Always follow local regulations for the use of the hazard warning lights.
If the hazard warning lights are not working, you must use an alternative method of drawing attention to the broken-down vehicle.
This method must comply with traffic legislation.
The 12-volt vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of time – even when the
ignition is switched off.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the brake lights flash in quick succession if you brake sharply or initiate full braking at a
speed of more than 80 km/h (about 50 mph). This provides an especially conspicuous warning for the following traffic. If you
then continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be switched on automatically at speeds under approximately
10 km/h (6 mph). Once the vehicle starts to accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again.
