Isn’t it great how cars just have like random lights that come on whose design is so ambiguous that there’s no possible chance you could work out what they’re trying to indicate.
My car occasionally displays a blue tick, what the hell is that supposed to mean? It only comes up maybe once every 4 or 5 months so it’s really hard to work out a pattern.

I got the same issue with my BMW, except it’s a green arrow pointing either left or right that flashes and makes a ticking sound. Only lasts for a few seconds though.
I just got a used Cadillac and it has this little blue icon quite frequently. Had to get out the manual. It means I’m driving over the speed limit. Fuck’s sake what a useless light.
No you dont get it, its bad design if you have to read. Also why are there 3847436189347 different lamps that indicate something now? Thats bad design. Oh why do i not know what the single error lamp means and what exactly is broken?bad design…
It’s called user experience. It’s like a whole discipline.
It’s a car it’s centuries old technology I shouldn’t have to read the manual to know what it’s complaining about. It has a big infotainment screen it could put the error in English on there, but no.
My ten year old Subaru has a small screen that says what the light is. Unfortunately that doesn’t always help: recently the “spend $1,400” light came on but the screen claimed it was “passenger airbag sensor”
That doesn’t sound like it would be best aligned with shareholders’ interests, mister! We have a dealer network and a vast web of suppliers and channel partners that those dumb lights can lead our consumers to.

Oh that sounds like the swerve suddenly into another lane without looking light.
