Front Lift System Dashboard Indicator

Front Lift

Front lift indicatorThis is a Front Lift System Indicator symbol. If equipped, this light will flash to indicate when the front of the vehicle is being raised or lowered. An up or down arrow in the indicator will also be displayed, depending on the direction of movement. Note that the light will then remain on while the front is fully raised.

  • If not, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

The system, powered by a two-position lift actuator, can hydraulically raise the front of vehicles that ride low to provide approximately 50 mm (2 in) of increased clearance. The Front Lift System allows the driver to lift the front of the vehicle to enter a driveway, clear curbs or speed bumps and to drive onto ramps or trailers.

Further, the front height can be raised automatically using the vehicle’s GPS navigation system. The vehicle can be programmed with up to 1,000 locations. Once the activation button is pushed, a notification appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and ask the driver if the location should be remembered.

The symbol appears as the drawing of the front of a car approaching a raised obstacle with an arrow shown pointing up or down.

Predictive Efficiency Assist Indicators

Predictive Efficiency

Predictive Efficiency AssistEfficiency assist exitEfficiency assist circleEfficiency assist intersectionThese symbols, which will appear in green, are Predictive Efficiency Assist Indicator symbols. The assistance system adds an automobile’s version of anticipation of the road ahead. The first symbol uses the image of a shoe or foot with an arrow below pointing upwards. It is again seen in green and indicates the system is active and in use.

  • Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, read on below.
  • Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

The second, with a line curving to the right, indicates that an exit is approaching. The third, shown as a circle in a circle broken by three entering lanes, means that a traffic circle is ahead. And last one shows that an intersection is upcoming. They are nearly self explanatory.

The system is intended to save fuel, using data from the navigation system, traffic signs, and even topography. The symbol is meant specifically to indicate that the driver should decelerate (remove his/her foot from the accelerator) because a lower speed is needed up ahead. The system is not active if Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged.

Similar Symbol

Shift Lock IndicatorIts important to distinguish the first symbol above from Shift Lock Indicator symbols that appear in yellow/amber. These will also feature a foot or shoe, but have no connection to any advanced fuel saving feature.

Recuperative or Regenerative Brake System Indicators

Regenerative Braking

Regenerative Braking IndicatorThese are the Recuperative or Regenerative Brake System (RBS) Indicator symbols. If this symbol is illuminated on your instrument panel, the RBS is malfunctioning. This type of system is found in Hybrid and electric vehicles and uses the function of slowing down to generate electricity for the main high voltage battery.

  • Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
  • Otherwise, you can return to our main Text Symbols page and scan again!

Regeneration iconRegeneration indicatorThe two additional version to the left are Regenerative Braking Icon Indicator symbols. they appear as a household battery with arrows circling it or circling inside it. The word ‘Regen’ appears below in one. A horizontal charge bar may appear as well. The symbol remains in gray scale until it is active, when the battery and arrows appear green.

These icons will also appear in gray scale when regenerative power is limited because the high voltage battery is near full charge or is cold.

Max regenerationMax regenerationThese also appear as household batteries, but as Max Regeneration indicators, they are meant to indicate that maximum regeneration capability has been engaged and operating. They will be accompanied by the following instrument cluster messages: Max Regeneration On when the feature is turned on, Max Regeneration Off when the feature is turned off, and Max Regeneration Unavailable when the feature is requested, disabled.

The indicator light will flash for five seconds. It appears in green on the instrument panel and in white in the message center.

Regenerative brake indicatorRegenerative brake indicator blueThese indicators come from another manufacturer, Kia, which uses arrows and the colors blue and white.  The number of arrows, 1, 2 or 3, indicates how much regeneration has been set: 1 is lowest, and we’ve chosen to show 3. In white, regeneration is not taking place. In blue, regeneration is occurring. The arrows appear in what looks like a battery box.

Regeneration boostThis is a Regeneration Boost Indicator symbol. It is seen when the driver chooses to increase the regeneration braking force. The result is that the vehicle will slow more quickly when the accelerator pedal is released. It appears as a foot on a pedal with an up and down arrow.

Deceleration stage indicatorSimilarly, Honda Motors Corp. offers the option the increase or decrease the rate of regeneration using a paddle on the steering wheel stalk. The result is the symbol to the left, a Deceleration Paddle Selector Indicator. Using the deceleration paddle selector, the driver can you sequentially shift through six stages of deceleration. The more larger V shapes are seen, the more deceleration is chosen. The M indicates that the choice has been locked in, suggesting the letter should be an L!

In the vast majority of electric and hybrid vehicles, the actual brake system is not involved. However, recuperative braking slows the vehicle and a malfunction of the system will require more use the vehicle’s brakes to come to a stop.

In vehicles where the brake system is involved,  braking performance may be affected and pedal travel may be lengthened. Any loss of brake performance presents an accident risk. Have your dealer or qualified repair shop address this as soon as possible.
