A single model increases the Ford symbols page count by how much??

Ford symbols page

We have finally finished the first of 13 models, and the single model has increased the Ford symbols page count by 43! Forty three! and a full 37 of them are brand new to our lists. When we started, there were roughly 90 symbols on the page…

It is clearly pointless to show them all here, but we can list them and highlight a couple of standouts. New symbols include four exhaust modes, four steering modes, 14 — yes 14 — G.O.A.T. modes (that’s Goes Over Any-type of Terrain), four trail turn assist symbols, to name a few.

Generally, we find ourselves simply adding new symbols to existing pages, but the Bronco required the addition of five new pages for new systems. Exhaust and steering modes for example.We’re showing only one of each.

There is even a one-pedal drive page now, as the Bronco is not an EV, where one pedal driving is generally found.

The majority of the new symbols will be found in the information screen and most in black and white. It indicates a shift to added systems that don’t necessarily have a failure or fault symbol in red or yellow/amber/orange.

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.
