Exclamation point on dash

[JayM6783]

I don't have my owners. Manual handy...when I was driving this morning I noticed a exclamation point inside what looks like a horseshoe on my dash this morning. What does this mean? Car drives fine and I didn't notice any issues

I just got this exclamation mark on my 2011 Accord coupe. I see it's tire pressure, however I was told my tires are filled with Nitrogen. Where can I get this filled? Will a regular tire shop have nitrogen or do I have to go to a Honda dealer?

EDIT: also, should I be able to turn traction control on/off while my low-pressure warning light is on?

you are way overthinking this.....nitrogen is a dealer add and dubious if you need it....just fill it with air.....traction control cannot be turned off with the light on....

Ah, nice. Thanks for clearing that up!

My brother paid $20 per tire for nitrogen?waste of money in my opinion. Air is free or $1 at some gas stations.

And air is mostly Nitrogen (~80%) and Oxygen (~20%) so just get air. Or go to the nearest Costco and ask to use their air hose for free (they use Nitrogen.)

being in the car biz for 35 years, here is where the dealer makes his money:

door edge guards
splashguards
any paint sealant products
any undercarriage protection (was called rustproofing)
nitrogen in tires
dealer service fee
pinstripe
wheel locks
tint above 199.00

leave any and all of these behind ....don't even negotiate them as your are giving away something that is more valuable than these...
