Emergency Stop Signal - Honda CIVIC 2014 Manual

■ Brake assist system operation
Press the brake pedal firmly for more powerful braking.
When brake assist operates, the pedal may wiggle slightly and an operating noise may be
heard. This is normal. Keep holding the brake pedal firmly down.

Emergency Stop Signal

Activates when you brake hard while driving at 60 km/h (37 mph) or above to alert drivers
behind you about sudden braking by rapidly flashing hazard warning lights. This may help to
alert drivers behind you to take appropriate means to avoid a possible collision with your
vehicle.
■ When the system activates:
Hard Braking
a

The hazard warning lights stop flashing when:
• You release the brake pedal.
• The ABS is deactivated.
• Your vehicle's decelerating speed becomes moderate.
• You press the hazard warning button.
The emergency stop signal is not a system that can prevent a possible rear-end collision
caused by your hard braking. It flashes the hazard warning lights at the time you are braking
hard. It is always recommended to avoid hard braking unless it is absolutely necessary.
The emergency stop signal does not activate with the hazard warning button pressed in.
If the ABS stops working for a certain period during braking, the emergency stop signal may
not activate at all.
