Chevrolet symbols page
Chevrolet symbols pageOur Chevrolet symbols page has now been aligned by color. We’ve have now transformed a dozen pages, including our primary symbols page, to reflect the new color ordering.
The page features a number approaching 100 indicators, now ordered red through black, white or gray scale. This generally provides a “mostly serious” to “simply letting you know” range. We used the term “mostly serious” for red indicators because many legacy red symbols do not point to a problem with the vehicle.
in any case, the new ordering provides a cleaner, simpler option for drivers searching for information.
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.

Acronyms page swells
Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS) is a part of Mazda’s i-ACTIVESENSE system. The system is already a renaming of Advanced Driver Assist Systems, while CTS is a low end self drive system utilizing the technology making up the i-ACTIVESENSE system. We’ve added its fault waring symbol to the right.
Mazda owner’s manuals
For instance, in the CX-90 manual, the EV Mode, Boost, and Charge Mode indicators are seen only in Chapter 5 (right). None of these can be considered part of normal operation and could easily be activated accidently. In this type of situation a driver needs an easy means of identifying a symbol, which has traditionally been done with a list of all symbols somewhere in the manual.
The other two new indicators are a Charge Mode indicator (right), used in a new hybrid model, and another that indicates that lane keeping is turned off (far right). In the latter case, Mazda chose to adds an arrow in the direction of travel and a star to suggest a collision to an existing symbol. It also removes a lane line.
This is a Boost Indicator 
The added symbol brings to four the number of symbols used for the system simply being turned off. Each has the word off in it, one is purely an acronym for the system, three use a car or two cars as well as stars to suggest a crash, while Mazda adds an arrow for the direction of travel (far right).
Holden symbols page gets the new color treatment
Our Holden symbols page has now been aligned by color. We’ve have now transformed several pages, including our primary symbols page, to reflect a color ordering.
As a testament to the growth of technology and the accompanying indicators, the Holden holds just over 50 symbols. The majority of manufacturers have moved this number to near 100 and more.
Holden as a manufacturer has been defunct since the end of 2020. Nevertheless, we will keep the page for drivers of the cars who likely have few places to turn for help. We also have pages for Mercury, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn and Scion, all of whom have faded from the scene. We have a Fisker page as well, a company whose status remains in limbo…
The page’s indicators are now ordered red through white, which generally provides a “mostly serious” to “simply letting you know” range. We used the term “mostly serious” for red indicators because many of them do not point to problem with the vehicle.
Regardless, the new ordering provides a cleaner, simpler option for drivers searching for information.
