its TPMS (the one you don't have).

Anyway, to fix that, keep driving, for like 20 minutes and it'll go away. If you dont have time for that, just park your car, do whatever you need to do, and come back and continue it again. It'll work eventually.

I had the same problem when I first got the car.
