Are hazard warning lights the same as emergency flashers?
1 Answers
Hazard warning lights are indeed emergency flashers. The vehicle's hazard warning lights and emergency flashers refer to the same lighting system, which is used when the car experiences malfunctions. These lights serve to alert other vehicles and pedestrians when the car encounters major breakdowns or emergency situations. The hazard warning lights are manifested by the simultaneous flashing of turn signals located at the front, rear, left, and right sides of the vehicle. Controlled by a separate switch, hazard warning lights typically share the same flasher unit with the vehicle's turn signals. When the hazard warning switch is activated, the turn signal circuits on both sides of the vehicle are simultaneously powered, causing all directional indicators (front, rear, left, right) as well as the turn signal indicators on the instrument panel to flash in unison.
