So, what is that light on your dashboard? What follows is easily the most complete list available of symbols and warnings that may appear in and on your car’s dashboard or instrument cluster.
The following are warning lights and indicators found in vehicles built by Holden. Click the link to the right of each one to learn more.
They are ordered primarily by color and roughly by importance. First up are red, followed by red with yellow/amber/orange options, strictly yellow/amber/orange symbols (depending on how you see the color!), then blue and green symbols and finally white and gray scale symbols. There are over 50 of them so search carefully!
