Color Coding in Vehicle Warning Symbols
Although the symbols and indicators themselves are important, the symbols are part of a color code system meant to help you understand the severity of the indicator you see.
- Any symbol appearing in Red indicates a potentially serious problem or safety issue and should be addressed as soon as possible—call our Taylor Automotive CDJR service center at 731.439.4033.
- A symbol that is Yellow or Orange means something will need to be serviced or repaired soon.
- A Green or Blue symbol is there to let you know the system is on and operating as normal.
- If any symbols appear and are also flashing, your vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible.
