Pedestrian or Animal Detection Warning Indicators

Pedestrian and Animal Detection

These are Pedestrian or Animal Detection Warning Indicator symbols. There are two types or styles because the first manufacturer to use the system has developed a changeable instrument display.

  • Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
  • Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

If a standard or typical instrument cluster is chosen, the symbol to the left will be shown if a collision with a person detected is imminent. The symbol looks like a human male with energy beams radiating from his hands! It is meant to look like a man standing in the driving lane.

If a different display type is chosen, and a collision with a person detected is imminent, the symbol to the left will be shown inside the display. It looks like a more generic human with sound waves coming out of him or her. It is meant to indicate radar beams bouncing off the person.

These systems are generally capable of detecting animals as well, and some manufacturers add the image to the left to separate animal from pedestrian detection. As a driver, your reaction will likely be very, very similar.

Ideally, since the detection system exists the brakes will be applied automatically. Regardless, please apply the brakes yourself and avoid running them over! Of course if you’re reading this after the fact, its a bit late!

Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the  use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

We are not in the auto repair business nor do we publish automotive service manuals.

Technology is always changing and what is current and accurate today may be literally out-of-date and inaccurate tomorrow. And when it comes to the current state of flux in the auto industry, nothing is more true.
