Regenerative Brake Warning Indicator

Regenerative Brakes

Brake force dist indicatorElectronically Controlled Brake WarningTo the far left is first Regenerative Brake Warning Indicator symbol. It is made from the combined Electronically Controlled Brake System Fault indicator and the Parking Brake and Brake Fluid Warning Indicator. The symbol next to it, with the exclamation point, may also be shown alone and also indicates a problem with the system.

  • Otherwise return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

This pair of warning lights will be seen together  when the regenerative brake does not operate and the brake does not perform well. This causes the Brake Warning light (red) and Regenerative Brake Warning Light (yellow/amber) to illuminate. These colors are opposite what is shown above.

Regenerative braking limitedThis version may be seen and is a Limited Regenerative Braking indicator. It is not a fault indicator but is actually a function of the battery’s state of charge. If the battery is full, regenerative braking must be limited as there is no storage available for additional electrons. The symbol starts with the traditional symbol — although the brakes themselves are not involved: the circle inside brackets with the addition of a lightning bolt.
