Correct answer
That it is about to reverse or is reversing.
They warn that the vehicle is about to reverse or is reversing and also illuminate the area behind. They do not alone prove that it is already moving: they can be lit with reverse selected while the vehicle is stationary. Do not confuse them with white front lights or necessarily interpret them as a fault. The driver must check that the manoeuvre is safe before carrying it out.
