Default I believe that's your car is telling you a tire has low pressure....

Hit CAR --> Systems --> scroll to 2nd page to --> Display Tire Pressure and take a look.

(I am doing this from memory and might be a little off....)

Default Are you sure??

I would think an icon of a flat tire flashing on the little screen would be obvious. An " ! " in itself could mean other things too.

Default I think you got the traction control light

It's a ! inside a triangle inside a circle in the face of the tach. If that's on and stays on it means the traction control system isn't working properly. If it's flashing, it means the traction control is active.

The flat tire indicator comes up on the center screen, not the tach face.

It is most definitely a tire pressure monitoring warning light, either a tire is low, or the system itself is broken...
