Car Problem. Car Experts, Please Help!

What does the Exclamation point with the circle around it mean? I just got my car. It's only been like 3 days, and I already have that warning symbol. What is that? Is it a low tire pressure warning or what? What may cause that? I just got my car. How is this even possible? What should I do? Can I get it fixed with no charge? Please answer my questions. I appreciate it.

It could be a tire pressure warning, or it could be a generalized warning indicator. In that case you'll need to have the car checked out by a mechanic so they can determine what's wrong.Dark__Link

When I get a exclamation point with a circle (actually might be a triangle) around it on my car, it means that I am too hard on the throttle and my car's tires have limited or no traction at the moment. Yours might be the same but your warning lights and what they mean should be outlined in the manual.

Edit: What kind of car is it?

I tend to do that a lot especially when there is a turn involved too. Haha. Unless he turned the traction control off, then the light would be on all of the time.

Edit: Damn I have a lot of typos that need fixing tonight.

Low tire pressure.

Also you can check your tire pressure yourself real quick check the spare to. If they are all good your sensor is messed up. At 3 days they should fix it no charge at the dealership.

O I forgot to mention you can usually reset the sensor yourself just a simple button look through owners manual to locate it.

It needs more cowbell

Not true my friend. There is a warning light for low tire pressure and it looks something like this:

Check your tires, and yes, there is also a circular light for the handbrake as well, so make sure it isn't on.

I could swear thread title said cat experts. On topic... don't you have a manual

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"] 100% wrong. newer cars are all being built with this warning light on the dash. if you dont know just say you dont know but dont make yourself look foolish by trying to base a fact on something you obviously know little to nothing about...Dark__Link
