2024 Jazz advance Sport. Can anyone tell me what this symbol means? I've searched the manual and can't find it.
Thanks

This is Honda's rather obscure way to tell you that pressing the selection wheel on steering wheel's left hand's key set would do something (in this case probably reset the "A" counter).
Please check in the "Customizable features" of the driver information display if the setting for the "Warning message" is still in it's default "off" setting and turn it to "on".
This will give you a helpful clear text message along with the icon (I still cannot understand why Honda chose to default this setting to "off"!) - (where's the bang-head-against-wall-icon on this forum?)

Yes it’s the little wheel on the left of steering wheel sign
The wheel does different things on different screens and on the screen you show the wheel toggles between Trip A/B and pressing the wheel will reset either Trip

You need to set the warning display to show the icon and text
It's in the manual

Didn’t know you could. How do you set it to show text in addition to the symbol?

This was answered earlier. Thanks
-
I also don't understand why the default is off
-
Thanks for the responses, it is indeed a 'little' cryptic and I'll explore the warning display option :D

Since reading this topic I have switched mine to on position
I noticed a on/off position for integrate wipers with headlights
anyone got any views on best setting for this?

I think it is a clever thing:
As long as you keep your wipers in the auto position the headlights will turn on automatically even in daytime once they start wiping regularly.
This greatly increases the car's visibility in the rain especially from behind!

Years ago other drivers in the UK would assume you left headlights on by mistake and might flash you.
And I though countries that required head lights even in good daylight was ridiculous overkill.
But having now driven in such countries its quite noticeable how much less conspicuous the occasional car with no lights can be. Especially if its also an inconspicuous colour.
Your eyes and brain adjust to some extent to poor light, but not always as well as you think. Look at how much cameras adjust their metering for changes in light you might not even notice.
I agree if the car puts on the headlights automatically when I might not have done so , due to wiper setting or its light intensity meter, its a good thing. (Unless I were up to no good in the dark and wished to remain undetected. ;D )
You might think 'If you cant see that car ,even without lights , you shouldn't be driving' . But every little bit helps.

I agree with LV, did a 40 mile round trip on the M69 Coventry to Leicester and the sheer number of idiots driving in the the rain with lots of spray around with no lights on was sheer stupidity, worst of all most were large black or dark coloured SUV’s, most were relatively new so probably had auto lights and wipers but chose not to use them, mine are always set to auto for safety and peace of mind. ;D :o

Some drivers only use lights to see, not to be seen

Mine too, but I have noticed a problem in such particular cases. If you drive in the fog when there's daylight, auto lights doesn't switch on the lights. It is very dangerous, if you don't realize it and don't switch on manually.
Have you ever noticed such behavior?

Yes, unfortunately this is the normal behaviour as the light sensors seem to only work by brightness not visibility!
The Jazz's camera seems to have a sort of a limited visibilty check as I've already seen warnings about some of the assistant systems like cruise control unable to function due to bad visibilty.
But this so far only happend to me while driving in the dark in heavy snowfall or when entering an unlit parking garage.
It also gives a warning if the camera area is very dirty.
You would think having a camera running all the time it would be possible for the system to detect fog as well.
Alas, as you have pointed out it doesn't and we have to manually switch the lights on.

[If you drive in the fog when there's daylight, auto lights doesn't switch on the lights. It is very dangerous, if you don't realize it and don't switch on manually.

Yes, this happens in the Mk3 as well, I think I've commented on it previously.
I once saw a Mk3 being driven in fog where the driver had obviously realised this and had turned his lights on manually. Unfortunately he'd only turned the stalk one click, which had turned on only the dim sidelights and extinguished the bright DRLs. Result was he was much less visible from the front , although at least his taillights were on.

Interesting. I believe wiper rain sensors project infrared onto the windscreen screen glass.The short distance is expected. If there is no rain most is reflected back and read by a detector . If there are rain drops on the glass the beam is disrupted to a lesser or greater extent.
I am not 100% sure but I believe some of the other camera based driver aids will be projecting beams through the glass and reflecting back from distant targets such as white lines, solid objects etc. If the windscreen is dirty or has heavy condensation etc the beam is interrupted much too soon y and will register as an anomaly . The systems will be considered unreliable and shut down.
Also I think the computer switches on headlights without reference to sensors if the wipers are running at speed for a certain length of time. It assumes lights will be needed in these circumstances.
Plus there is a light intensity sensor.
If I am right about the above I can imagine that fog would be quite difficult to detect . It wouldnt disrupt beams and detectors enough to be reliable. Light intensity is not necessarily reduced. Just my theories and I may be repeating what has already been said. Feel free to disagree :D
