Brake Coach Gauge

The brake coach gauge is a virtual gauge that displays when regenerative braking is occurring and the amount or percentage of energy being captured. There are 2 basic displays for the brake coach gauge. The first is a battery symbol with a set of circular arrows indicating regenerative braking is active. The second is the larger display with the regenerative arrows on the left, a battery symbol on the right and a text display of the amount of energy regenerated in the center of the overall gauge display. The brake coach gauge can be enabled or disabled through the message center settings. The IPC  uses 3 messaged inputs to display the brake coach gauge. The first is the regenerative braking status, the second is the request to display the braking event feedback and the third is the amount of energy recaptured. The IPC  receives the charge/discharge display messages from the GWM  over the Infotainment Controller Area Network (I-CAN). The GWM  receives the charge/discharge display messages from the PCM  over the Electric Vehicle (EV) High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).
