What does this symbol on the dashboard mean?

The OK(arrow) on the pic below- sometimes there and sometimes not.. any ideas what it is?

[SirDavidAlhambra]

If nothing else, it means that the people who made this car didn't give much thought to intuitive interface design.

If you have a warning (simple stuff like seatbelts fastened?/do you want internal sweep disabled? or more serious stuff like tyre pressure warnings) this will illuminate and you press the OK button on the steering wheel to remove the warning.

[SirDavidAlhambra]

They should have put the "OK" button next to the warning message or alternatively should have something like "OK?" to indicate it's not a notification but a prompt for action.

In fact, if they had used that display real estate effectively, they would have enough space for something much more intuitive like "Clear message?"
