Electric all-wheel drive
These are Electric All-Wheel Drive Indicator symbols. They are found in Electric Vehicles (EVs) made by General Motors. They being EVs became an excuse to add the word electric to the AWD or 4WD acronyms.
- 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!
The first light is seen in yellow/amber/orange when the electric four-wheel drive (e4WD) system is limited, and will turn off when the system is working normally. If this light is red, there is likely a malfunction.
But as with all electronic systems, restart the vehicle to see if the system resets.
