symbol

A symbol is a mark, sign, or word that indicates, signifies, or is understood as representing an idea, object, or relationship. Symbols allow people to go beyond what is known or seen by creating linkages between otherwise very different concepts and experiences. All communication (and data processing) is achieved through the use of symbols. Symbols take the form of words, sounds, gestures, ideas, or visual images and are used to convey other ideas and beliefs. For example, a red octagon is a common symbol for "STOP"; on maps, blue lines often represent rivers; and a red rose often symbolizes love and compassion. Numerals are symbols for numbers; letters of an alphabet may be symbols for certain phonemes; and personal names are symbols representing individuals.
The academic study of symbols is semiotics. In cartography, an organized collection of symbols forms a legend for a map.

    Visual and audible Warning signs.

    Could anyone tell me please why I have got a steering wheel symbol flashing on the infotainment screen. This happened yesterday and there was a high pitched "chirping" what I can only think was some sort of warning. We only got the ZS Tommy last Wednesday bought brand new.

    What’s this symbol??

    Any idea what this symbol means? A orange border around the number ‘2’. I’m wondering if it means there are two gallons left in the tank, given how much fuel is remaining.

    Wheel symbol on driver’s display

    Hey guys! I’m new to the MG4, coming from the VW ID.3. I can’t find any info about this in the user manual so I thought I’d post a question here. What is the wheel symbol on the driver’s display that alternates between a grey and white color? I just can’t figure this out.
