Could mean anything from your windshield washer fluid is low to a bulb is out on the car..im pretty sure its just a warning light, u have to start up the power in the car (ACC) but not actually turning the engine..then use the button on the end of the blinker wand to access the "check control" this should tell you whats up

SOURCE: warning light displating on dash. no handbook wot

Hi,
This is an indication of something having to do with your brakes. You need to check your brake pads incase they are worn out. If nothing wrong with it, then your car is likely getting too old....an you need to start ignoring some of those unnecessary warning lights....it happens when bmws exceed their "road life".

Cheers & BW

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.

The exclamation point in the circle is the Drive Stability Control. comes on whenever the tires are slipping, or if there is a problem with the system. brakes and/or fluids have their own lights.

A red light on the dash board

The warning lights should be listed in your owners manual. It could be a warning for one of the gauges, or engine/transmission problems.
They are more common on Toyota Prius.

Yellow triangle with ! in the middle popped up on dashboard what does that mean

It's the ESP warning light, You may have a ESP button on the dash which you can push to reset it, Otherwise try having the car idling in neutral and turn the steering wheel fully left then right the back to middle, This should reset the light, if it comes back you will need to get the car plugged into a diagnostic scanner to find the issue.

Unknown meaning of warning light on dash board lower right looks like a triangle with a three pronged image in it stays on after ignition.

You don't have the owner's handbook do you? I believe that's the icon for an engine management fault. Its function is explained in the manual.

Triangle with car and skid marks behind car and a triangle with wrench both dash board warning lights

{: ) These triangles you saw is for the Stabilitrak (traction control) indicators. Normally these lights should be off after the engine has started, unless you disable it by pressing the stabilitrak button. Sometimes it lights up automatically when driving under certain road conditions, and will turn off later when normal conditions resume. A wrench beside the triangle indicates a fault is detected on thge traction system and it requires servicing.
What you can try, stop the vehicle, turn ignition off for a few seconds to reset the system, and then restart the vehicle. If the lights wont go off, then tghe vehicle really needed to be checked right away.

The red triangle warning light just came on. What does it mean?

All it means is 5000 miles have passed since the oil change reminder was reset. You can reset it your self. Look in the Camry Hyrbid Owners Manual on Page 148 for the Resetting the engine oil maintenance data procedure. Make sure you have the A trip odometer showing when you follow along.

Hi A J Mae,
Do you mean the traffic indicators,( turn signals) or do you mean the dash board indicator lamps? If it's the dash warning lamp indicators, they work on a fail safe system, when you turn the ignition on before the start position, all the lights will come on untill start up and ten they will go off automatically within a second or two....if they stay on with the engine runnig you have a problem we have not covered here.
That will be your hazard warning switch, the one that will be flashing on the dash with a triangle showing on it....If that doesn't do it it'll be something to do with the anti theft device...get out of the car lock all the doors and then press the button on the key fob
