      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…

      All because people dont want to rtfm.

        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.
