    It showed up a couple of times really quick and gone.

    It is NOT the Electric Power Steering warning sign. It is only a yellow steering wheel without the exclamation. Pretty much looks like Mercedes-Benz logo.

    I can't even find it from the manual. Does anyone have the similar situation?

    Thanks

    maybe it means your hands were off the wheel too long?

    Is it this, but without the exclamation?

    Yes, it is the steering control indicator. Thanks.

    I have to say the manual is not very easy to use, without knowing the symbol name, it is hard to find it.

    Download the Manual and save to your computer as a PDF - not sure if there's a specific one for Canada, but TOYOTA USA has them readily accessible. That way you can search for "steering" - or whatever.

    Yes, a computer is a must, a pad is even better.

    love the way the dash states "see a Toyota dealership/service center". IE do NOT go to another qualified place to determine the issue(s) .

    Most of us are good lemmings:p.

    But some of us aren’t :).

    The equation is definitely in their favor (y).
