G.O.A.T. Mode
These are a first set of G.O.A.T. Mode Indicator symbols. They belong to the updated 2024 Ford Bronco models. The second set below belong to the Raptor version. Between them are 14 separate images for 16 possible modes! Twelve of the symbols are brand new. The Bronco Sport model does not share the G.O.A.T. system.
- Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, read on below.
- Otherwise, you can return to our main Pictographic Symbols page and scan again!
G.O.A.T. means Goes Over Any-type of Terrain. The system offers alterations to steering, traction control, stability control, chassis controls, powertrain response, transmission shift points, four-wheel driveline, exhaust noise level and suspension dampening.
In order left to right they are Baja, Sand, ECO, Mud/Ruts, Normal, Rock/Crawl, Slippery, Sport, and Tow/Haul modes.
This second set are additional versions assigned to the Raptor model include left to right Normal, Off Road, Rock/Crawl, Slippery, and Tow/Haul.
The last one seems completely unnecessary as the image differences are completely meaningless. Both are boxes on wheels…
Finally we have this, which a My Mode Indicator. A driver can choose from the list above, add steering, exhaust and suspension options, which can then be saved for easy recall. A double press of the steering wheel button activates the saved mode.
The more detailed explanations of each mode below apply to both the standard and Raptor models.
- Baja Mode optimizes the throttle control for better response and torque delivery for high speed off-road driving.
- Sand Mode is for off-road driving on soft, dry sand or deep snow and may help get your vehicle unstuck.
- ECO mode helps deliver maximum fuel efficiency and helps to increase driving range.
- Mud/Ruts Mode enhances performance in muddy, rutted or uneven terrains.
- Normal Mode is everyday driving and is the default mode at start up.
- Rock Crawl Mode is for off-road driving and optimum rock-climbing ability, optimizing throttle and transmission response for additional control.
- Slippery Mode is for crossing terrain where a firm surface is covered with loose or slippery material, such as snow or ice.
- Sport Mode is for driving with improved performance handling and response.
- Tow/Haul Mode improves transmission operation when towing a trailer or a heavy load.
Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for far more detailed information.
And if you are seeing one of these symbols unexpectedly, the system has likely been activated accidentally. Restart the vehicle to return to its default mode.

The redesigned 2024 Ford Bronco and Bronco Raptor edition brings with it what Ford calls 
These are Stabilizer Bar Disconnect indicators. Stabilizer bar disconnect is a feature that allows the front stabilizer bar to be disconnected automatically for off-road use. This allows for increased front wheel articulation to improve capability and comfort on off-road terrain.
Alfa Romeo dashboard symbols
Alfa Romeo added a new E-Boost system that required three brand new lights (right). E-Boost is a belt-driven 48V hybrid system. This system helps in stop-and-go (see this link) situations and translates to improvements for the official city fuel economy. Seen in white, the E-Boost system is unavailable. Seen in gray it is available and in green, it is engaged.
These are Exhaust Mode Indicator symbols. They are an exclusive from Ford and found in new Bronco Raptor models as part of the vehicle’s 
Buick dashboard symbols
The Cadillac dashboard symbols page is now color aligned
Our Cadillac dashboard symbols page has now been re-ordered into the new color alignment. This makes 27 pages transformed to reflect the new color ordering, including our primary pictographic symbols page. We have now well passed the half way mark to re-ordering all our manufacturer symbols pages. There are 49 on the site.
We updated the page in May, and added nearly a dozen new symbols and indicators. As has been the case of late, the majority of of additions were drive modes.
Other than Dry Mode, the modes help to keep the wheels from spinning in slippery conditions, so maybe there’s some merit to their use.
The symbols page is now ordered first by red symbols, then to yellow/orange/amber (depending on how you interpret the color!), then to green and blue and finally to black and white or gray scale symbols.
Ordering the page by color provides a cleaner, simpler option for drivers searching for information on a new symbol.
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.
Our page covering Cadillac indicators, with over 50, can be seen here.
