What's that flashing triangle with an exclamation point?

Hey guys, do you guys get this? I got a couple of times today. It's a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle and it flashes. You see it right between your speedometer and RPM meter. I'm just curious as to know what this is because I don't know if I should worry about it. Have you guys done this before?

Sorry...what you're looking at is the TCS light (Traction Control System). It's basically an electronic way that the car prevents wheelspin when it detects traction being lost.

Okay. I thought it was some kind of engine problem. But I guess it's okay. Thank you for the help.

This microphone feature on the new iPad is pretty damn good, it transcribes everything pretty well and accurately.

Yeah, and if you have navi a message should pop up on your navi screen too. if it was raining, that's probably why. Pretty much telling you you're about to start drifting and get sidewayz. It also tends to happen a lot if you happen to be delivering tofu down a mountain in the early morning hours.
