the lot. Tops 3 to 4 minutes he was back. Did not include this in my previous post b/c I just remembered after reading through some threads.

I believe this message occurs when you pop the hood after the engine has warmed up. Make sure the hood has been closed properly.

This message does not signify an issue with your vehicle. You should be fine.

Hot engine, you might get hurt if you touch anything. Opening the hood means maybe you wanna touch something..

Nothing wrong with car, the car is just telling you to be careful when opening the hood since most of the components under the hood are hot.
