    I have this weird indicator with a vertical line across a car-like pictogram. Anyone knows what it means?

    The manual says to take it to the dealer immediately.

    I take it there's something wrong with the hybrid system.

    If it still drives tae it to the dealer to determine what the hybrid code may be. Often it is hv battery, inverter, abs system or it could be as simple as low 12v.

    It means you need to get codes read to see what's going on. Whether it be self diagnosed, a dealer checking it or whatever, you need that information to determine the corrective action. There's quite a few items that can cause those lights. I helped a forum member this weekend, with all the same lights lit that you have, plus the VSC light, and it was a P0AA6 526/612 code.

    Based on what I have seen here and in my car the hybrid battery has failed.

    don’t drive the car much both the 12 and the big battery in the back will fail.

    The symbol just means there are codes to be read. The problem could be the traction battery, sure. If it is, the codes will say so.
