Default radar cruise control question

not sure if this has been addressed before, but I was wondering if anyone knows if the brake lights light up when the radar cruise control slows your car down because the car in front of you is going slower than your set speed?
I'm hoping it does, cos I would like the person behind me to know I'm going to be going from 75mph to 60 in 3-5 seconds!

will appreciate any input on this issue!

On my 2015, when all that is live - the little car in the digital instrument cluster that represents you, the brake lights will go bright when it applies the brakes.

Not always, only under moderate to high braking condition. It's like when the car in front of u is slightly slowing down from say 80-75, the car will only let go of the gas and downshift instead of applying the brakes. But if ur going from 80-50 or someone cuts u off, it will apply the brakes and the lights will light up. It mimics real driving condition.

Please ... please - don't tell ItzFilyO that what he says makes sense. He needs a beat-down, not praise...
