A dashboard item is a device or feature found on the dashboard of a vehicle. The most common dashboard items are an INDICATOR (9 letters), an ODOMETER (8 letters), a DIAL (4 letters), and a RADIO (5 letters). An INDICATOR is a light that signals when something needs attention, such as a low fuel warning. An ODOMETER measures the distance a vehicle has traveled. A DIAL is a knob or switch used to control a feature, such as the volume of the RADIO. Finally, a RADIO is a device used to listen to music or news broadcasts.
