Default What is this warning indicator


Didn't see it on the trucks "owners manual". I was off roading in the snow and when digging sometimes it would come on. After you quit digging it would go off.

Looks to me like it is Pre-Collision Assist turned off. I found something similar on page 396 of my online manual.

Yep. That's it. Funny that it disables when it does. I was pretty much sitting still spinning.

I just went to the store and this very same indicator popped up on my screen. Unfortunately, with all the tech in these trucks, when cameras and sensors get covered with snow it causes all sorts of warnings. Just let me drive and leave me alone!

Honestly, I love the creature comforts and technology, but it is almost just as annoying as it is helpful!

Well I'm not sure which reason caused it. lol. The first time i saw it i stopped on a hill and went to 2wd just to see how bad traction control would kick in when it spun. I went into reverse knowing I'd be spinning. Traction control was pretty invasive. I turned off traction control and I was spinning pretty hard too when I saw the light. I was in reverse. Then later just playing in 2wd with the locker locked i was drifting and saw that light again.

It was snowing and nasty so cameras and sensors may have been covered. But the only time it was on was when I was spinning pretty hard

Mine said Front Camera Low Visibility and then the warning lamp came on. Probably because the cameras are used in the pre-collision avoidance.

Mine was going backwards once. I don't think sensors or cameras did it. Since it went off when I wasn't spinning
