Notes:
[1] Standard Errors assume that the covariance matrix of the errors is correctly specified.
[2] The condition number is large, 1.16e+04. This might indicate that there are
strong multicollinearity or other numerical problems.

The result 0.04 is outside the range 1.5 and 2.5 and therefore autocorrelation can be problematic.
Please consider lags of the dependent or independent variable.
