Driving on the freeway yesterday the exclamation point in triangle warning light came on in the main console. However, nothing appeared above it to explain the reason for the light. I kept watching and drove ~ 10 miles to my destination. Turned the car off, back on again a minute or so later, no warning light. Had ~ 40 miles on the range left. I Charged it successfully and drove another 30 miles over two days. No additional warning lights.

Anyone had a similar experience? I'm watching it closely and I'll take it in if this happens again, but there are no apparent issues with any systems as far as I can tell. I really wish the vehicle health report would move past the tire pressure screen (stays on that no matter what I do and pressure is just fine..checked)...would be nice to be able to get vehicle info through that, but alas...

Cheers,
Tim
 
The owner's manual has a listing of each icon and what it's for. I made a copy of the page and keep it in the car to familiarize myself with the icons when they all show on startup

You are correct, and I failed to mention that I checked the manual when I stopped. That is why I'm asking on here if anyone else has had this experience, because, according to the manual, when the 'exclamation point in a triangle' warning light comes on the center console it will be accompanied by and explanation. Mine was not, even though the manual said that it would be. Hence my question.

Cheers,

I had pretty much the same thing happen this morning, freaked me out - i turned off the car and then restarted it, yellow triangle with exclamation light went off and has not come back on. I ran a vehicle health report and it all shows green so I don't know what that was about but will keep an eye on it.

Since my experience a few weeks ago, I have had no recurrences, thankfully. I also did a vehicle health report which showed no problems. I'm hoping not to jinx things, but I believe this to have been an anomaly.
