Symmetry of Lagrangians of nonholonomic controllable mechanical systems is studied. The definition and criterion of the symmetry of the system are presented. Under the condition that there exists a conserved quantity, the form of the conserved quantity is provided. An example is presented to illustrate the application of the results.
