Explination mark inside a traingle on the dash board

[v jenkinson]

Hi, wondering if anybody can help me, I have a 59 plate bmw 320d msport recently purchased from my local car dealer, so has had a service and mot only a couple of weeks ago. There's a small triangle with a exclamation mark inside it with like half an arrow going around the traingle on the dash that keeps lighting up every now and again when I go over speed bumps and when I'm driving on bad roads. Only flashes every now and again but doesn't always do it. Just wondering if I should be worried are wondering if anybody knows what this sign mean? Thanks x

thatd be the traction control light if im not mistaken.

Do you lose power when the light comes on?

This is traction light. Flashes when it corrects a wheel slippage under acceleration.
It just means it is doing its job and saved you from possibly ending up facing backwards, or at least that's how I interpret the symbol.
Probably all that low end diesel torque causing you to lose traction on uneven roads.

Did your car come with a manual? READ IT lol

For me means 1 of two things, ether traction control is turned off or traction control engaged itself preventing slip. In your situation just sounds like it detects a slip and prevents it. Again, just means it is working.

I generally try to make that light come on three or four times per day! LOL
