Windshield defrost

These are Windshield Defrost or Defog Indicator symbols. For reasons known only to Rivian, they have decided that a new set of indicators is needed in order to defrost a windshield and, further, that three different colors are required.

  • 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!

So, left to right, in red, the indicator is for a defrost condition. A blue indicator is used for a defog setting. Finally, a white indicator is used when the defrost or defog is off.

A truly useless addition.
