I think it is the symbol to add antifreeze (rectangular tank with liquid half way and a spout)but I could not find it in my book.The only time it did it was when it was cold. Probably hadn't had time to expand? Must be a little low?

Check for small leaks - you may not see antifreeze on the ground due to the shields under your car... I didn't for a while and then the expansion tank started leaking pretty good from underneath within a couple days. Its an easy DIY.

Nice! I love my Jeep... '93 YJ, 4.5" of lift... Allows me to work on a car the way I want to and not have to worry about screwing something up! And also allows me to keep the 5'er garaged on snowy days.

The ice warning shows up when the temperature is 3.0 Celsius.
