Driving to work this morning I noticed the light that is a exclamation mark that is near the seat belt light is, came up and now won't go away. What dose the exclamation mark mean?

warning light

im my manual for a 2012 2.5 crd the only icon with a exclamation mark is for a brake warning light ,its a exclamation mark inside a circle?.
may be a low brake fluid warning ?
Hope that helps

Isn't that the light to warn that the hand brake is on?

yep.... i had it trick me once or twice....doooow... check there is nothing stoping the handle from going all the way down....

 

[wes570]

I have put the handle down all the way. It's a manual 03 d22. What can I do to get rid of it?

 

[KraftyPg]

Could also be dirt in the switch, but check you fluids as well.

 

[wes570]

Where is the switch for it Karftypg?

 

[KraftyPg]

I don't know for sure you'd have to check the manual. It used to be a common problem in older cars just like dirt in the reverse switch that made the reverse lights stay on but I'm not sure where all the switches are on a D22. It may be under the console near the ratchet part of the handle.

I think the reverse switch is on the left side of the gearbox. Check the brake cam levers on the rear drums and make sure their not seizeing on.
