Symbol update increase the auto dimming indicators to 14
Auto dimming indicators
The Auto Dimming indicators page on our website now holds 14 different symbols. We added another malfunction indicator to what is formally known as the Automatic Headlight Dimmer and Malfunction Symbols page, which now has no less than three malfunction versions.
The addition came via our recent Mazda update. Their version is the first one on the right. There was no particular reason that one of the other two could not have been used.
In our opinion, adding yet another image for drivers to interpret was completely unnecessary. One of the other two illustrations could easily have been used. And we’ll keep saying it: the more symbols that are created the more useless the entire warning light system becomes.
On the plus side, Mazda at least does not use a different name for the technology!
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.
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.
Automatic Headlight Dimmer and Malfunction Symbols page is here. Its an interesting set of variations.
