What’s the yellow car symbol below the tach mean?

I tried reading through the manual (electronic version because I left my printed manual at the office) and couldn’t find anything. I’m at 357 miles, so my only guess is that it’s an indication for upcoming 1200 mile break-in service?

Yellow car symbol below on “8” on the tach...

Yes, its a reminder that you will be needing the running in service. As above, look in your notifications, and it will tell you exactly this.
