Default what is my Honda trying to tell me?

Okay so i'm leaving work tonight and and some sort of symbol shows up on the screen. I took a picture of it. So i was wondering if anyone could tell me what it means. It's a Triangle with a (!) in it. I don't think the service center is open on sudays, but should i worry and take it into the shop? Any insight would be appriciated. Also it's a 2007 Civic Si with 15,000 miles. If that information helps.

you should only be worried if you are afraid of your tires spinning. that is the signal to show that your traction control is off. the button for it is on the left side of the steering wheel, below the select/reset and lighting buttons. there is no problem.

As stated above, the indicator is telling you that the traction control is turned off. 07galaxygrey4dr told you the location. More specifically, the button will say VSA OFF on it. It pressing this button doesn't make the indicator go away, your car is telling you there is a problem with the traction control and that the computer turned it off to prevent further damage. It the indicator doesn't go away when you press the button, bring your car to the dealership asap.

Your first action should have been to look up the symbol's meaning in your owner's manual. Then ask here for why it was on.

i love how all the replies are the same. everyone feel helpful now?

by the way, its your vsa light. the button is located to the left of your steering wheel (it reads vsa off) just push it. if it goes off your all good. if not, something may be wrong with the system.

The ignition is in the 'On' position without the engine running.
