The little triangle and ! I would assume is in relation to the light saying your tires are flat, or about the BRAKE one. Or is BRAKE in relation to the hand brake?

Its the TPMS light, either you have low tire pressure or you have aftermarket wheels without the correct sensors. Do you not have an owners Manuel?

That light is pretty much telling you to look at the gauges and idiot lights because something else is going on, i.e. TPMS. Once the TPMS light goes off, so will the triangle light. It's an idiot light to tell you to look at the other idiot lights lol.

Yeah thats the TPMS saying your tires are low on air and that triangle next to tarmac means that too (or if you have something else the car wants to complain about ha including if you don't have your seatbelt on). Mine were always on when it was cold but when I drove a while it would go away.

anyway to turn the TPMS lights off? they seem rather useless, constantly on even when wheels are perfectly inflated. seems weather effects it the most, so even if i did have a flat i wouldnt believe the TPMS cause it always lies to me.

Its the Tire pressure monitoring system(TPMS) inflate your tires more.

It means head to Pep Boys.

Check tire pressures and verify your Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors (TPMS) are all intact.
