Abstract

A method is provided for actuating a brake light of a hydraulic driven working machine that includes equipment to detect the condition of travel including a travel speed sensor, a gear selector switch, a travel direction switch and a travel pedal pressure sensor. The equipment automatically activates a brake light via a control circuit depending on the selected gear if the machine decelerates without the brake pedal being pushed.
