Consumer Description
The Lyriq, as well as all current GM vehicles, use an icon on their instrument panel for indicating headlights are on that is incorrect. They use the symbol for parking lights rather than the symbol for low beam headlights on their instrument panel display. This is especially confusing because their own digital menu to turn on lights correctly shows the low beam headlights symbol for headlights, and the parking lights symbol for parking lights. However, turning on low beam headlights shows a parking lights indicator in the dashboard, and turning on the parking lights shows no indicator in the dashboard. It's my belief that, to help ensure no driver misunderstands what the symbols are indicating, that GM should have all vehicles properly use the low beam symbol for a dashboard indicator to show headlights, just like other vehicles use, rather than the parking lights indicator which is incorrect (both inconsistent with US convention, (as well as inconsistent with their own menu in the Lyriq specifically) to turn these lights on.
