Like on other modern cars does the J11b Qashqai brake light flash when braking harshly? I was looking at a brake test on YouTube and the lights seemed to stay static.

If it were fitted it should be mentioned in the handbook.

I believe it to be the indicators, I am sure it is EU legislation that came in around 2010. You would need to be above a certain speed for it to activate, think it is above 40 mph. The intention of this is on motorways to make the person behind more alert, where people used to do this manually at times.
