Anti-lock and regenerative braking condition indication

摘要

An instrument panel 36 is provided for a vehicle 10 that has an anti-lock braking system 20 and a regenerative braking system 14. If it is determined that an anomalous condition exists in either system 14,20, a first indicator 78' is illuminated in a first colour such as amber to alert the driver. If the anti-lock braking system 20 is active and there is no detected ABS anomaly, a second indicator 80' is illuminated in a second colour such as green. Control of the indicators 78',80' is typically in accordance with a hierarchical structure that gives priority to an anomalous condition in the anti-lock braking system 20.
