Hybrid System Operation Dashboard Indicators

Hybrid System

eDrive preparation symbolDownhill ready indicatorThese symbols are Hybrid System Operation Indicators symbols. They will be seen in some hybrid vehicles when the navigation system is engaged in destination guidance. Hybrid operation is adapting  to specific route sections.

  • Before moving on, is one of these truly your symbol??
  • If not, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

The first, a checkered flag, indicates that electric driving is being prepared for a specific area about to be encountered. The second, a downhill grade and percent sign in a triangle, indicates that the system is ready to charge the battery while moving downhill.

The symbols will be seen in the energy flow display, and again indicates that a particular driving situation has been detected ahead and the hybrid system is preparing for it. Use of the hybrid system is optional.

Integrated Motor Assist Indicator Symbol

Integrated Motor Assist

Integrated Motor AssistThis text symbol, IMA, stands for Integrated Motor Assist. It is associated with hybrid vehicles. The indicator normally comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is first switched on. There is nothing serviceable by the vehicle’s owner, so if the indicator comes on at any other time, you will need to see your dealer or qualified service center as soon as possible. The vehicle will not operate on the gas engine or the hybrid battery alone and IMA connects the two.

  • Before moving on, are you sure this is your symbol??
