Wife just sent me a pic and said this light showed up. (Bottom screen, left side of readout) I'm guessing its cruise control or her average mpg readout.

Can someone verify? Thanks

Not the yellow. The red on the bottom screen.

We've got aftermarket wheels/tires... Tire pressure light is always on

I give up. I'm sure it's something simple and something easily figured out if I had the car in front of me. She's texting the **** out of me trying to figure it out.


Anyone?

It's an average MPH readout.

You have several things lit up in dark orange, and some of them would normally be where the low tire pressure warning light is coming on in the tach.

The little triangle in between the total mileage and the trip mileage indicator is telling you that something is wrong with one of your sensors / something came up in the tach as a warning. In this case, it's a low tire pressure warning (no TPMS in your case).

The little circle that looks like a clock, but more like a speedometer is just that - an indication of speed. I can't remember off the top of my head if that's the average speed or the current speed, but I would know if I was in my car. That information would normally be where the warning light is in the square box on the tach, but has moved down to show the warning in a larger way.

Hope that helps.

yep

that's the icon that comes up to identify average vs instant speed or MPG (as best I recall)

she toggled the computer's button on the end of the left stalk . . .

Just buy this purse in the ad below and everything will be OK!!!

Average speed and the general '!' icon means you have several warning that are showing up during startup. Tire pressure is one of them but you may have more.

RELAX!!!
