Hi Guys,

Sorry if this is posted somewhere, I wouldnt even know what to search lol. I checked out the diagnostics section but it wasn't there.

Anyway, what does the yellow warning light on RHS of the dash display mean? It looks like a genie lamp with a squiggle above it. POV pack TT, no scroll dash or anything.

It only came on for a few seconds after going down a really steep hill. So, I'm guessing it read something as low...coolant?

Thanks Guys,
Chris

Oil light will appear if oil is low or if oil pressure dips below 5psi me thinks? no biggie just check level and keep your eye on it.

Hey guys,

Yeh I kinda thought it was oil, but oil for where?
Its not the red oil light for the engine.

I think it may be the low oil light for the transmission. Thats what I'm thinking now. I'll top it up tomorrow.

Hopefully the genie will still come out lol.

Checked engine oil level? I think it's that.

Going down hill, oil level sensor must have been triggered. So long as your engine oil is fine nothing to worry about.

Yes, its the engine oil level in the POV pac dash. Should not come on at all if your oil level is near the top marker on your dipstick, hill or no hill.

Sorry guys, feel pretty dumb now lol.

It was just the engine oil. I had checked it on the weekend, but it wasn't up to temperature sooo, false reading!

Topped it up last night and all sweet again. Due for its service this weekend anyway.

Thanks for your help guys, at least I know that there is a warning light there now, and what it means lol.
