No that's the autopilot warning, he's becoming deflated and will soon need your attention. Please. please don't let him deflate completely, I'd worry oh so much about your safety if you did. OMG I can't imagine you flying around without him there to protect you...

i believe it comes on because when u press your unlock button or your lock button it flashes the park lights, but the odometer sees this as you leaving your lights on, but because it only last a second it only says head. just my thought.

Now that I think about it some, I think that on my '01 when I leave the headlights on, turn the key off and remove it and maybe after opening the door, I get both a warning tone and the odometer flashing "head lights" as two separate words. My PT is down waiting on getting a new alternator or I'd take a look at lunch time.
