I just bought an IS300 and in the cluster is this little car icon that always lights up and i can"t figure out what it means. I hope someone can tell me what it is. Sorry for the ass picture but it looks like a top view of a car with lines in the rear.\

thanks

could be any of the rear lights. i renember it happening to my sc when i had it and it was annoying as hell...one day i noticed a brake light worked some days and the other days it didnt. changed the bulb and never again.

so i would say play around with the light bulbs and change them around and see what happens, im assuming one of them is not working proper :thumbsup:

hrmm my mom has a lexus rx300 and if I am seeing the picture correctly that is the same light that is always on in the dash of her car also. I cant remember if it comes on when I turn on the headlights or when I turn on the car, but either way I know it just means one of the set of lights is on, either day time running lights or your head lights.

do you have the manual by any chance?
they should have a page or two where it says what each light means

It's one of the rear lights that is burnt out. It could be either a parking light or a brake light.
