Dodge dashboard symbols
Dodge dashboard symbolsOur Dodge dashboard symbols page has now been re-ordered into the new color alignment. The page was updated in August and this makes 24 pages transformed to reflect the new color ordering, including our primary pictographic symbols page. We are now one short of half way to our total manufacturer symbols pages (49) transformed on the site.
At the time of the August update, we added an astounding 44 new symbols to the page! And Dodge makes only four models: the Hornet, Charger, Challenger and Durango!
Primarily, we found the addition of a whole lot of technology, including new hybrid technology in the Hornet. The giveaway are these three lights (right) related to the use of a 48 volt hybrid battery. The lights are part of what Alfa Romeo call E-Boost and what Dodge calls PowerShot! The symbols are very, very unique. Alfa Romeo and Dodge are both are in the Stellantis family.
E-Boost and PowerShot are belt-driven 48V hybrid systems. This system helps in stop-and-go situations and translates to improvements for the official city fuel economy. Seen in white, the system is unavailable. Seen in gray it is available and in green, it is engaged.
The symbols page is now ordered red through 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.

Tonale back up start
Push button or keyless start cars and trucks need a location to touch or drop the key fob in the event the battery in the fob becomes depleted. This can happen as quickly as eight months, depending on use.
Since the introduction of the Giulia and Stelvio models, the only thing a driver of a keyless start Alfa Romeo had to do if their key fob died was to drop the fob in the bottom of the center console (right), a spot clearly marked by the outline of the fob itself. Time will tell if the new method in the Tonale will spread to additional models, old or new.
Alfa Romeo dashboard symbols page gets the new color alignment
Our Alfa Romeo dashboard symbols page has now been re-ordered into the new color alignment. This makes 26 pages transformed to reflect the new color ordering, including our primary pictographic symbols page. We have slowly moving past the half way mark to re-ordering all our manufacturer symbols pages. There are 49 on the site.
This is another page that we updated in August adding almost a dozen new symbols in the process. The addition of a hybrid system in the 2024 Tonale was the primary cause of the increase.
The indicators are seen as a lightning bolt in a cloud-like circle. As noted, the colors alert the driver to the status of the E-Boost system.
Page Alignment
As to the page alignment, the symbols page is now ordered first by red symbols, then to red with yellow/amber/orange option indicators, through 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.
