Warning and indicator symbols
The instrument panel symbols tell you the status of different systems in your vehicle. Some indicate whether a system is active and operating as it should, and others alert you to important information or detected faults.
Symbol types and colors
Some symbols are warnings that require immediate action, while others indicate the current status of specific functions. The symbol color roughly signifies the level of importance. Red symbols are the most critical, while amber symbols represent less urgent warnings and alerts. Symbols in other colors typically convey status information about the vehicle's functions.
Be sure to look up the meaning of symbols you are unfamiliar with. Many symbols will appear with a notification providing more information.Tip
