We’ve now made Symbols by Manufacturer our main symbols page

Symbols by manufacturer

For some time now, we’ve recommended searching our symbols by manufacturer pages as the most effective way of finding what our visitors needs. Well, we finally swapped that page in to be the main symbols page.

The process of rearranging all our pages by color put the issue front and center. In point of fact, we should have done it long ago. We already do this with our dead key fob pages…

When we first started DashboardSymbols.com, we opted to simply arrange all symbols by category. We simply never anticipated the sheer number of symbols and indicators that would be gathered at the site. We surpassed 1,000 early in 2024 from some 50 manufacturers. About 15 have now been arranged by color.

And while offering a page for every vehicle ever made was clearly madness, we realized several years after that we could make a page for each manufacturer with relative ease. We’ve now transitioned fully, placing the manufacturer page front and center.

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.

Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

These posts are for information sharing purposes only, and should not be used in lieu of an OEM service manual or factory authorized service procedure. We are not in the auto repair business nor do we publish automotive service manuals. Nothing we include on these pages and posts has been reviewed, approved or authorized by any vehicle manufacturer.

Technology is always changing and what is current and accurate today may be literally out-of-date and inaccurate tomorrow. And when it comes to the current state of flux in the auto industry, nothing is more true.
