Hazard warning lights
The hazard warning lights are used to make other road
users aware of your vehicle in hazardous situations.
– Press the switch to switch the hazard warning lights
on or off ⇒ fig. 55.
All four turn signals flash simultaneously when the hazard warning
lights are switched on. The two turn signal indicator lamps and
the indicator lamp in the switch will flash at the same time. The
hazard warning lights also work when the ignition is switched off.
The hazard warning lights come on automatically in the event of an
accident in which an airbag is triggered or in the case of an emer-
gency stop (full brake application).
Note
You should switch on the hazard warning lights to warn other road
users, for instance:
• When reaching the tail end of a traffic jam
• If your vehicle breaks down or there is an emergency
• If your vehicle is being towed away, or if you are towing another
vehicle.
