Rivian Symbols
We have now added a Rivian symbols page covering the R1T pick up and the R1S SUV models. We had to modify system fault, auto braking, and hood and tailgate ajar indicators to look like the company’s models. However, while the rest of the warning lights and indicators are old standards, there is a new set that stand out.
We had to add a whole new set of charge indicators (left) to our High Voltage Battery Charge Indicators page. They are a simple elongated oval with a small amount of fill.
In yellow/amber/orange, the light warns that the charge is low. The next light, in red and with less fill, warns that the charge is very low. The final light, also in red, adds an exclamation point to pretty much tell its driver he’s out of “gas”.
Why an already existing set of indicators wasn’t used we’ll never know…
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.
