What it means
This warning indicates that one or more driver assistance features are unavailable, disabled, or reporting a fault. Amber commonly signals a limitation that needs checking, but the affected feature, colour, and exact behaviour vary by manufacturer; check the owner’s manual.
What the symbol looks like: A vehicle between lane lines or beside a road symbol, often accompanied by a warning triangle or the word “OFF.”
Why it comes on
- A camera or radar sensor is dirty, blocked, or iced over.
- Poor visibility, heavy rain, or other conditions limit sensor operation.
- A driver assistance feature has been switched off or is temporarily unavailable.
- A sensor, wiring, or control system fault.
What to do
- Read the dashboard message to identify which assistance feature is affected.
- Drive using your own observation and control; do not rely on the unavailable feature.
- When safe, check and gently clear the relevant camera or radar sensor area.
- If the warning persists in suitable conditions, consult the owner’s manual and arrange an inspection.
Can I keep driving?
You can generally continue cautiously if the vehicle handles and brakes normally, but affected assistance features may not work. Stay alert and avoid relying on them to steer, brake, or maintain distance.
Symbols and colours differ between makes and models. Your owner’s manual shows the exact lights of your car.
