Tap the Brakes Light Delay

[OversandJL]

Has anyone else noticed that if you tap the brakes quickly the brake lights stay on for a delayed time afterwards. I noticed it when I was backed up to my garage door yesterday. I then pressed the brakes normally and they shut off quickly when released as I am used to. I have the LED tail lights in case it's different from regular bulbs.

yep noticed the same in early morning (still dark) traffic looking at a bus behind me, I would quickly brake and release and there was about a second delay before brake lights went out. Its actually easier on the eyes some cars are distracting with their led lights cycling off and on so quickly...

I was behind a new mustang today for a little In stop and go traffic. Those tail lights were BRIGHT! I agree and think flashing tail lights could be distracting.

I think it may be the brake hold feature. Where it holds the car for a sec so you don’t roll backwards when starting on a hill.

Is this another feature that’s available on the 2.0 only?

High possibility!
