Symbol in information display. What does it mean?
Hi all.

I am currently driving a 2007 GL, and I have a symbol in the information display which I cannot figure out:

Symbol in information display. What does it mean?-gl_symbol.jpg

Anyone know what this is about?

All help appreciated :-)

Regards,
Tommy.

Looks like a description right above the sign, i think it tells that right lamp is out.

Ok. Thanks.
So it is not linked i.e. Distronic? The symbols looks somewhat the same?

The OUTLINED symbol is Distronic. It is telling you that you have "distance control warning" turned on. If the car thinks you're closing in too close on the car in front of you the car will beep to warn you to stop/ avoid the obstacle.

The fact that you have a lamp out is merely information on the above display and not related to this symbol.

If you do close in on a car too fast the car will beep and a red version of this symbol will light up/ flash for a moment in the middle of your speedometer.

Glad I could help! Don't see too many GLs with Distronic.
