The head scratching continues

Not sure which is more frustrating; the HVAC system that sometimes makes no sense [a/c condenser kicks on even in the winter in teen weather dry and brisk] or the relentless come and go after reset tpm orrrrrr...
A warning light that stays on for ABSOLUTELY no reason [yep checked vehicle status]
Oh the warning light went away after I had to stop and run an errand [8 minutes?] Nope build date wasn't April fools day...
Starting to 2nd guess my purchase... SMFH

Edit: forgot to attach this but this is the very generic warning symbol that meant nothing??
No scan. Went into vehicle settings...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c0ee9dec8c.jpg

You say you checked vehicle status - with a scan tool? OBD2 generic or with something like Ista-D/+ etc?

Hvac sounds interesting - ghost in the machine

The AC comes on ALL THE TIME when you are heating in the winter in order to remove moisture from the air (aka 'dehumidification')


I dont understand the rest of the post/picture...

The green arrow pointing left means your turn signal is on. Turn it off.
The AC comes on every time you press the Auto button and must be turned off with a press on the snowflake button.
Resist the urge to FLICK with the HVAC controls. Leave them in auto and change temp only.
The triangle w/"!" to right of "D" should be readable in i-drive under vehicle status.
RTFM

No shit. Really? Didn't realize it was on when I took the pic.
Wrong. Negative on the triangle. Hence the post...
Scratching...

I didn’t realise you weren’t being sarcastic. This little triangle can be as simple as low washer fluid level - use the indicator stalk scroll wheel to see what the problem is. Also illuminates when you exceed the speed limit (if fitted).

Yeah, I gotcha however nothing was attached to that triangle. As I shared, I checked the vehicle status and there was nothing. Then after stopping in a place to run an errand, it went away after restarting her... strange

**EDIT: Okay so This time is soon as I got in the vehicle I went straight to settings vehicle info. It's telling me I have a high battery drain! The battery was just replaced this past summer!
Question: WHY did the triangle go away last time after driving a few minutes, stopping for a few to run an errand? ALSO, is it true if you keep your key 30 feet away or less from your vehicle, it never goes to "sleep?" and, Does this mean when the vehicle is armed or not?

**EDIT #2:
Triangle warning shut off right after I started her after sitting for about 30 mins...

It will stay on if you don't buckle your seatbelt as well.
