Lighting -> Hazard warning flashers for Your Volvo XC40 SUV 2020

LIGHTING  
Emergency brake lights  
Emergency brake lights are activated to alert  
vehicles behind about heavy braking.  
Hazard warning flashers  
Hazard warning flashers warn other road  
users by means of all of the car's direction  
indicators being activated simultaneously.  
The function can be used to give a warning in  
the event of traffic hazards.  
Regulations for the use of hazard warning  
flashers may vary between countries.  
The function means that the brake light  
flashes instead of - as in normal braking -  
shining with a constant glow.  
The emergency brake lights are activated dur-  
ing heavy braking or if the ABS system is acti-  
vated at high speeds.

After the driver brakes to a low speed and  
then releases the brake, the brake light returns  
to normal glow.  
The car's hazard warning flashers are acti-  
vated at the same time. These flash until the  
driver accelerates the car to a higher speed  
again or switches off the car's hazard warning  
flashers.

The hazard warning flashers are automatically  
activated when the car brakes so powerfully

and the speed is low. The hazard warning  
flashers start to flash after the emergency  
brake lights have stopped flashing and are  
then deactivated automatically when the car  
drives away again or are deactivated if the but-  
ton is depressed.
