What are hazard warning lights?
1 Answers
Hazard warning lights are the emergency indicators of a vehicle. When activated, they indicate that the car ahead has encountered an emergency situation preventing it from continuing forward, requiring following vehicles to brake promptly. The hazard lights serve to alert trailing vehicles. Below is more information about hazard warning lights: 1. Hazard indicators are used to warn other vehicles and pedestrians when a car experiences major malfunctions or emergencies. The hazard signal is controlled by a separate switch, typically sharing a flasher unit with the turn signals. 2. When the hazard switch is engaged, both sides of the vehicle's turn signal circuits are simultaneously powered, causing all front/rear turn lights and dashboard indicators to flash synchronously. Hazard lights remain operational even with the ignition turned off, as their switch connects the flasher directly to the battery.
