Collision warning system and malfunction indicators page now hosts 29 images

Collision warning system

By virtue of an Emergency Steering Warning Light indicator from Hyundai, our collision warning system and malfunction indicators page now hosts 29 images!

The Emergency Steering Warning Light (right), and is part of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) The system is intended to assist steering to aid in avoiding a collision with an oncoming vehicle from the front or the side or if a pedestrian or other obstacle is detected.

It will be seen in yellow when all or part of FCA is disabled or malfunctioning. It will blink in red when steering assistance is required.

Another recent addition to the page is the Rear Collision Warning indicator (right). While it resembles many of the symbols already seen on this post, it is specifically used to warn of a possible collision from behind. The difference is that the car in front is seen in full and the one behind is only partially visible. The roles are reversed in collision warnings with a car in front.

The number 29 is ultimately the result of manufacturers designing their own images, at times to depict the type of vehicle, SUV, truck, or sedan, or simply choosing different methods to depict when something is turned off. The three to the right all indicate that the system is off!

You can see them all here.
