Can anyone tell me what the symbol is that is indicated in the attached photo. It comes up each time an instruction is given as I approach a junction.nav symbol.jpg

Its simply letting you know that if you push the button just to the side of the speedo module (button that looks like a pile of credit cards) it will dismiss whatever notification is on the screen at the time.
 
It wouldn't be a mystery if you'd read the manual...

There could be many other functions of the car that you're not aware of, some that might benefit your driving experience, some of which may aid the safety of you, your passengers and other road users. That's why the manufacturers go to the trouble of writing it.
 
I had been through the manual a few times before I asked on here as I thought someone might say that. Thanks for being so helpful.

Trouble is, how do you search for something you don’t know the name of? The manual is around 400 pages!

Mitsubishi has different names for some of the feature (I think parking sensors are called sonar for instance)
 
Thanks Moonlander. I was going mad trying to find that! There is so much to learn about what this car can do.

I might not have been helpful, but I wasn't wrong was I?

The pdf manual is worth having on a pc as the search function is useful, but as said above, it's hard to search for something when you don't know what it is.

I think you're missing the point here littlescrote. Markd75 already said he'd looked through the manual and posted here afterwards. You could've easily said what you said originally and still helped him at the same time, but you didn't. I joined this site to find info on my car and to help others if possible.

I get the point. I also get that when he says he looked through the manual several times, he must have just bloke looked rather than properly read it because we all know it's in there.

I'm also here to learn and to help people, but sometimes helping people involves encouraging them to learn to fish, not just throwing a fish at them as they haven't bothered to put any bait on their hook.

You have absolutely no idea about the OP's situation, his mental state, his level of education or even his first language. Is he prone to depression or suicidal thoughts? How does he react to criticism? You have absolutely no idea, but you decide that you know better than him what's best for him. How condescending of you!

BTW, I'm being ironic
 
Anyone who adopts the handle "littlescrote" is unlikely to "suffer fools gladly" - a quality that regularly gets me into trouble at work and elsewhere :lol:

I'll leave it to the non-Brits to google what we are on about :roll:

Ironic - ok, unnecessary - definitely

Wow, so you're really on here to be correct and to be passively aggressive. I'm having the same issue and have also looked through the manual multiple times (as I have a family, full-time job, & life I didn't read every word/page, never have and driven all my vehicles just fine plus never an accident). Please do tell where in the manual it shows this symbol? Also, your said resolution doesn't work. All you're saying is how to scroll through the information displayed on dash, not how to remove it or even what it means, which is what is being asked. Fish much? I agree with Moonlander. You're just an angry little man trying to make yourself feel better by putting others down, how's that working out for you? In your real life not just hiding behind a keyboard!

Not sure where you are from but as I recall littlescrote is from Basildon and as a Canvey boy myself, I'm afraid I'm on his side on this one! 🤣
 
I'm still trying to figure out why people figure that since they pay for an internet subscription they are entitled to come to forums and demand "service" in a manner respecting their beliefs from "just plain folk" trying to help.
