Thats the collision prevention assist status indicator. If you get to close too fast to someone it should also ding at you and blink an explanation point symbol.

So is this light always on, the collision assist indicator? I have a brand new Metris with 23 miles on it and it has this light on, lit up in RED, all the time. I would think it is only supposed to come on if I get too close to something....

I don't have this system on my Metris, but if it is always on and RED it should be be a warning, because our standard display stuff is white and the danger stuff is red.

Options/thoughts:
  • it is deactivated and letting you know.
  • it is a technical malfunction (computer error, view obscured, bad sensor, short in a wire, ...)

The service manager should know, because the manual is mum on this. Only mentions the default white symbol.

Try the menu options to see about activation / deactivation of the feature.

Page 150 in the manual. There is some additional info before and after ^^

That's the idea, mine is a little sensitive, on certain roads a shadow in the road will set it off momentarily. But it has worked correctly in a few driving situations.
