Default Info Display on Start-up??

Greetings, newbie here w/2014 is350 F-sport. I've noticed that when starting the car, an information window slides ever so slightly and briefly from the speedo / tach to the right, and then disappears. It happens so quickly I can't ever see what it's displaying, but I can tell it's green in color. Anyone know what this is and what it says? Thanks.

I think you are referring to the hint that pressing the button on the right hand side of steering wheel with what looks like sheets of paper on top of each other, moves the speedo dial to the right.

This.

Most of the information that is presented when you first start the car isn't absolutely vital to running the car anyway. But it's good to make sure and have all your bases covered anyway. Enjoy your car!

You can turn this off in the settings as well. Pop up hints I think it is called.

It's essentially a brief Systems Check
