Emergency stop signal system
This is a device that reduces the possibility of rear end collisions by the rapid and automatic blinking of the hazard warning lamps to alert vehicles approaching from behind during sudden braking.
When the emergency stop signal system operates, the hazard warning indication lamp in the instrument cluster blinks rapidly at the same time.
