Does anybody know what this yellow symbol signifies? It comes on occasionally.

That is funny. I think it should be a patch.
The symbol. Not the Drive like a 19 year old animal.

OK maybe both.

Not traction control.

"Pre-collision assist not available".

You'll have to slam on the brakes yourself, or just brace for impact.

It's a hard one to find. Best I could find was a Reddit post. Several discussions here but no image of that warning light.

Thank you for clarifying that! Any idea why it comes on periodically? You think maybe bad weather is messing with one of the sensors that monitor that feature?
It seems to come on maybe once a month or so but only stays on for a minute or less. Strange

The threads and other postings I found referenced dirty sensors, cameras, radar.

Discussion here, plus links to other threads on the subject, including system fault instances if I read it right.
