View Full Version : What do the signs mean?
The other day, I sent my car to the workshop for repair . After collecting it and driving back, i noticed a sign lighting up at the dashboard.
But i have no idea what the sign means. :confused: It looks like a cage of some sort. Where could i refer this problem to? Is there an online car manual that you know of?

Astral 10-04-2005, 11:12 PM Does this RX-8 quick tips PDF (http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/pdf/quicktips/2005MazdaRX8QT.pdf) answer your questions? (see bottom of 4th page, "warning lights" section) Which one of those matches?

No, no, no, that's the Greek Temple icon. When that lights up, it means there's a problem with the Parthenon in your engine.

You better put some saginaki (Greek flaming cheese - good stuff, too) in your oil reservoir. :D

pcimino 10-05-2005, 07:12 AM :rolleyes: OH, you're supposed to READ the manual? I always put it behind the tire to keep the car from rolling on an incline.

No that's not it at all!!!
Its a upcoming prison sentence symbol. This means that you better not speed unless you want your car impounded and you end up in jail.
:p
Frostee 10-05-2005, 09:28 AM k, now imma confused...

Tigster 10-05-2005, 10:05 AM I think your car is hungry and wants to go to a bar-bq looks like a spatula to me.

Or you can just check your manual as stated before. ;)

hahah, there was a thread all out the warning lights a while back...funny stuff.
speaking of the lights, anyone notice that the Euro gauge cluster has differnt lights than the US one. :confused:
including a SHIFT UP light and some of the other lights in differnt locations....any clue why they get the buzzer and a shift light, and we just get a buzzer? I guess it has to do with saving money, like the auto-climate control in other versions....although I would think it would save money to just make 1 version of the cluster not mulitple ones.

hahahaha!!! that comment just flashed me back to the exact moment in my life when I was literally KICKED OUT OF THE ACROPOLIS IN FRONT OF THE PARTHENON.. hahahahaha, that was actually a scary day but funny when I look back at it

One of your fuses burned out and you need to put a penny in the fusebox

rx-8_or_? 10-05-2005, 06:42 PM Now if the original poster would only tell us what sign he actually saw ...
jowettw 10-05-2005, 07:03 PM right after i read this thread, i hopped in the car to get back to class - and the same light went on for me ...
rx-8_or_? 10-05-2005, 08:13 PM Okay guys ... if the light in the pictures in this thread really did come on, please check your engine coolant level and top it up.
Then we can safely get back to the rest of this thread.
Damn! I didn't realize the Parthenon looks like a spatula!
Thanks for the info. Yes, that was the sign that came up........ By the way, I'm sticking with the cage. :D
