I imagine it means that you engine is hot, and your airconditioning is off. When your car is running, try hitting the info button to see if anything else comes up.

That looks like a failsafe mechanism that will shut of the A/C compressor to reduce load on the engine when it's overheating. What is your coolant temperature when this comes on? Could be a bad sensor if it's not hot. Is it still under warranty?

bus communication problem i think but get a temp sensor and put it in......it sits so close to the manifold and since the car is turboed it might have gotten it to hot.........you could have told me you bought this car!!! ill find out what issue it was having when they built it if you want....they had some electrical issue but they found the problem....and i think it was a ground loose....probably the same thing again....
