indicator bezel..?? the second icon? what is it?

Ok, I'm driving my 09 MSC ...I make a hard right goin up a hill, and a yellow colored light comes on very fast and goes away !"so fast that I couldn't tell what icon it was. The second little circle starting on the left side...you know it has 6 icons in those circles "The indicator and warning lamps 1,,not the computer in the square box..". the one attached to the steering wheel? ..with a flash light, I noticed it has the words brake on it.. Now why did it light UP? and go off? ? Darn I don't make sense...now I was not driving with the parkin brake on...I know that!! maybe my hill assist if failin?


Thanks Ladyvalea

The yellow one is the DSC indication light. Which is just saying "Whoa, you are pushing a little far, let me think about this really quick, oh I need to apple braking pressure on the <insert specific wheels here>"

Sounds like you made that hard right a little too hard.

It always surprises me that people see the DSC light. When I'm doing something that would invoke DSC, I'm not looking at the dash.
