Pharmacist · 09-13-2009, 08:42 AM

There are 4 indicator lights in the dashboard that do not appear to be functional and are not mentioned in the user's manual. Anyone know what they do? And why are they in the car if they don't actually do anything? Here they are:

1. Inside the tachometer, there is what appears to be an indicator in the lower left side of the circle. Hard to say what it is but it looks kinda like smoke or something.

2. In the circle of indicator lights around the fuel/coolant temp cluster, on the lower right is what appears to be a car with some kind of hatch open. What is that? Does it have something to do with the convertible top operation?

3. Still in the same cluster, but this time near the top of the circle, just to the left of the indicator at the top of the circle, there is what appears to be another car with what appears to be a hood or rear hatch open.

4. Also in the same cluster, at the very bottom left end, is the word "snow". Is this supposed to be an indicator for some kind of snow mode or something?

None of these lights are operational, nor do they seem to be related to any function in the car. And I couldn't find any reference to them in the user manual.
