Brake Override

These are Brake Override System Indicator symbols. If a buzzer is not heard, the brake override system is operating. It turned off by releasing the accelerator pedal and stepping on the brake pedal. It appears as a foot or shoe on a brake pedal next to an accelerator, all with an arrow above them. 

• Before moving on, are you sure this is your symbol??
• If not, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

However, in truth, the indicators covers a multitude of systems found in some Toyota and Mazda vehicles. It also may represent the Drive-Start Control system or the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system. If a buzzer is heard, one of the following has occurred:

• the Brake Override System has malfunctioned;
• the Drive-Start Control is operating;
• the Drive-Start Control has malfunctioned; or
• the Intelligent Clearance Sonar is operating.

Fortunately, there will be instructions to follow shown on on the multi-information display.
