Emergency brake lights
Emergency brake lights are activated to alert
vehicles behind about heavy braking.
The function means that the brake light flashes
instead of - as in normal braking - shining with a
constant glow.
The emergency brake lights are activated during
heavy braking or if the ABS system is activated at
high speeds.
After the driver brakes to a low speed and then
releases the brake, the brake light returns to nor-
mal glow.
The car's hazard warning flashers are activated at
the same time. These flash until the driver accel-
erates the car to a higher speed again or
switches off the hazard warning flashers.
