General dashboard symbols

[gardener]

i have an iveco van, i know its not strictly fiat but i think the dashboards are pretty similar.... i have a symbol thats a red triangle with an explanation mark in the middle, it comes alight every few minutes....any thoughts as to what it is????.

The only red triangle on my instrument panel is for the Hazard Warning Lights but it doesn't have an explanation mark in it.

Red is usually a serious warning, so you should investigate. Could it be related to brakes: either fluid level or pad wear?

:yeahthat: i would think it was brakes

Probably is brakes although the brake warning is normally a black circle on a red background with smaller parts of a circle to denote the brake shoes. This warning light normally has an exclamation mark in the middle and is frequently used to indicate low brake fluid level, handbrake on or worn brake linings. Intermittent flashing of the light could be caused by low fluid level swishing side to side when cornering etc.

What size Iveco is it? The only warning light I've seen looking like that is to tell you you haven't got a tacho disk in your tacho or it's not switched correctly. Has your Iveco got one?
