I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't. To be fair, it really doesn't look anything like what it symbolizes! I'll tell you more once people have had a chance to answer.

Nope. But I assume it is something perverted or dirty because it seems everything is perverted and dirty.

Is it a light from a car dash?

Tire monitoring system warning. It's telling you something is off. Mine goes off if the pressure on one of the tires falls to 25 PSI or less; recommended pressure is 32 PSI. It won't go off until I get the low tire back up to pressure. Fortunately, it only happens to me if I have to park the car outside when it is very, very cold, which isn't too often.
ETA: The recommended pressure for my vehicle is 32 PSI. I don't know if that's standard for everyone. I found that info on the sticker on the driver's door frame, if anyone is interested in looking for theirs.

Lets you know something is amiss with the tire pressure on at least one tire on your car.
It appears on my dash and a chime rings to call your attention to it.

Mine turned on this winter too. I find it funny that tire pressure goes down on days that are cold enough that the machines at the gas stations that are used to fill tires, are all frozen and inoperable.

Well I don't have one of those in my car (I don't think) because my car is 17 years old. I'll have to ask DH what it has for that purpose. I drive a 1999 (bought it brand new) made in Japan Honda Civic that I adore. It has less than 100,000 miles on it. It has wishbone suspension, so it takes curves like a race car-well, at least to me it does. It's a manual car which I prefer.

Yup, tire pressure monitor. My left rear tire loses 5 lbs of pressure every time it gets cold overnight, so I see it a lot in the winter.

It is a tire pressure warning symbol. But I still maintain that there's not one thing about it that would indicate "tire."
I went today by our local tire place for them to order me a new set. In looking at the tires, they noted one looked problematic. Turns out it had dangerously low pressure due to a nail in it. The owner said, "I'm surprised your indicator light wasn't on." Well, we looked at the dash and it was on. In fact, it had been on for several days... I just didn't know what it meant. I had intended to call it to my husband's attention and had simply forgotten.
Thank goodness I was stopping by there today anyway. The owner said I was at high risk for a blowout. Live and learn.
I thought I'd share in case others didn't know what the symbol meant either.

Tire Pressure Warning symbol on a dash panel. When I first got my car, and turned the key it came on for a few seconds then went off. I checked the manual then.

If you look at a section of tire from this angle it does look like what it is... just we don't see it from here! Only someone working in a tire repair probably does. Look at the bottom end of this cross section and you'll see the icon "live"

Lol. Or make it look like a FLAT tire. I bet we all would get that one!
