Integrated Motor Assist Indicator Symbol

Integrated Motor Assist

This text symbol, IMA, stands for Integrated Motor Assist. It is associated with hybrid vehicles. The indicator normally comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is first switched on. There is nothing serviceable by the vehicle’s owner, so if the indicator comes on at any other time, you will need to see your dealer or qualified service center as soon as possible. The vehicle will not operate on the gas engine or the hybrid battery alone and IMA connects the two.

• Before moving on, are you sure this is your symbol??
• If not, you can return to our main Text Symbols page and scan again!
