The brake light automatically comes on during
braking.
Emergency brake light and automatic
hazard warning flashers, EBL
Emergency Brake Lights (EBL) are activated in
the event of heavy braking or if the ABS brakes
are activated. This function means that the
brake light flashes to immediately alert cars
travelling behind.
The system is activated if ABS is used for more
than 0.5 seconds or in the event of heavy brak-
ing, however, only when braking from speeds
above 50 km/h. When the speed of the car is
lower than 30 km/h the brake lights shine nor-
mally again and the hazard warning flashers
are switched on automatically. The hazard
warning flashers remain on until the car accel-
erates again but can be deactivated with the
button for hazard warning flashers
