How They Are Presented
They are ordered primarily by color and roughly by importance. First up are red, followed by yellow/amber/orange symbols (depending on how you see the color!), then blue and green symbols and finally white and gray scale symbols. But there are more than 90 of them so be patient!

Our Dodge dashboard symbols page has now been color aligned
Dodge dashboard symbols
Our 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.
Our page covering Dodge indicators, now with over 90, can be seen here.
