MECHANICAL SYSTEM OPERATION
Each of the tail lamps also contains a double filament stop lamp bulb. The stop lamp filament lights under the following conditions:

The high mount stop lamp assembly fitted to the inside of the vehicle and to the rear spoiler uses a strip of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for
illumination. The stop lamp is designed to operate in conjunction with the tail lamps whenever the brake pedal is depressed.

high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) and left and right stop lamps.
