Dashboard icons have you down? At 6^th Avenue Honda in Stillwater, we appreciate icons. In fact, our admiration stretches farther than the putty you used to play with as a kid. Icons hold power, such as Freddy Mercury, Elton John, Tupac, and now more recently Ariana Grande. (Thank u, next.) Okay, okay, now time to be a little more serious. Glad we had a laugh. Here at 6^th Avenue Honda, we care about your safety and want you to have the knowledge of what to do if an unwanted icon pops up on your dash.  

Squishy Doofers:

This could be easily confused with popping a bottle of champagne. Spewing liquid flying in every direction sounds like a party to us! Or even Old Faithful letting one rip in Yellowstone. There are many ways squishy doofers can be interpreted, but for us here at 6^th Avenue Honda, this means your wiper fluid needs to be replaced. If you want to replace this, come on down to our state-of-the-art Honda Service Department in Stillwater, Oklahoma!

Drunk Robot:

6^th Avenue Honda in Stillwater, Oklahoma is a judgment-free zone. We care for you and want to get you the best deal possible on a new Honda, but sometimes you have to listen to the signs. People who are fun suckers will tell you this icon only means that it is time to change your battery. What do they know? This is also a reminder that it’s five o’clock somewhere. Have fun with your drunk robot icon, but be responsible by getting your battery checked at 6th Avenue Honda and taking an uber home.

Cyclone in Car:

This might be a trigger for some Oklahomans since we live in the notorious Tornado Alley.  We here 6^th Avenue Honda in Stillwater, Oklahoma know this means you are recirculating air inside your car, but to the untrained eye, you might think there’s a cyclone in your car! To avoid a cyclone in your car, do not drive your car between the months of March-May. Quit your job, don’t make any plans, and enjoy Hulu, Netflix, or daytime television.

Ghosts:

Stillwater, Oklahoma is a place of good spirits. Pistol Pete, Bullet, and the Cowboy Marching band. This doesn’t mean that spirits won’t haunt, however. Watch a horror movie or play the masterpiece Luigi’s mansion for further research on this topic. Best practice to be proactive in the event of a ghost attack is to go buy a portable vacuum so that you can capture any spirits when this icon comes on. This icon in your car also means defrost, but we all know the former is the true definition.

Owl:

The wise will align with this icon. Once the owl icon has made home on your dashboard, coexists with it. Make it feel at home. Do not fret. This is a sign that you are wise beyond your years. A know-it-all might say something silly like, “That’s a glow plug!” If they do, we suggest you give our Service Department a hoot! 6^th Avenue Honda in Stillwater, Oklahoma is the dealership of the wise. Come see us.

Stop Traveling with Beach Balls:

Spring break is coming up. 6^th Avenue Honda in Stillwater, Oklahoma is excited because being landlocked in Oklahoma makes us dream of sunny beaches with white sand and clear blue water. Packing your suitcase for a week of fun is encouraged. However, traveling with beach balls isn’t recommended. You could crash, lose vision of the road, and worse, if it deflated in your face, your eyes could dry out. This is a lose, lose situation.

All the Doors Are Open:

6^th Avenue Honda in Stillwater does not judge, other Honda dealers might, but we do not. If this icon appears, simply close your doors. Doors closed and the icon is still on? We don’t know what to tell you, maybe ask the ghosts that are haunting your car or come see us to get into a new Honda. The choice is yours.

TURBINE ACTIVATED:

This is the best icon you could ever hope to receive. This means that you are contributing to saving planet Earth by turning on your turbines. Wow, this is the type of people we love here at 6^th Avenue Honda. Come in and see us! We’d like to bet we are a match made from Turbine.com.

Face Wind, Knee Wind:

In Oklahoma, wind is with us the same way heat is with Florida, or like clouds are with Washington. If you see this icon, your car is telling you that you’re in Oklahoma and it’s probably a sign that you should come see us 6^th Avenue Honda in Stillwater if you’re in the surrounding areas such as Guthrie, Perry, Langston, Perkins, and others.  Let the knee and face wind guide you into a new or used car!

Triangles:

Triangles are an icon of their own. They need no introduction. If you see this icon, that must mean you’re an icon too. Embrace this moment. Do not shy away. You wanted the limelight, now it’s here.

ABS, Flex ‘em!

It’s the new year. You’ve been eating salads for lunch and drinking kale shakes for breakfast. Wow, you’re a guru now. If your car has the ABS icon pop up, this means it is noticing your hard work. The next step is to flex them. Do not be scared, machines do not lie. If you got it, you got it. Over at 6^th Avenue Honda we encourage you to go on with your bad self especially when your Anti-lock braking system is on to keep you from skidding all over the roads.

ESP- Española

Let’s face it, the more you know, the more desirable you are. The ESP icon on your car wants you to be as desirable as it sees you. Pick up a Spanish book, watch a Spanish movie with English subtitles and become the beacon of sophistication that we and your car know you are. Obviously, you’re a very stable person when you have your anti-skid Electronic Stability Program on.

We hope you found this dashboard icon list informative and not funny at all. This was the most serious post we’ve ever made here at 6^th Avenue Honda in Stillwater. We are so serious about getting you in a new Honda for the best deal. Don’t believe us? Come find out!
