Brake Force Display

To improve the reaction of other drivers in a panic stop, the E85 has a Brake Force Display system. If a deceleration of more than 5m/s2 or an ABS signal is detected, the bulbs in compartment 3 are activated by the light switch center. They will then receive the full 21 Watts of power and the brake light plus Brake Force Display function is illuminated.
