We have finished the update to our Suzuki dashboard symbols page, adding 24 new indicators

Suzuki dashboard symbols

A completed Suzuki dashboard symbols page update added 24 new symbols and indicators, 11 of which are new to our rolls.

Suzuki no longer sells automobiles in the North American market, but the page is popular on our site. We found an Australian site with owner’s manuals we could peruse.

Most of the additions are minor variations of existing symbols. Nevertheless they need to be accounted. For instance, there are three new rear seat belt reminders in black and white. Two of the symbols are found in a small area above the rear view mirror in models sold in Hong Kong and Macao (far right).

Others include a new 4 wheel drive fault indicator (far right) and three new steering assist indicator versions. The hands on the steering wheel go from white to green to red. Red hands are a warning that the systems is unavailable and requires driver control. White is a standby mode while green indicates the system is operating properly.

Finally there is a confusing S-mode indicator. Its a drive choice available that when used and driving on hilly, winding roads and allows for smoother driving with less frequent gear changing. Or when going down a steep hill some additional engine braking is added. There is no indication what the S actually stands for.

We’ll keep repeating it: the more symbols that are created the more useless the entire indicator light system becomes. With nearly a dozen brand new entries, Suzuki could have done better.

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.
