Braking / Hazard Lights

Watsey · 10-13-2016, 04:53 PM

No doubt I'll get some obvious flak for this question, but can "hazard lights activated under hard braking" be coded- out ?

It really pisses me off.

HelmutVisor · 10-13-2016, 04:56 PM

How hard are you braking for them to come on??!

Tengocity · 10-13-2016, 05:03 PM

There was a debate about this a few years back. I was asking similar, as it irritates the hell out of me too.

You guys must be physic.

I saw an f30 this morning who slammed on and his dynamic brake lights were flashing. I wasn't directly behind him because he was at a junction to my left joining the traffic but I didn't see his hazards come on. I wondered if a certain force has to be applied for the hazards to flash or do they automatically work with dynamic brake lights? He may have coded them out?

Tengocity · 10-13-2016, 05:18 PM

I think it needs to be reasonably sustained braking or coming to a complete stop.

The brake lights flash under heavy braking (the ABS has kicked in) and then the hazards come on when the vehicle comes to rest.

I believe it's also the speed you slam on as well.

If you go from initial bite to hard, they do not come on (or don't seem to), however if you do it as a 'bang' brakes on full, then yes they do.

I have only had mine come on twice and I do brake hard coming off motorways and while on the bloody M6.

It can be coded out:

FEM_BODY / 3060 / WB_GB_ENABLE change it from aktiv to nicht_aktiv

It's up to you. I think it's a good thing but should switch them off automatically say 10 seconds after you stop.

is it not one of these Euro Rules? I have seen numerous makes of cars do this

Categorically no ABS. It's triggered by hard braking to seemingly less than, say, 10mph.

Thanks.

When I get round to some proper coding, rather than "Carly for newbies", I'll see if that works.

Why ? If I wanted to go everywhere at 30mph I'd have got the bus
