It's the tire pressure sensor warning light. It says in the owner's manual.

If you have taken off your TPS then you get this light on long drives, it doesn't mean anything.

If you have not taken off your TPS then you probably have low pressure

I think if the weather is cold the light is more likely to come on, but I could be wrong.

just to piggy back on this subject, my Z has that same signal too and when i checked the tire pressure all of em are 38 except for the rear top number which is 27. Do you guys know why the tire pressure is so low but kicking the tires and just by looking at it, there are no differences on the 4 tires. Could this just be a problem with my tire monitor?

Kicking the tires and looking at them is not going to tell you that there is a pressure difference. You need to get a good quality tire pressure gauge and use that to check and set the tire pressure.

BTW, the tire pressure warning goes off at 28 psi or lower.
