BETTER PARTSWhat does a turtle's warning light mean? And that of a deer?
Do you have to be careful that a cunning turtle cheats to win a match?
No, this icon does not indicate that there is a turtle trying to cunningly win a race and teach the youth a lesson of dubious moral nature. You do have a chance of being the winner. In any case, you should not be in a hurry if you see the turtle warning light.
The warning light on the turtle's dashboard means the car is in so-called crawl mode. This happens, for example, if you have discharged the battery of an EV too far. As a last resort, the on-board computer limits the speed of the car in the hope that you will just make it to a charging station.
The icon of the deer
You will not see this warning very quickly in the Netherlands, but it is possible. There are modern cars that not only warn of crossing pedestrians, but also of crossing wildlife. The idea is that the sensor has already seen the animal before you notice it. In some more luxurious cars you even get to see an infrared image of it.
Speaking of night vision; You can see by the green icon above whether your night vision is activated. The car often shows the image from the infrared camera on the screen behind the steering wheel. Always a little Blair Witch on the go.
