Side Collision Warning
These are Intersection or Side Collision Warning Indicator symbols. They warn of a possible collision from the side. The images are all of a vehicle seen fully from the side and are always shown in red.
- Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, read on below.
- Otherwise, you can return to our main Manufacturer Symbols pages and scan again!
Oddly, the first image is of the right side of a vehicle and warns of a possible collision from the left. And conversely the second indicator is of the left side of a vehicle and warns of a collision from the right! This essentially means that the image shown is that of the vehicle approaching.
The third image is intended to indicate a possible collision from either side and comes courtesy of a separate manufacturer. Manufacturers may and often do choose to use a symbol that is shaped like the vehicle it is seen in.
You can find many indicators from related systems, like the one shown, here.
