The green light will be on at the exit of the pit lane only after the whole formation passes the exit and only for the time necessary for the waiting cars to leave and join the end of the formation. This possibility of joining for the cars going out from the box will be repeated upon the race director´s instructions at every lap led by the SC. Under certain circumstances the race director can order the SC to pass through the pit lane. In this case and providing that the orange roof lights of the SC are flashing, all the cars must follow the SC without overtaking. In this case a car can stop at its box.
21.4. If the race director calls off the SC, it will switch off the orange roof lights and will enter the paddock at the end of the lap. From that moment the first car can set the speed of the formation and if needed it can pull away from the SC at the distance of more than 5 lengths of the car.

If the SC went to the paddock entrance and the cars are approaching the start line, the yellow flags and the SC boards will be removed and the green light will be lit (or the red light will be switched off or the green flag will be used) at the start line. All the track marshals´ stations will display the green flag for one lap. Overtaking is prohibited until the cars cross the start line.

21.7. If the race is finished during the Safety Car deployment, the SC and all the cars behind will pass under the checkered flag and enter the box.
