I had to brake fairly sharply to avoid driving into the back of a guy on a Vespa which had just stalled (yes, a clash of the Italians). When I braked (broked, broke!?) the hazard warning lights came on all by themselves and then went off when I pulled away.

I couldn't find anything in the manual so wondered if anyone else has noticed the same or if its a typical Italian quirk.

i would say its an emergency braking warning
many cars have it now

Standard feature, bloody good idea as well

Yes, it's a feature on bravo but what really annoys me even without braking hard, when i'm going down the hill and the car jumps a bit on the bumps and i just touch the brakes the hazard lights will start flashing much quicker than normally when you turn them on... It's nice feature but may confuse other people behind you...

That happen to me tonight, I thought it was really cool. It never happened with my other japanese boxes and skoda octavia

never happened to me...

Its not how hard you brake but how quickly you hit the pedal. The brakes also have EBD which should kick in so I suspect its the same system that triggers the hazards.

Try it, just not when anyone is about

i never been able to do this with mine

in my opinion the harzards come on way to early. Just embarrassing if you spank the car on a country road. Apparently.

I dont recall this ever happening to me, and ive braked pretty hard on a numerous of occassions, maybe im to quick for the cars onboard gadgets
