There is a high-mounted stop (brake) lamp on the inside of the rear windshield. This lamp lights during braking together with the standard stop lamps. The stop lamp is activated when the stop lamp switch on the brake pedal is closed.

The high mounted stop lamp is supplied with power directly from the rear electronic module (REM). The lamp consists of a number of LEDs.

There are diagnostics for the high level stop lamp.
