Light on Dash going off...

Okay, I don't have a clue what this light going off means, but it's the one on the left with the exclamation point inside of it above the seatbelt flasher (pic here) - what the heck does that mean, and what do i need to do to resolve this? I've also noticed that the alarm has gone off three times without provocation, and that three times the gas meter was off (it was full, but the last bar was not indicating it was full)

If it's the one I think you mean, it's your tire pressure sensor alarm. Check your pressures, fill as needed and then reset it by holding down the button with the same symbol in the button bank under the radio.

Combination Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Malfunction Telltale alert, referring to page 239 of the Owner's Manual.
Hope it helps!

lol, EVEN BETTER! i can definitely do that, i don't think i have an air tire pressure thing but i'll figure it out.

It's funny, because i'm technically inclined and generally know my stuff, but when it comes to cars i am a bumbling mess! lol

I thought bumbling was reserved for yellow smarts with black tridons.

I just use the indicator on the smart 12v pump that came with the car - I figure if the light is on (it's happened to me twice) I'll need to use the pump anyway. - sheureka

I had a flat after the tire pressure sensor lit up and fixed the tire. Now it comes on when it is cold outside. I always look at the tires and they look fine. I find after a bit if I hold down the button on the dash it eventually goes off. Again, it only seems to glow when I start first thing in morning when it is cold. It is getting so that I won't know if I am getting a flat or not. Kind of like the boy crying wolf. Anyone else find this to happen to them?
