What is this slanted green indicator on the Hybrid?

[Tim Howard]

I can not find anything in the manual to tell what this indicator means. It starts out non-illuminated, sometimes turns green, and sometimes turns red for a fraction of a second. Sorry, if I missed it in the manual, but I have looked multiple times.

Lane centering

 

[TedTX]

Your truck is currently or will shortly be caught up in a green beam of light from a hovering overhead UFO. So either its lane centering like the last post or some alien abduction about to take place.

In which case either can be averted by depressing the button on the end of the turn signal stalk.
Another one that can be confusing is the jellyfish launcher, which also serves as the cargo bed illuminator.

Will this require probing?

Yeah, that's co-pilot 360's lane keep assist. When it's white it means it's on a road where it can't detect the lanes and is inactive. When it's green, it means it's on, working, and you're good. If you drift towards the edge of a lane, it turns yellow -- and if you cross into another lane, it turns red.

You should probably steer back to the left quickly rather than posting online...

Also note that turning on the signal to change lanes switches it to white immediately, so that it doesn't vibrate/try to correct you when changing lanes.

(This is definitely a 'Break Glass in Case of Emergency' option)

If you find yourself enveloped in a green beam of light emanating from a UFO hovering above you, quickly play Slim Whitman's "Indian Love Call" at Volume 11 with all 4 windows rolled down (5, if you have an toggle switch for the rear slider, 6 if you have a moon roof).

I know many of you have a USB thumb drive with only this song copied to it, anticipating this specific alien interaction.

You can power-wash and clean up the green spatter/splatter at a time when it's convenient.

Apologies to those that really, really enjoyed 'Mars Attacks' and for the gratuitous 'Spinal Tap' reference.

Back to the day...

Yes, at least for half of the 2023 Hybrid orders.

As others have said, it's part of the Copilot 360 option for warning when going out of your lane. Road has to have lines(stipes) on lane for it to work and may be speed related also but not sure. Turns off/on by switch on end of turn signal stem. Steering wheel should shake slightly when crossing the line and indicator should turn red. Using the turn signal before changing lane will cause it to not activate (shake the wheel).

That's the "George Jones" indicator - telling you you've got too much swerve on

 

[TedTX]

Definitely going to get the power moon roof next time I order A maverick. Got yet another reason to see straight up…
Got a spare empty flash drive going to find that music and have it ready.
