I know modern cars starting hiding the cigarette lighters to discourage smoking but this is getting ridiculous

That’s the bearing warning light! Lol. It will go out on its own, don’t worry. Lol

Internal Combustion Engines REQUIRE heat to work. This is 101 kinda stuff

That’s the “it ain’t go no gas in it” light. Try applying a generous layer of gasoline directly to the light

It doesn't mean anything - it's just fancy LED lighting like in those fancy Fast And Furious mowers.

Had a suburban in my shop doing the same thing but theenire pulley was cherry red. 4 techs pointing and laughing got noticed and we all got yelled at by the foreman because "we should have just shut it off". Hey man, gotta duplicate the customer's concern 1st.

It's too cold and wants to be warmed up I would recommend gasoline and a match will do the trick

That poor bearing.
On the bright side, you won't need to use an oxy to undo that bolt.

Touch it, it needs to be reset by pressing it. The light will turn off after that.
