All the turn signal lights on the vehicle flash at the same time when the hazard
warning light system is switched on. The indicator light for the turn signals and
the indicator light in the switch also flash at the same time. The hazard warning
light system can also be operated if the ignition is switched off.
The hazard warning light system is switched on automatically if an airbag is de-
ployed in the event of an accident.
Note
The hazard warning light system must be switched on if, for example:
■
you encounter a traffic congestion;
■
your vehicle breaks down or an emergency situation occurs.
