One of the features on this car is to flash the hazard warning lights in the event of an emergency braking - sort of makes sense I suppose.
However - so far I have never managed to activate this feature in the correct scenario - so when braking heavily on the motorway for an incident.. they didn't flash.. so obviously not braking hard enough.
But then - I have managed to activate the lights in what I would consider normal driving. The first time it was when I missed a braking point for a turning I wanted to make - so since nothing was behind me.. it was 5:30am - I hit the brake pedal pretty hard.. but not ABS hard.. and suddenly the hazard warning came on. Fair enough, it was quite aggressive braking.. but not what I was thinking was an emergency stop.
The more recent time was really strange. I was coming towards a T - junction and again was needing to brake reasonably hard to slow down the car - but well within the cars capability and road conditions. I then heard the turning signal and thought I had caught the stick - then realised the hazard lights had come on. This was incredible?.. so what level of deceleration is required to make the emergency stop... well it is not clear to me.
