1997 Diamante 3 litre. Jap import into NZ.

There is a light that now appears on the central display ( beside
petrol light and trip/speed computer). Comes on after about 10 minutes
of driving.

Looks like an end on view of a fat(ish) tyre that has had the top cut
off. The bottom is flat and has little blocks along it and there is a
big exclamation mark in the middle. It is bright yellow.

Any clues as to what this does...The local mitsi dealer said they think
they know what it is but wouldn't tell me. They wanted me to take it in
and pay stealer rates I suspect!

Thanks

Ged

If you have the owner's manual to the car, or could gain access to a
manual from a similar car, it should explain the meaning of all the
idiot lights in the dash.

Thanks Chance.

I have tried this route and no joy short of spending $50 bucks on a
translated Japanese to English manual

Was hoping some kind soul would look up their manuals and post.

Cheers

Could be one of the indicators for low fluid.
Check the fluid levels of the plastic reservoir tanks for the coolant
overflow tank, and the windshield washer tank and also the brake master
cylinder has a low fluid indicator too.
