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 lights according to local laws and traffic regulations.
The hazard warning lights button is located in the overhead console.
The status and interaction points to control the hazard warning lights are signified by the associated symbol.
Automatic activation
The hazard warning lights turn on automatically when the emergency brake lights are triggered due to sudden braking.
You can turn the hazard lights off with the button in the overhead console or let them turn off automatically when you begin driving again.
In the event of a collision
Your hazard warning lights will automatically turn on in the event of a collision1. There is a cool-down period which disables the option to turn the hazard lights off. When you can manually deactivate the lights and use them as normal again, the hazard lights button begins flashing.
