Keep getting this symbol

Just picked up this 2024 Q5 and drove it about 400 miles home from the dealership. Multiple times I would get this red symbol in the dash cluster but can’t figure out why. I looked it up and it’s a distance error code, but I can’t figure out why I’m getting it. All the scenarios were different when I got it. Anyone?

Who can tell me what’s supposed to be here

Alright I got a new one. Just opened the back and discovered I didn’t get all the components that were originally in the vehicle when purchased new. I’m pretty sure I found online what was supposed to be here but a little help would be nice.

Need advice on capping the water pump vacuum line.

I’ve been chasing ghost on my 2017 SQ5 after replacing the waterpump, thermostat and pcv. The car is still randomly overheating, when it does I pull over shut it off and restart it, then it drives fine. I’ve bled the system, pressure checked it and it’s still randomly throwing P1B1C mechanical waterpump malfunction. After hours of reading and researching I’ve decided to simply unplug the vacuum line and cap it, my question is has anyone here done this before and did it cause any issues or did it work fine. TIA
