The Rest of Our Story
Here 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 or a misbehaving push button-start car. Its all here on this website. Our first intention is to bring the latest technologies down to earth and understandable for everyday drivers, and now including electric vehicles (EVs).
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.
Drivers are frustrated, afraid and sometimes even angry at the growing number of these seemingly senseless symbols. Known as tell-tales in the industry, we are dedicated to keeping them sorted out for you.
And Smart Keys or Intelligent Keys, or Access Keys – or whatever the manufacturer of your chooses to call them – that let you into your car and start it with just a touch use up their internal batteries at alarming rates, catching busy drivers unawares – even though the car has been trying to warn you. With more symbols!
Our goal is to help you feel safe – and keep you moving or get you moving if at all possible – rather than leave you fretting whenever one of these warning lights shows up or your key fob stops working. The first-cut answers can be found on our pages as well as instructions for getting into and starting most keyless start cars – without roadside assistance.
Your car’s manufacturer and your dealer may expect you to memorize all this, but we don’t. We know you are busy and need a break!
We’ve covered models from Acura, Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Holden, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Jeep, Karma, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Oldsmobile, Opel, Polestar, Pontiac, Porsche, Ram, Saab, Saturn, Scion, Subaru, Suzuki, Tesla, Toyota, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, and Volvo. So, we have you covered!
We also recognize that nearly no one remembers a rarely-used piece of information until they have dealt with it multiple times.
And if you a dealer or dealer group, let us help you give your customers a customized back up plan. Contact us for details.
