Why Does the Hazard Warning Flasher Flash When Activated?
1 Answers
It is normal for the hazard warning flasher to flash when activated. Below are the situations when the hazard warning flasher should be turned on: 1. When the vehicle breaks down: If the vehicle cannot be moved to a safe area in time, the hazard warning flasher should be activated immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians for safety, and the authorities should be notified promptly while waiting for rescue. 2. Breakdown on the highway: The vehicle should be parked in the emergency stopping lane, the hazard warning flasher should be turned on immediately, and a warning sign should be placed 150 meters behind the vehicle before quickly notifying the authorities. 3. When towing a faulty vehicle: Since the vehicle is in an abnormal state, both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should turn on the hazard warning flasher simultaneously to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians. 4. Sudden heavy rain while driving: The hazard warning flasher should be activated immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians for safety and draw attention. 5. Transporting critically ill patients: When rushing to transport critically ill patients, the headlights should be turned on immediately along with the hazard warning flasher, and the horn should be used appropriately. A clearly visible special sign should also be displayed outside the vehicle.
