thats the tmps (tire monitoring pressure system). It means that one of the four tires have low air. recommendations would be to check the tire pressure on all 4 tires and if it is at a low pressure, fill it up with air and then take it somewhere to find if the tire has a nail or something stuck in it or has a hole that would cause air to leak.

I'm not trying to be a complete smartass but:
READ THE MANUAL THAT CAME WITH YOUR CAR.
It's not difficult to do. There is an entire section on what all those lights mean and in many cases what to do if one comes on.

This topic is well covered I think.. but i would like to mention that that light will come on if your tires are overinflated as well. I aired up my tires using a bad gauge one time, and after driving for a few mins that light came on.. I couldn't figure out what it was. It was too much pressure after the tires had warmed up.. go figure..

I was confused the first time I saw it myself as the picture could be confused with all sorts of traction related warnings. However, it only took me 2 min to look it up in the manual. Luckily, it was only the 30 degree drop in temperature and not a punctured tire. The warning is also self resetting when you get it fixed.

The manual fails to mention things like the parking break light coming on when low on break fluid or when break pads are worn -- had it said so, I would not have taken my car to the dealer (specially after checking that the break fluid was above minimal limit and break pads were good).. so yeah, read the manual, but be skeptical about it too.
