Unknown warning on dash

amateurish · 04-20-2011, 05:46 AM

Hi, can anyone help. There is a small exclamation mark in a yellow triangle appearing on my dash in between the oil temp and speedo. I have no idea what this refers to and can't find reference to it in the manual or on the vehicle check system. Any ideas?

Nothing in the vehicle check status? Strange. Usually when it appears in mine its just the windshield wiper fluid is low

Deactivated passenger airbag?

It is part of your Check Control Warning system. Instances where this has come up for me is for low washer fuid, and when the gas tank gets real low. I suspect another example would be when any bulbs burn out. You are correct though in that the Manual really does not go into this too well.

If you use the Idrive and check the status it will tell you what the warning is for. I get it for low oil

I got it today after the low fuel warning light came on! Went away as soon as I filled up.
