"LO" is the HVAC setting. Means the temp control is turned down all the way. If you guys recall in mid-MY22 they removed the temp readout on the knobs due to the chip shortage, so Ford's solution was to put that readout on that upper-left corner of the screen.

As for the warning triangle, yes that is odd and I've never seen it before. My bet is it's either HVAC or Nav related.

If you had low oil pressure, you'd get a warning message on the screen in the instrument cluster, not on the entertainment system screen.

I think the triangle has to do with the ac system as it’s next to the low setting for the temperature. It still blows very cold air. It only happened twice so far. There are no alerts or messages in the app but I will check the instrument panel

Ok, well later today. I will play around with my climate controls and see what I get...
For the "LO" ....

I did find this for the Triangle=

It is a catch-all indicator meant to grab your attention immediately because a critical or safety-related issue has been detected.
Because this symbol serves as a general alert rather than a specific diagnosis, it is almost always accompanied by a text message on your instrument cluster or another specific warning light (such as a battery, oil can, or check engine icon..

Well done, you got my reference!

I love the movie "Blazing Saddles".

Could be door ajar, low oil, anything that needs attention might have notice in dash screen, etc.
The red triangle icon on a Ford Maverick (often with an exclamation mark in the center) serves as a master warning indicator. It acts as a catch-all to grab your attention, signaling that an issue requires your immediate focus. [1]

... I will just reiterate, LO is the HVAC setting so it can just be forgotten about in this situation. Pretend it's not even there.

The AI responses being copy and pasted in this thread are just as vague and are of no help to the OP...

Since all the owners here have not had this issue and are offering good possibilities…looks like a job for a ford dealer as Andy @SafetyGuy suggests. (and subsequent results for the
MTC gang).

Intermittent…crap! This will never happen when you visit the dealership

Yep, just check for codes for severity as the red triangle exclamation point is a "something needs driver attention" notice.

I have a 2024 hybrid Lairet and twice now I got this symbol . Does anyone know what this means?
See attached photo
Thanks

That could be the "weather alerts" feature. I was goofing around on my mav a while ago by going through the settings and checking everything out while waiting for the mrs to get done with an appt...and seen something clickable for "weather alerts". Then recently some really bad storms blew through with Severe T-Storm and Tornado warnings issued...and driving home from work on the screen some weather alerts popped up showing the nearby counties affected. I believe it had an icon right where yours is...but I dont remember what the icon was in the shape of. I also think it was a Sirius XM feature vs a Ford/infotainment system feature. But see if you can click the exclamation mark and see if anything happens. otherwise that is an odd place to put some sort of vehicle issue vs on the dash.

In a 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid, a red triangle with an exclamation point (“!”) in the middle is known as the Master Warning Light (or General Warning Light).
Because the Maverick Hybrid features a high-voltage electrical system alongside its standard combustion engine, this red light demands immediate attention.

Whoa, can’t believe the Maverick comes with a 50pound owner’s manual and nobody can find that reference!
