2006 16 diesel it will be the dpf light soot has built up in the exhaust and has put the warning light on.drive the car hard through the gears to warm the exhaust up and try to burn the soot out of the filter.If that fails and the car is between 60.000 miles and 100000 miles then the cat may need replacing.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT. CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE IF IT IS LOW ADD AIR THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE LIGHT T GO OFF. ALSO, CHECK YOUR OWNERS MANUAL FOR AN EXPLAINATION OF WARNING LIGHTS.

My dashboard light of a cog with exclamation mark in has come on what does it mean
This is NOT a Tyre pressure sensor warning!
Don't know why people post this when they haven't got the foggiest idea.
It is a fault associated with the drivetrain which includes from the injectors on the engine to the transmission and possibly just a sensor malfunction.
There are multiple errors possible with this fault.
Requires a diagnostic OBD2 port analysis of the ECU to clear the fault codes and further analysis.

A red light always means STOP or DO NOT DRIVE.
There are two possible reasons - the car is unsafe to drive, or further driving will cause damage to the car.
