Warning triangle I think.

Post by RayM » Tue Aug 01, 2017 8:33 am

Hi Guys

Out in the Z last night and I noticed what I can only describe as a very small triangle in the centre portion of the info display just to the right of the box that displays the gear you are in (DCT Box)

Its very innocuous and I've not noticed it before. I only had a full service 300 miles ago and had everything done, brakes, fluids etc etc so nothing can be due. Any ideas guys? could it be tyre pressure ?

Mine is a 2010 model 35IS and does not have the Idrive

Cheers.

You can still go through the service menu using the stalk and make sure that the garage reset all the service intervals.
I think if it was the tyre pressure you would have the symbol on the dash to let you know.
It could even just be a bulb out.

Low fuel? Lamp out?

The tiny triangle means there's an issue that check control will report as a larger icon at startup.

Low washer fluid?
service reminder exceed?
Brake pads low?

all will show as this.

Hi Guys

Just had a service so should not be that and 3/4 tank of fuel.

Brake pads done at service too. I will have to check all the lights.

Anything else to check ?

Yes use the cars own CHECK CONTROL function to tell you in plain English. RTFM for that.
