Meaning of warning lights on the dashboard

British rescue company Britannia has compiled 64 most common warning light symbols on car dashboards. Of these, only 12 light symbols are frequently found on all car models.

The number of warning signs is increasing in new car models, notably the Mercedes E class with 41/64 warning lights and some other familiar car models in Vietnam such as Toyota Yaris and Audi A3 28/64, Ford Fiesta 25/64 and BMW Series 3 with 21/64.

Britannia surveyed 2,018 drivers in the UK and the results were surprising. 98% of drivers asked could not understand all 64 symbols, more than half (52%) could only understand 16 of the 64 correctly. A quarter of them had at least one or more warning symbols flashing while driving that they had no idea what was happening, most commonly warnings related to the engine light, battery or oil warning. Almost half (48%) of drivers asked did not even recognize the brake warning light and more than a third (35%) could not understand the airbag warning, of which 27% mistook it for a seatbelt warning.

Cars in Vietnam currently have an average of 9-12 common symbols of warning lights on the dashboard. Readers can refer to the table below for all symbols on the dashboard.
