Tow Bar Not Locked
These are Tow Bar Not Locked Indicator symbols. If equipped, the indicator will be seen if a towed vehicle is not properly connected to the tow bar. The symbols are seen as a hooked rod or bar with a ball shape at the high end, one adding a padlock, and one showing the back of a vehicle with the ball sticking out and an exclamation point, all but one in yellow/amber/orange.
- Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
- Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!
The only remedy is to check the tow bar connection and correct a disconnect. Otherwise, an electrical problem is indicated.
