Kia symbols page swells to 90+ indicators

Kia symbols page

We’ve completed an update of our Kia symbols page, adding 20 new entries as a result. Overall, this completes the Hyundai Motor Group of manufacturers.

The large number of add ons points to additional technology handed down from parent Hyundai. Among them are the Lane Following Assistance (LFA) symbols, in multiple colors. LFA is now found across the company’s offerings.

The technology detects lane markings and/or a vehicle ahead on the road, and helps center the vehicle in the lane. It is essentially a light duty self driving system that is a step above lane keeping and behind hands free driving. In fact, the driver gets a hands-off warning and if he or she still does not have their hands on the steering wheel lane following assist is automatically canceled.

We’ve already given kudos to Kia for finding new uses for older symbols rather than adding more new symbols and in electric vehicles (EVs). One is the Glow Plug indicator, generally found in diesel engines and the Low Coolant indicator originally intended for gas and diesel engines.

See the Kia symbols page here for more, now holding over 90 entries.
