Hyundai dashboard symbols update
Hyundai dashboard symbols updateFCEV, ESC, ISLA, N launch — these are all bits and pieces of the 11 new entries from our latest Hyundai dashboard symbols update. However, another stands out as a brand new self-driving technology.
First, we’ll explain the other additions already noted. FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) is an acronym now added to HEV (Hydrogen EV), both describing Hyundai‘s use of fuel cells. A new one was not needed.
ESC, or Electronic Stability Control is another way to say VSC or Vehicle Stability Control. Happily, Hyundai only uses the one.
ISLA is Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, an existing tech that Hyundai has just adopted.
N Launch belongs to Hyundai‘s N-line of Ionic EVs, which gives the cars a kick from a dead start. It sounds like fun — if you’re on a race track! But Lane Following Assist (LFA) is the one we want to highlight.
Lane Following
Lane FollowingLFA is a system helps detect lane markings and/or a vehicle ahead on the road, and helps center the vehicle in the lane. It is essentially a light duty self driving system that is a step above lane keeping and behind hands free driving. In fact, the driver gets a hands-off warning and if he or she still does not have their hands on the steering wheel lane following assist is automatically canceled.
In use, if the vehicle ahead and/or both lane markings are detected and the vehicle speed is below 120 mph (200 km/h), the green indicator light is seen. Gray indicates that the lane markings are not detected or the vehicle is above speed. It appears in white when the system is cancelled.
The Hyundai owners manual goes on for several pages describing how to set up and use the system. We wonder if anyone will bother…
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 Genesis dashboard symbols update adds 11 indicators, but none new
In the vast majority of cases, a symbols update involves literally making a half dozen brand new indicators. However, our Genesis dashboard symbols update was a simple matter of adding 11 pre-existing indicators to the table.
This is primarily because the new technology introduced in Genesis this year has also been added to the Hyundai line — and we made those images a few weeks ago!
The major addition is Lane Following Assistance (LFA) which helps detect lane markings and/or a vehicle ahead on the road, and helps center the vehicle in the lane. It is essentially a light duty self driving system that is a step above lane keeping and behind hands free driving. In fact, the driver gets a hands-off warning and if he or she still does not have their hands on the steering wheel lane following assist is automatically canceled.
The owners manual goes on for several pages describing how to set up and use the system. As with Hyundai, we wonder if anyone will bother…
