Exhaust mode indicator symbols

Exhaust mode

These are Exhaust Mode Indicator symbols. They are an exclusive from Ford and found in new Bronco Raptor models as part of the vehicle’s G.O.A.T modes. That is Goes Over Any-type of Terrain (G.O.A.T.) modes.

• Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, read on below.

The exhaust modes literally change the amount of noise emanating from the vehicle. The first one shown, from the left, is Normal mode, where the setting is said to provide a balance of comfort and feedback. Next, showing a cactus plant as a hint, is Baja mode, which is the loudest setting that will likely earn you a ticket for excess noise used anywhere but off-road.

Next up is Quiet mode, which is obviously the quietest setting for comfort under all driving conditions. And then finally there is Sport more which adds a little noise for “spirited driving”.

Just as our roads are getting quieter with the advance of electric cars…

As a final note, a Bronco driver can choose Quiet start, which allows a schedule of exhaust modes in a time window from 1 to 24 hours.
