Hybrid / EV system warning
Driver guidance · STOP — symbol color, meaning and urgency can differ by vehicle
What the symbol may mean
High-voltage drivetrain, traction battery, charging or power-management controls may have detected a fault.
What to do now
Follow manufacturer directions; stop safely if power is reduced, severe warning displayed, smoke or unusual heat is present. Never touch orange high-voltage components.
What a technician may check
Qualified high-voltage personnel should investigate; the symbol meaning varies by manufacturer.
Always follow the exact vehicle handbook; colored lamps and warning behavior vary across models. A serious vehicle fault should not be cleared or driven through without inspection.
