Forward collision avoidance fault indicators moved to new page

Collision avoidance

As we continue attempts to simplify the website, we have separated Forward Collision Avoidance Fault Indicators to a separate page. As best as possible.

We say as best as possible for two reasons. First, that most of these indicators feature an exclamation point (right). Most…

The end result here is that it isn’t always clear what the manufacturer’s intent actually is. Sometimes the inclusion of the word OFF takes on two meanings:

1. that the system is turned off and
2. the system is off because of a fault!

Further, the image at the top right is not a fault indicator. But the added message clearly is!

Which is the second reason we say as best as possible. As the pages develop going forward, we may find the need to work fault indicators back into the main page.

Ultimately, we want every page and every indicator we present to be as clear as possible to drivers in distress. Too many indicators on a single page are no help, hence our desire to clean things up.
