Our Genesis dashboard symbols update adds 11 indicators, but none new
Genesis dashboard symbols update
In the vast majority of cases, a symbols update involves literally making a half dozen brand new indicators. However, our Genesis dashboard symbols update was a simple matter of adding 11 pre-existing indicators to the table.
This is primarily because the new technology introduced in Genesis this year has also been added to the Hyundai line — and we made those images a few weeks ago!
The major addition is Lane Following Assistance (LFA) which helps detect 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.
In use, if the vehicle ahead and/or both lane markings are detected and the vehicle speed is below 120 mph (200 km/h), the green indicator light is seen. Gray indicates that the lane markings are not detected or the vehicle is above speed. It appears in white when the system is cancelled.
The owners manual goes on for several pages describing how to set up and use the system. As with Hyundai, we wonder if anyone will bother…
Others added include a Driver Attention system, which monitors a driver’s eyes for signs of sleepiness, and Grade Assist, which helps keep a vehicle under control while going downhill. But these and others used pre-existing symbols.
You can see them and the other 80+ symbols on our Genesis symbols page here.
