Transmission Warning Indicator Symbol

Transmission

This odd tuning fork-on-wheels-looking image is a Transmission Warning Indicator symbol. It belongs to a supercar so most drivers will never get the chance to see this one, which is good as the image is nearly impossible to interpret. The light can indicate an actual transmission system malfunction, or high transmission or clutch temperatures. The gap in the upper part of the image is likely meant to represent the clutch.

Is the light blinking??

The light blinks if a malfunction in the transmission system occurs and the vehicle may become undrivable. This will clearly need your dealer’s expertise or that of a qualified repair shop.

If it comes on steadily, the transmission or clutch may be overheated. Allow the vehicle to idle until the light goes out. Your dealer should be consulted if this happens regularly.
