Anyone know what this sign is?
« on: November 29, 2012, 05:46:32 pm »
Tried loading photo cant do it. It's yellow with curvy sides and exclamation mark in middle of it with rough line underneath?

 I think it's to so with tyres but I'm away from home and ain't got access to the manual. Had two new fronts last week so should I take it back?

Yeah it is the tyre pressure warning

Check that all your tyre pressures are ok then hold the button down below your ashtray and it will reset

If it is really cold the pressures will drop with the temperature so could be nothing wrong



This is the tyre pressure warning light

If your tyres are at the correct pressure, reset it to tell the car they are at the correct pressure.

Tyre pressure drops and falls tepending on the temperature of the tyre an the air inside it.

The colder it is the lower the pressure will drop and vise versa. This is why tyre pressures shoud be taken when the tyres are cold.

If you get this light, just top up all your tyres and hold the button down after for 2-3 seconds, it'll beep and the pressure has been reset
