Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Dashboard Symbols

Electric and hybrid dashboard symbolsSymbols Seen in EVs and Hybrids

A new set of Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Dashboard Symbols are the result of the changeover to electrification. For the most part, they tell a driver when a particular system is operating and/or in what mode. Remember that a flashing light likely indicates a problem that your dealer or authorized repair shop should address.

Note: If your symbol is primarily text (an acronym, etc.), it may not be included here. Click here for an alphabetical list.
