Need help with warning symbol

Anyone know what the triangle with the ! in the odometer means? FWIW I have an 08 Mini Cooper S.

Click the stalk button until you get to the Check-Info option then long-press. Cycle through to the Check option and long-press. That will bring the warning up on the tach screen.

Nope, just the small triangle. Seems most of the stuff in the owners manual shows all the big symbols and they are usually in yellow.

Could be that it is below 37F. I know that at that temp, the car "bongs" at me and shows that little symbol in the tach. IIRC last winter it stayed there but I didn't always get the "bong" when I started the car.

The temperature warning should go away when the little snowflake goes away.

If your washer fluid is low, you'll get the triangle. Same with low fuel. Perihelion has it right--check the stalk and see what it tells you.
