    Yellow Circle with an Exclamation Mark?

    Came on a couple of days ago. I know I should have looked at the manual, but it is buried in a box somewhere:-( What is it and how serious?

    2006, Option 9, about 8000 miles, service done at 5500 miles.

    Thanks!

    What's around the circle?

    Does it look like this?

    Not to pick on you, but you have an error message on your car. Might want to dig out the manual.

    Also, just out of curiosity, what the heck is on Pkg 9? 2006 models only had pkgs 1-8.

    Could it possibly be a cross section of a tire and not a circle? If that is the case, one or more of your tires are low on air.

    Yep, it like a yellow exclamation mark in single parenthesis, with an underline at the bottom.

    As to the manual, I am still in my office, away from the box, and my wife is driving the car.... No weird behaviour, no buzzers or chimes. If it means anything, I installed a second microphone a few days ago, but I can't imagine it would cause the light to come on:-(

    Oh, yes, it's Package 8. What do I know....:)

    Is that the (!) with an underline connecting the two parenthesis (hey, that's how my wife is describing it)? It'd be nice if that's all it means:)

    It is if the underline is not smooth, but resembles the cross section of tire threads.

    one of your tires is low. check tire pressures.

    Thanks! Just got home, looked at the warning light, it is the tire pressure sensor:)

    Now I feel a little stupid, but much relieved....

    Thanks again!
