Hazard warning lights

If there is a potential risk to surrounding traffic, you should turn the hazard warning lights on. This helps to alert other road users of the need for greater awareness.

Important

It is the driver's responsibility to use hazard warning lights according to local laws and traffic regulations.

The hazard warning lights button is located in the overhead console. You can also access the lights in the bottom bar in the centre display.

Automatic activation

The hazard warning lights turn on automatically when the emergency brake lights are triggered due to sudden braking or an emergency stop manoeuvre.

You can turn the hazard lights off with the button in the overhead console or via the centre display. The hazard lights will turn off automatically if you begin driving again.

In the event of a collision

Your hazard warning lights will automatically turn on in the event of a collision.[1]

There is a brief cool-down period which disables the option to turn the hazard warning lights off. When the cool-down period is over, you can deactivate the lights via the button in the overhead console or the centre display.
