either your tire is low on pressure or you don't have tps on your aftermarket rims.

that will light up for either

It just means your car will blow up in 54321......


Joking. Just means your tire pressure is off. I have after market rims with out the TPS on and the light only comes on after driving for about a hundred miles. Turns back off when i turn the car off though.

What I find funny is that the OP took the time to take pics, get on the internets, start a thread, then manually upload his pics (probably after resizing them)... and he couldn't spare the 13 seconds required to look it up in the manual.

Find out which tire needs air. Look in you manual to see how to rotate through the displays of your trip computer. It will show you which tire is low, but you usually have to be going over 16mph for it to give a reading on all tires.

maybe you picked up a screw too.....if you click the side button you could check your psi to see which one is low.

That is a butt-like sign. It has two meanings:

Whenever it comes up, you have to get out and moon the car.

The fuel prices are mooning you; that's why it is below the fuel gauge.

Quit screwing with the guy. That light really means the summer air in your tires is low and you need to switch over to winter air.

psi means pounds per square inch. it's referring to air pressure in the tire. which is low. so put more in. should be manageable.
