After a couple of hours of non-stop driving, or if the driving gets shaky or weaving, it lights up and gives me an alarm..

The one between the temp and the time tells me that the anti-collision is switched on.

It's like a fit-bit for the car.

Coffee cup is for "Attention Assist" and will monitor for and alert if it detects drowsy driving

Strange you asked that because I accidentally turned this on my screen in my Mercedes messing with the settings and I have no idea what it is! And don’t know what to do to turn it off ha

Maybe it is reminding you how much coffee you have consumed and it's time to stop and relieve yourself.

I remember a 400km holiday drive to Mildura in South Oz with the kids a few years ago Larry.

A credit to the Subaru IMO.

We need to know if you left the stickers on or not before we can answer this, OP. Or maybe if you at least put some Saran Wrap around the clasp....

When I was in the desert I almost exclusively drove motorcycle as it wouldn't reach an interior temperature of 200 degree when parked outside. And yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus...I mean it's safe to wear your Rolex. FWIW, here in New England we're heading towards mid 90s with humidity so thick you can cut it with a butter knife. I'll take a cool mid 90 evening in the desert any day!!!
