The brake lights illuminate automatically when braking.

The brake lights are illuminated when the brake pedal is depressed and when the brakes are automatically applied by a driver support system.

Emergency brake lights

The emergency brake lights are activated to warn following vehicles of hard braking.

This function causes an additional taillight on each side of the vehicle to illuminate.

The emergency brake lights are activated in the event of hard braking or if the ABS system is activated and the vehicle is traveling at a high speed.

After the driver decelerates to a low speed and then releases the brake, the brake lights resume their normal brightness.
