• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

My hazard warning indicator (red triangle) is illuminated. It stays on for a little while when the engine is stopped.
It’s trying to tell me something, but the dealer has no clue.
Anyone else have this condition?
Thanks.

Is this the icon you are seeing? Flip through your mode button(steering wheel) to show what the error is.

The red hazard flasher button in your center dash?

It is normally lit with all the other buttons when accessory mode is on. Did you try opening the driver’s door immediately after shutting off the engine to see if it turns off?
 
It is the button in the centre (l’m Canadian 😊) dash.
I’m not sure what accessory mode is. I am assuming that it is the retained accessory power after the engine is turned off.
This is not the case. The light is on all the time, even while driving.
Thanks.

I haven't verified on the Telly, but on most cars if your headlights are on, it will illuminate the button until the headlights are turned off. All buttons will be illuminated if the headlights are on. The emergency flasher may stand out because it is red and in the center(re) of the dash.
