Sometimes the dash will show an error when the key FOB has a low battery

Usually when you get the red triangle, there's also a warning in the multi display that tells you what's wrong.

The red "!" (exclamation point) indicates low tire pressure on one if not some of the tires.

Not necessarily. It only means that when "LOW TIRE" comes up in the display and amber tire icon is lit. It also comes up when an oil change is required, the check engine light is on, or any of a myriad of different reasons.

The red triangle is telling you something is wrong, it does not tell you what is wrong. You need to read the message on the display. It could be low washer fluid, low tire pressure, etc.

It means your washer fluid level is low. Add more.

Haha...It's telling you your windshield washer fluid is low. I hate that warning because it makes it look like a serious problem. And it's so annoying it forces me to refill it just to turn it off!
