Will the hazard lights turn on automatically during emergency braking?

Emergency braking automatically activates the hazard lights. Usage of hazard lights: If the vehicle breaks down and cannot move (or moves at low speed, including when being towed), the hazard lights should also be turned on to alert vehicles behind. In China, the use of hazard lights is subject to very strict requirements. When using hazard lights, one must consider not only their own safety but also avoid affecting the driving of others. Braking principle: The principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing a corresponding brake shoe, band, or disc on the machine base, which generates braking torque under external force. The braking device, also known as a decelerator, is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the vehicle speed.
That's a common issue many friends have discussed. I remember once on the highway, when the car in front suddenly slowed down, I hit the brakes a bit too hard, and the hazard lights started flashing automatically, which really startled me. Later, I learned that my car has an emergency brake signal function that automatically activates the hazard lights to warn vehicles behind. However, not all cars have this feature. Many newer models, especially German cars, often come equipped with it, while older models might not. This function works by the computer detecting sudden deceleration—once it senses a hard brake, it triggers the hazard lights to prevent rear-end collisions. It's a pretty smart safety design. Personally, I find it quite useful, especially in rainy conditions or poor visibility, as it gives other drivers more reaction time. If you're unsure whether your car has this feature, check the owner's manual or ask the dealership—they can confirm. Overall, this feature makes driving safer, but it's still best to avoid sudden braking to prevent accidents whenever possible.
