James, I believe this is the indicator lamp for the Automatic Stability Control plus Traction/Dynamic Stability Control. If the lamp stays on after the car starts, the system is deactivated. This means that the system is malfunctioning or has been deactivated with the button. The button is above and to the left of the left cup holder and should turn the light off (ie: activate the system). If it doesn't, you probably have a malfunction and should consult a Service Tech. Hope this helps. Phil

SOURCE: warning light on - yellow - exclamation mark

That's the traction control warning. it should only come on if you turn the system off, or when the system is actually "doing its think" when there is wheel slip. If it is on all the time, there is a fault in the system. In this case, you'll have to have the fault codes for the traction control & ABS system read.

hi, in my book it says, the (!_) with the exclamation mark in middle is..low tyre pressure, and the triangle on is the stability control and traction control..you should have a button on the centre consol to turn this on and off if it does not turn off you will have to take it to main dealer as there is a fault with it hope this helps

What does this trangle/Exclamation point warning light mean on my VW Atlas?

Could be that you turn off the stability control system by accident. Good luck.

I have a audi a4 2.4 2000 avant. a orange light came on . triangle with circle around it and this ! in the middle of it. please help

Yellow circle, with triangle and exclamation mark – The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) dashboard light flashes if the ESP or traction control is activated whilst driving. If ESP or traction control has been switched off, it will light up continuously. If ESP or traction control is not turned off and the warning light illuminates continuously, it indicates a problem and malfunction with either ESP or traction control.

What does a yellow exclamation point inside a triangle warning sign mean. Now check engine light just came on.

The yellow triangle with an exclamation mark will typically be accompanied by a message explaining what's gone wrong. Hopefully it will be self-explanatory - such as a low reservoir for the windscreen washer system.

thats your TPMS light, Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The light means that one of your tires is low on air, so check them all and fill them to the specified amount, which will be located on the drivers side door jamb.
