[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: nitrogen in tires--my son put nitrogen in mine 2 years ago. Rotating is the only thing that has had to be done since, and I live where the difference between winter and summer can top 140 degrees.

Questions: why are universal symbols so hard to figure out? I wondered what the movie camera symbol meant (not a camera, it's the engine!) and the temp symbol always looks to me like a tiny sailboat on the waves. The tire symbol looks like a cross between calipers and a horseshoe.

The engine light actually looks like a tiny little cartoon engine when viewed from the side. Which I guess also sorta resembles a movie camera, I guess. As for temp, it’s supposed to be a thermometer immersed in water (coolant) . But yeah, I guess is does sorta look like a little sailboat on waves. Maybe a bout with a flag on it, that’s even better. The tire pressure is the easy one. That’s the “&gt;” symbol (low) followed by a U looking sympbol (more of an Omega actually) that is supposed to represent the cross-sectional view of a tire. For this one, thought they should use an “O” shape, with a flattened bottom, but that’s just me. I guess it’s like seeing animals shapes in clouds. You miss it, but when someone points it out, you’re like “oh yeah, now I see it!”  Lastly, where the hell do you live where the temp is 140 degrees apart winter to summer? Because I wanna make sure I never accidentally go there! [/quote]
