Abstract
A deceleration indicating system wherein when the deceleration of a running vehicle exceeds a specified value, an emergency deceleration indication is made externally which is different from that deceleration indication which is made when the deceleration of the vehicle is lower than the specified value. The drivers of other vehicles in the vicinity of and behind this vehicle can discriminate according to the deceleration indication of the vehicle whether its deceleration is of a normal kind or emergency kind. This emergency deceleration indication is returned to the normal indication in response to the operation of a manual switch, accelerator pedal or brake pedal.
