Warning light on volvo v40, red outlined triangle, green background and what looks smiliar to an upside down 'y' - what does this mean?

It is a lambda sign. It is the same thing as a check engine light. It means the car has registered and stored a diagnostic trouble code for some system. The codes will need to be read.

Warning light

Hey Mary!
Does the symbol look like an upside down y? If so it is the lambda sign (the elleventh character of the greek alphabet), meaning that there is something fishy going on with the emissions part of the cars engine management.
Try to disconnect the battery over night and see if it goes away. If not you could bring the car by the local Volvo garage and have them read fault codes and reset them for you, usually without cost.
I'm thinking that it might somehow have been triggered by the towing, and that it will go away when reset. I would therefore advice you not to do any repairs before you've tried having the codes cleared and driving around for a while to see if the light reappears.
Good luck!

I have a warning light that comes on and off on my 1999 Volvo S40. The light is like a "y" letter upside down in a green triangle on a orange back ground. Please help

I think that this is the Lamda warning light which is an indication that the fuel / air mixture is not correct or the Lamda sensor mounted on the manifold is defective.
