orange exclamation mark on dash
 

2006 jeep grand cherokee

just finished renting it. for most of the trip, except for a few hours,
an orange exclamation mark came on the top left corner of the dash. it
had a half circle around the bottom of it and the bottom of the circle
was like a zigzag. didin't have any problems though? anyone knew what
this light meant?

Might look in your whiskey chest for the owner's manual. The WJ
dash look like this, maybe you will see the icon:

can't check the whiskey box cause it was a rental . its been returned.

and its not that dash either. it was the dash where the odometer in the
picture u sent is where the info screen is.

the light came on kinda where that water in gas light is.

Re: orange exclamation mark on dash
 

Sounds like the tire pressure light. Did it look like a U-shape with ridges
on the bottom? That and the EVIC display below the tachometer (rpms) would
show what each tire's pressure was. You'd tap the STEP button to revolve
through the various messages it can display. If that's not it I can look at
the manual later today.

thats the light. step button didn't show pressures though, but i did
have a kinda low tire througout the trip. Weird how it wen't away for a
day and i didn't add any air.

Air pressure will change with tire temperature... must have been borderline.

If you're just below the right pressure when cold it'll set off the warning
light. When mine were low it also lit up their name on the EVIC text
display. Don't know which trim levels do or don't include the display of
that info. I don't know the low threshold PSI.

As the sun hits them the pressure will rise. As you drive them it'll
generate enough heat to likewise warm them up enough to raise the pressure.
I'm guessing a combination of the two was responsible in your situation.
