Brake lights

[josh2023]

If I am using cruise control and the car slows down eg going downhill, do the brake lights come on?

If the car’s using the brakes to slow down when ACC is being used, the brake lights should illuminate.

Actually that is visible in the instrument cluster - the brake lights on the thumbnail of the car come on. Neat!

If the cruise is set then you should also see the brake pedal move, or feel it with your foot, so the brake lights come on the same as if you pushed it.

The only weird thing is the regen with the DSG, the car can start slowing quite hard but the brake lights stay off, presumably as it's no different to changing down in a manual. It's caught out a few people following me up to junctions, as the car starts to regen really early compared to their braking point.

I've never noticed a brake light illumination on the cockpit display when cruise control is enabled .I will check the brake pedal feel next time.
