Mini Dashboard Symbols and Warning Lights

Mini Symbols

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, fault lights and indicators found in vehicles built by Mini. Click the link to the right of each one to learn more.

How They Are Presented

They are ordered primarily by color and roughly by importance. First up are red, followed by red with yellow/amber/orange (depending on how you see the color!) options, strictly yellow/amber/orange symbols, then blue and green symbols and finally white and gray scale symbols. There are now over 100 of them so be patient!
