Rear Window Defrost
This is a Rear Window Defrost Indicator symbol. Seen in yellow/amber, it appears when the rear window defroster is active as a reminder. In most cases, the defroster will turn itself off after a pre-set period of time.

It is seen in a warning color (yellow/amber) in case the defroster remains on too long, which can harm the system. The symbol will match the symbol found on the defroster switch.
