The yellow triangle light on your Toyota Prius can signal various issues, including low oil. While this warning is somewhat vague, it signifies a problem that should be looked into. Although warning lights may cause concern, not all are critical. It's the red lights that call for urgent action or pulling over. A red flashing light accompanied by a sound indicates a more severe problem. To ensure your safety, it's advisable to take your car to a mechanic if you're unsure about the warning.

    Each time I've had an issue with either the car key not being in the vehicle or having to hold the key up to the ignition to start the car. But today, the car started probably because I slammed on the brakes and went off-roading. 🤣
