WARNING
The components of the exhaust system
reach very high temperatures. This could
cause a fire and considerable damage.
Always park your vehicle so that no part
●
of the exhaust system can come in contact
with flammable materials (such as dried
grass or fuel).
Note
The vehicle battery will discharge and
●
run down if the hazard warning lights re-
main on for too long (even with the ignition
turned off).
Operation
In some vehicles, the brake lights will
●
flash when braking abruptly at speeds of
approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) to warn
vehicles travelling behind. If braking con-
tinues, the hazard warning lights system
will automatically be turned on at a speed
of less than approximately 10 km/h
(6 mph). The brake lights remain lit. Upon
accelerating, the hazard warning lights will
be automatically turned off.
