62 Plate Nissan Juke.

It looks like some sort of handbrake warning to me but has a wavy line underneath. The handbrake is manual not an electric one and still works fine.



Any ideas?

Looks like it could be low tire pressure warning

That's the tyre pressure warning light.

Check you've got the right amount of air in the tyres.

It should go out once the pressures are within tolerances.

Yep. Your car is feeling deflated about a lack of air in one or more of its tyres.

Looks like a tyre pressure warning. My Skoda has something similar.

To answer my own question I have found this which I have saved and think originally posted on PH which suggests tyre pressure.



Seems an odd symbol for trye pressure though.

Isn't is a picture of a flat tyre with an exclamation mark in the middle?

Note that there may be a manual set or reset procedure and the light may be indicating that it needs that doing (regardless of pressure). I'm not familiar with the Juke, but in my 3 series you can set the TMPS yourself, and in some situations (e.g. changing a wheel) you have to do this, otherwise you get a permanent error when you're driving.

As said tyre warning

Sometimes you have to reset it on some cars, as you check tyres and they are ok, the weather has caused it to throw a wobbly, there is usually a sequence to re-callibrate it should it still stay on when tyres are ok

If it's only just appeared then it's likely she does indeed have a flat tyre. Tell me she can actually check for that.

It means the car will start to get slower over the next few weeks and then time for a new one smile
