Default Dash icon/symbol help

I am 2500 miles into ownership of a 992s and love every second of it. Have a question I hope someone knows as I have looked high and far for the information.

I saw an icon/symbol in the display today that I had never seen. It was only on for about 30 seconds but under the gauges on the right side was one that showed the rear end of the car with a square on a vertical line (like a road sign).

Any idea what that could be? Normal back road with dry conditions going 45mph or so. Thanks for any input.

The warning and information messages are on page 255 of the owner's manual. You can download the PDF here.

Was this perhaps the symbol you saw? The only other ones I saw with the end of the car was for spoiler and lift system faults. Was it in a color, like yellow or red?

It could be that you were too near the car in front

Did it look like this? If so I’ve been told it just means the car can’t detect any road signs.

I do not recall seeing that symbol, but my car rarely detects road signs other than speed limit. In 1800 miles only seen the curve sign about three times.
