    This morning I got a yellow warning light flash for a few seconds and then turn solid after driving on the highway for a few minutes. It looks this: (_!_). It is located on the right of the dash display.

    I just changed my oil and put on winter tires myself two days ago. I hope it isn't related to my maintenance.

    I then looked up the symbol in my owner's manual. It looks like a tire pressure warning signal and can be related to my winter tires. The thing is, I own a Canadian Prius. It shouldn't have a TPMS. Or did I interpret the light wrong?

    Yeah they do have Tire Pressure Monitor System. OP, check your pressures, lol.

    Hang on, hang on, just put on your winter tires? Maybe they DONT have the TPMS? Then that's why your light's on; just ignore it. ;)

    Did you use separate wheels for your winter tires?
