Default Strange message

2016 V70 SE , When I start the engine I get a message about booking time for a service and a new message which is the outline of a car with arrows in front either side pointing outwards , I can't find out what this means. Ignition off ,there's only the message about service being due, ignition on and I get this new second image. All lights work, I haven't got front parking sensors. I have got those 130% brighter headlamp bulbs but the wattage is the same. Any ideas?
Thanks

I bet when you go back to OEM headlights your warning message goes away. The new computers message voltage to detect if the bulbs are out and my guess is the non-standard bulbs are enough to trip its warning code.

Looks like I can ignore the message? The uprated bulbs and a bit of adjustment to the beam pattern have improved night driving greatly.
Thanks for your help
