Tell-tale (automotive)

A tell-tale (or idiot light, especially in North America〔(Idiot light at the Merriam Webster dictionary )〕) is an indicator of the status or malfunction of a system within a motor vehicle. A tell-tale consists of a light bulb or an LED which lights up a symbol or text legend. The "idiot light" terminology arises from popular frustration with automakers' use of tell-tales for crucial functions which could previously be monitored by gauges, so a troublesome condition could be detected and corrected early. Such early detection of problems with, for example, engine temperature or oil pressure or charging system operation is not possible via a tell-tale, which usually illuminates only once a fault has already occurred – thus providing no advance warnings or details of the malfunction's extent. The Hudson automobile company was the first to use lights instead of gauges for oil pressure and the voltmeter, starting in the mid-1930s.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=0uMDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA150&dq=idiot+lights&hl=en&sa=X&ei=BC4LT9LLLIWFiAK_u_zRCQ&ved=0CFEQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=idiot%20lights&f=false〕〔http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Hudson/1933_Hudson/1933_Hudson_Super-Six_Owners_Manual/1933%20Hudson%20Super-Six%20Manual-08.html〕
==Regulation==
Automotive tell-tales are regulated by automobile safety standards worldwide. In the United States, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101 includes tell-tales in its specifications for vehicle controls and displays.〔(Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 101 )〕 In Canada, the analogous Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 101 applies.〔(Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 101 )〕 In Europe and throughout most of the rest of the world, ECE Regulations specify various types of tell-tales.
