I got this warning light twice (today and yesterday).
I thought it might be due to the cold melbourne weather, the first time it turned off after about 5 minutes of driving. But today, it went off after 5 minutes but then 20 minutes later it came on again. So it can't be due to cold weather, i looked in the manual and it suggests the light is power steering - the icon is different though. (Nothing in the manual is the same as the orange frost light). Anyone has this light sign before, and know what it means?? Sorry photo is upside down! |

It means there may be ice on the road because outside temp is below about 5 degrees centigrade. Its a European thing!

It pretty much means you are going to need a jumper

Shouldn't need a jumper for those temps, with a decent battery. Hahaha looks like I can expect it a couple times over the next couple of days

I think Damo means that 'you' may need to wear a jumper, not the battery
Correct me if I'm wrong, of course, Damo Craig H
