DRIVING ENVIRONMENT
OVERVIEW OF INSTRUMENTS
Tell-Tales
A tell-tale is a display that indicates the
actuation of a device, a correct or
defective condition, or a failure to
function. The operator should become
familiar with these symbols in order to
recognize and react (if necessary) to the
indicated condition. Tell-tale symbols are
shown in the
instrument panel cluster.
Colors
To promote visual recognition
internationally, specic colors for tell-
tales have been established. Unless
governmental regulations (in the area
where the vehicle is to be used) or
engineering directives specify otherwise,
the standard colors are:
• Steady Blue — high-beam
headlights
• Flashing Green — turn signals
• Flashing Red — hazard condition
involving the safety of personnel
• Steady Green — system in operation
• Steady Red — warning, immediate
action required
• Amber — early warning, such as low
fuel or Anti-Lock Brake System
