Default Warning light when accelerating hard?

Found this old video on youtube of an LS430 accelerating on a highway. While sprinting, i noticed the red warning triangle appear on the display. Couldnt make out what the warning was about but wanted to ask if any of you guys ever experienced this condition while sprinting in your LS or do you think its just unique to that car. Also im not real up to finding out in my own vehicle by the way.

Ive had the VSC warning light come on while accelerating onto the freeway. Also had the warning come on when accelerating for my washer fluid being low lol.

Strange, but I think the message says "Speed Limit Engaged" but the speedo is in kph, so 135 is the mph limit, not kph, unless they don't like to let Arabs go too fast.

That's the sphincter sensor in the driver's seat flashing the warning light - warning of excessive tightening that can lead to sudden decompression.

Lol at all the comments!!! Maybe its just a warning telling you that some type of limit has been reached. . Kinda off topic but i remember an older 7 series(mid 90's) used to close all windows and the sunroof once it reached a certain mph under hard acceleration.

Thanks JW for paying attention. Youre right there. Its the "youre super gay if you went through this entire spam video" warning light. Ive never triggered it on my LS, but clearly, the OP has.

I hope you're not suggesting that all who watched this video is "super gay"? Wouldnt bet on that and no i havent triggered the light so far. If i do happen to, i will definately let all the club members know. Including the "super gay" ones.

hey, if that LS maxed out at 135 kph (84 mph) and lights start flashing... it wouldn't be gay (happy) at all...
