An apparatus and method to automatically and individually, simultaneously, and/or sequentially operate a horn system a light system and/or a braking system of a vehicle. A threat detection system secured in the vehicle detects threats and sends one or more signals, directly or indirectly, to the braking, horn and/or light systems to activate those systems to improve delivery time of safety and/or emergency warning signals to third party vehicles and pedestrians. The systems can be connected directly via relay, or may incorporate an intermediary electronic control unit or controller to coordinate operation of the systems. A deactivation device enables a driver to disconnect the threat detection system from the horn, light and braking systems to permit manual control of those systems. A second deactivation device permits the driver to disconnect coordinated control of the brake, horn and/or light systems from the threat detection system. The apparatus permits automated post-crash operation of the horn and/or light systems to provide audible and visual warning signals to third party vehicles and pedestrians and includes an optional backup battery to operate the horn and light systems should the main battery post-crash. A GPS-controlled turn-signal system permits automated activation of vehicle directional arrow lights.
