Automatic activation
The hazard warning lights turn on automatically when the emergency brake lights are triggered due to sudden braking. You can them off manually or let them turn off automatically when you begin driving again.
In the event of a collision
Your hazard lights will automatically turn on in the event of a collision.1
There is a cool-down period which disables the option to turn the hazard lights off. When you can use them as normal, the hazard lights button begins flashing again.
