Default Warning light on dash

Today I noticed a yellow warning light was on and I didn't recognize it. Unfortunately my owners' manual is at home so I'm asking the collective instead... ;-)

It's a "snow flake" shaped light located just between the engine temp gauge and the tach. Can someone tell me what it is? Is it a "slippery" conditions warning? That would be kind of strange since it was about 40 F when I left home this morning so it was well above freezing. The light stayed on all the way to work by which time it was in the high 40s.

Thanks

Yep, that's the slippery roads/ice on road warning, it comes on just above freezing point, from memory about 3*C. If the temp was well above thus then more than likely your external temp sensor is faulty. It's located behind the front numberplate

Yep - mine was on this am. Outside temp was 4*Cent (= 39+ F) Not sure why they have this, as you probably know it's cool outside without the assistance of the light
