223001521 - E2020 DIRECTION INDICATORS/HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS - DESCRIPTION (MY 2005)

The flashing turn signal and hazard lights delimit the vehicle''s bulk.The right and left side turn signals are activated by raising or lowering a steering wheel stalk switch.The hazard warning lights (right and left side indicators operated simultaneously) are activated by means of a red button in the centre of the control panel in the dashboard.The turn signals are ignition-operated but the hazard warning lights can always be operated for safety reasons because they are supplied directly by the battery.The turn signal and hazard warning light circuits are protected by two different fuses.Two warning lights on the instrument panel, also intermittent, indicate activation of the right and left indicators. They come on simultaneously if the hazard warning lights are activated.The Comfort instrument panel also offers a turn signal/hazard light check function.Faults are detected by vehicle branch (right and left side), in this case the Body Computer sends the fault status to the instrument panel via the CAN network, which turns on the relevant exterior light fault warning light and simultaneously shows the information on the display.
