Three new entries added to our acronyms page

Acronyms page swells

Our update of the Mazda dashboard symbols page netted three new entries for our acronyms page. In effect, it shows that manufacturers need to stand apart from each other.

Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS) is a part of Mazda’s i-ACTIVESENSE system. The system is already a renaming of Advanced Driver Assist Systems, while CTS is a low end self drive system utilizing the technology making up the i-ACTIVESENSE system. We’ve added its fault waring symbol to the right.

Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is nothing more than Automatic Braking and Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) is, of course, Radar Cruise Control with the addition of the company’s badge. Whether a manufacturer uses cameras or radar, all these systems are simply Adaptive Cruise Control.

Cars are changing, and among those changes is the growing number of symbols and indicators that will invariably show up on your dashboard or instrument panel. Every year, new features are added to vehicles, each of which is accompanied by a new symbol or symbols and likely a new acronym.

At DashboardSymbols.com, our aim is to help you understand what is happening to your vehicle at the first sign of trouble – a new warning light illuminated on your instrument panel. Its all here on this website. Our first intention is to bring the latest technologies down to earth and understandable for everyday drivers.

With these additions, the acronym page now hosts over 230 entries. The page is here.
