Ram symbols page update is complete

Ram Symbols

Our Ram symbols page update is finished. Despite there being only four basic models, the update added nearly 40 warning lights, symbols and indicators. The page now holds over 110 images.

Fortunately, of the additions, only nine were actually new to our collection. And those were generally simple rearrangements of existing symbols.

For instance a new hill descent symbol (far right) first and foremost replaces the vehicle in the image, but also makes an adjustment to the location and size of the dial shown above the vehicle (right). And we have several other similar images in our collection.

In addition, the adaptive cruise control symbol (again far right) is shown in black and white when the system is ready but not in use. This symbol already existed in green when active and yellow/amber/orange when a fault is detected (two right).

Frustratingly, the 1500 needed eight drive modes, all of which were simple text but most didn’t conform exactly to existing entries. Five of them needed to be created.

Regardless, as we keep repeating, it is still a frustration to have to add even just nine new symbols when there are already versions that could be used. We continue to encourage all manufacturers to recycle existing symbols and not add more burden to their drivers.

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 or abbreviation.

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.
