2nd Start

This is a 2nd Start Indicator symbol. This feature, if switched on, causes the vehicle to move from a standing start in the higher, second, gear in slippery conditions. The light will be on when the feature is activated, which is done manually using a button on the dashboard or more likely the center console.

  • Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on.
  • Otherwise return to our main Text Symbols page and scan again!

If the light is on unexpectedly, the system has likely been activated accidently. Look for the on/off switch to deactivate it.
