    Try turning the car on and off three times. That should do it.

    Could be a low 12v, especially as your car is new. I wonder if you do lots of short runs and/or left the interior lights on.

    If this message was a glitch then it'll go away. If it starts to become a problem you'll see it more often but only really start to worry if you get a orange warning light come on, and if it goes red then you have a big problem.

    See if it goes away and not worry. If it does it again then get your dealer to check it out under warranty.

    Why did you have to unplug the battery (hybrid or 12V) to switch from MPH to KPH?
    If you unplugged the hybrid battery, maybe you didn't reset the safety plug properly.

    I disconnected my battery to install some stereo equipment, and I had the same warning, and I had to turn the car off and on three times before I could start it.

    Most likely, either you didn't reconnect the battery well, or the 12V battery needs to be charged, or possibly replaced. If you had it disconnected for a few days, it might just need a charge. Read this thread for more info:
