The warning light on the outside rear view mirror (side view mirror), head-up display (if

When the vehicle is stopped due to emergency braking, the warning message will appear
on the cluster. For your safety, the driver should depress the brake pedal immediately and
check the surroundings.

mately 2 seconds.
