Emergency Assist Indicator

These are Emergency Assist Indicator symbols. The emergency assist system monitors the driver and is activated when the driver is inactive. In black and white the symbol indicates the system is working, while a yellow/amber/orange indicator points to a system fault.

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

If the system is activated, it first asks the driver to take over steering. If the driver does not respond, emergency assist assumes control of the vehicle and automatically brakes it to a standstill in its own lane. In a real world test, the seat belt tightened, the emergency flashers came on, the car braked to a stop and actually called 911!
