The update to our Mitsubishi dashboard symbols page adds 14 new indicators

Mitsubishi dashboard symbols

The completed Mitsubishi dashboard symbols page update added a relatively small number of symbols, 14. Further, only five of them are actually new to our pages.

This compared to the 75 new entries added to the Ford page, 60 of them brand new. Given it took weeks to slog through the Ford update, working with Mitsubishi was a breeze.

We took issue only with the foolishly renamed regenerative braking, now called Innovative Pedal Operation in Mitsubishi models (right). The company also makes use of a classic parking brake on symbol to indicate an electric park brake failure (far right). This only serves to confuse drivers.

The company also added two unnecessary auto brake hold symbols (right) while they were already making use of pre-existing versions (far right) in older models.

We’ll keep saying it: the more symbols that are created the more useless the entire indicator light system becomes. However, Mitsubishi comes out pretty clean in our book.

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.
