Question What's the Meaning of this Indicator?
Hey,

I would normally look this up on the ol' manual, but I don't have it on me and this light just turned on. Does anybody know what the indicator in the dash that looks like an exclaimation point with 2 parenthesis means? It kinda looks like this:

Tire pressure.. check the air in your tires.. YOu're probably right at 23psi or so.

That is the tire pressure monitor indicator. If you have your stock tires on with the TPMs then one of them is low on air.

That icon is a tire cross-section, in case you were wondering.

Not a very good rendition of a tire, either.

Check for a nail in the tire. Had the light on for a week with a nail in the tire. Tire must have sealed itself without tire pressure loss.
