Warning light on instrument panel

What does the triangular-shaped warning light on the instrument panel mean? It is the red one, not the low tire warning light. Mine has come on this morning while driving

It can come on for a whole array of reasons - ranging from a due oil change to a door being open. Did you see a warning message on the center screen?

The only warning message was low tire, but the low tire warning light was on as well.

Then it probably just came on to tell you one of the tires was low on pressure...if not a sensor may be failing.

A faulty or depleted TPMS sensor causes "CHECK SYSTEM", not "LOW TIRE", so I'm going with your first answer.

Thank you for the replies. I had a screw in tire causing low tire. After repairing, the low tire pressure and the warning light went off. I was concerned the warning light was something else. Thanks again
