Yellow Exclamation Sign?
Hi guys,
Sorry, I dont have my manual with me, so cant look it up. But I noticed that theres this yellow/orange exclamation sign thats always on when the car is running?
Anyone know what that means?
Thanx and soz if its a stupid question.

It depends...
If it has the symbol around it that looks like the cross-section of a tire, then your pressure monitoring system is seeing a problem
If it has a symbol around it that look like drum brakes (go figure) then your brake fluid level is low
If it has a symbol around the ! that looks like a steering wheel, than you have a power steering malfunction.
Or, of course, everything is working normally & the sensor is acting up.
Sounds like we have our first documented problem here !

Yup, same thing here. The Tire Pressure warning light and buzzer came on today after half an hour at highway speeds. After the tires cooled, I measured the pressure at 45 psi each! Brought them back down to the spec'ed 32, drove the car a bit, and the light finally went out.

The tire pressure light was on when I left the dealer today -- they didn't seem too concerned. Just checked the pressure--over 50. Couldn't believe it. Thank God I'm trying to show some respect for the car during break in and not testing it's roadholding limits! First thing in the a.m. I'm dropping the p.s.i. to 32. Thanks for the info.
