Dash Warning Lights, No Manual, Nothing In Faq

[sc_toy]

Hey all,

I looked through the FAQ and the various other FAQs on the net. Couldn't find anything with a description of what the in dash warning lights mean. Lately I've been seeing a warning light that looks like a carousel/court house kinda thing!?! Pardon the bad description...

Did I miss a FAQ somewhere that describes this?

Pardon the WOB if I missed something,

Sounds like your merry-go-round is about to break.

hehe

Can you take a dig picture and post it? And what about your owner's manual? That should show all the lights.

Register your car with Lexus.com and then you could request an owner manual for free!

LOL yeah gotta stay off the carny rides.

No digi cam, and no manual (see subject), I'll have to e-mail lexus about getting a new manual.

It's an orange light, on the left side of the display a couple inches up from the trac light. It looks like a roof, with 5-6 pillars, and a floor. LOL

It's a standard Toyota symbol, I saw it in my old Camry manual. It's only come on for about 5 seconds twice now, so I'm not too concerned, but if it's something that I can do a little preventative maintenance on....

I dunno why I think it's something to do with the coolant...

EDIT: Just went out to the car, when turning the key to on it doesn't light up, but looking at it in the sun I can see it's directly to the left of the tail-light warning light. If anyone's got a lexus manual and can tell me what it says in there it'd be much appreciated.

I'm going to get a manual mailed to me before Lexus stops giving them away and I gotta get gouged on eBay...

add coolant is the display

[SirSam]

I remember getting something similiar to that, and it happened just before my Thermostat went out, on my Talon that is.

As Zig said, it is your coolant light.

Yeah I took a look in my moms LS400 manual last night, I was right on my hunch that it's the coolant.

This only happened a couple times, and it's getting colder out so I just started using the heater. I think I may have had bubbles in the core that had to escape cause it hasn't done it since.

Will check it anyway before I go home... thanks for the replys.
