My girlfriend just picked up a 2004 rx-8 today, however the car didn't come with an owners manual. An orange light which looks like an upside down horseshoe with an exclamation point on the inside is illuminated in the far left gauge cluster. Any help explaining what this means is appreciated and yes I searched. If anyone can link me to a place where a digital version of the owners manual is located that would be great. Thanks!

 

tires

 

Check your tire pressure. At least one of them is either low or high. Your tire sensors are working as they should

Have a great day, I know you will because you have an RX8

 

Or Maybe one or more of his TPMS(Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is not working/broken/Missing.

You live in the US right? If so. When your car is cold (let it sit for at least 2 hours).

First, make sure your wheels are stock. when I say stock, I mean the wheels THAT CAME originally with the car. Not *oh one of my wheels broke I bought another same wheel and put it back on but without TPMS installed*

Check your tire pressure and make sure its around 32 psi (I do 33, cuz I want to go fast .... alot)

AFter puming air, go out and drive for 10 minutes. usually the light will turn itself off once it reach about 15 mph. but give it 10 minutes or so.

IF it still stays. Check pressure again to see if theres any leaks. if not. Go back to the place where you get ur car and start bitching (cuz something is wrong)

Check your carfax report you might still have warranty. and whats ur Mileage on the car ?

 

Thanks for the replies, anyway the car only have 29000 miles on it and yes the wheels and everything are stock. The car was purchased from Carmax so I know everything is cool, still my girlfriend bought a warranty from carmax for 5 years or until 105000 miles!!! Ill check the tire pressures thanks again. ohh and yes I'm having a great day cause I got to drive it and it handles amazing. Shes got a while before the car gets as quick as mine though lol

Thank you!

 

It is a horseshoe, meaning "low ponies". It warns you that your car does not have the advertised horsepower. But I forget what the "low torque" indicator is.
