My options sheet doesn't list any option for adaptive brake lights.. is it just a coding thing?

All US cars have that "two stage" braking lights. On hard braking the inner lamps come on a second after the brake lights come on.

EU cars have that feature where the third brake light flashes under very hard braking and IF you continue to slow down HARD... under 70 kph(I think) to a dead stop the hazzard(foru way flashers) lights will also flash. US DOT says that flashing of the hazzards would confuse moterists so US cars don't get that feature.

Yes, it can be coded - if you so desire.
