Tire pressure warning light
A yellow warning light for low tire pressure, or for a fault in the tire pressure monitoring system.
Dashboard symbols vary by manufacturer. The vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic can say what a light means for a particular vehicle.
How to read it
The symbol is a tire seen in cross-section, with an exclamation mark inside. Toyota says it indicates low tire inflation pressure or a malfunction in the tire pressure warning system, and Nissan's LEAF manual that it warns of low tire pressure or indicates that the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is not functioning properly. UN Regulation No. 121 sets it as yellow.
