The triangle with the exclamation point is the ESP (traction control) warning light. It lights up when the TC senses a loss of traction. Could be really worn tires or probably hydroplaning or ice conditions. Maybe doing burnouts? Normally the light is off. You can also keep it on by pressing the ESP button, turning the system off and the light on
