I think he refers to the Autopilot Disconnect, Mark. You are using the Disco Bar there, so that triggers the message.
But you are darn fast, so it wasn't up for long. :D
I think the brake temp display implementation is a bit confusing. Without having the tech docs there, I'd say that on braking, the temps (from the energy being converted into heat) go 'into the brakes' and later reach the sensors.
This means that, on landing ,you will mainly see zero impact on that display but on taxi to the gate and after e. g. parking there for 10 minutes, the heat will have built up and also reach the sensors then.
So, at the parking after 10 to 15 minutes, the temp display should give you the highest readings with a slow decrease through brake fans and stuff later.
Maybe they can tune this in 4.5 since your temps got up on the actual brake activation and got down as the auto-brake released the pressure.
I think that this doesn't reflect the rw brake temp monitor's behaviour as the readings are instantaneous right now and also fade away right after braking.
I always brake with the grass strip behind the runway.
It's all about brake wear, buddy.
