White and gray-scale Dashboard Symbols

White and gray-scale Dashboard Symbols or Indicator Lights

If you are seeing for a black and white or gray scale dashboard symbol on your instrument panel, this is a good place to start. We’ve gathered all these indicators used by all the various vehicle systems.

The proliferation of message screens as well as driver assistance systems has prompted the proliferation of dozens of images in these basically colorless representations. They will often be accompanied by text messages in the screen, so do look for that. Also, these images often simply means that a system is on and waiting for an opportunity to activate.

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

— Also, we always recommend that you search your Manufacturer, listed alphabetically here.

Is your warning light not in white or gray-scale?
