Hi
This little orange light that looks like a crock pot, with water through it and a drip hanging out the bottom has come on and i can figure what it is. Ive checked everything, and levels on everything seem fine. Help Please, any ideas on what it could be?
I believe that is your Oil Pressure warning.
Either you have low oil, or a bad circuit.
I wouldn't drive very far to have it checked. And if you have AAA or something, now is a good time to use it!
It means dinner is ready.
Seriously, isn't it sad that the automakers use an icon that no one can figure out, instead of a word like "oil".
Seriously, it's an international world and car market. A silly icon doesn't help; but if it's clearly formed we all stand some chance of learning it.
The car is produced in factories all over the world and nationalized for most markets. I suspect the literate is most countries would prefer a word over an incomprehensible icon. And I bet "oil" is understood in almost all countries.
OK, but what does ??? mean?

Sorry that didn't come through ... was the Japanese characters for motor oil.
I am sure the Japanese market would prefer it over a crock pot icon.
Please don't feed the trolls.
Actually, in Japan, you get a picture of an Automatic Rice Cooker... ;)
