which propel the vehicle forward can operate as genera-
tors when braking. The RBS recharges the high voltage
battery under certain braking conditions by recapturing
energy that would otherwise be lost while braking. The
electric power that is generated goes back into the high
voltage battery for later use, for example when accelera-
tion is desired.
The RBS uses conventional hydraulic friction brakes,
regenerative braking, or a combination to slow the ve-
hicle. If the system detects slippery conditions while
braking, ONLY friction is used to slow the vehicle. The
RBS can result in extended life of the hydraulic service
brakes; however, all inspection, scheduled maintenance,
and service intervals for the vehicle service brakes must
be followed.
