Can I stop my hazards from coming on when braking?
It's really annoying.

Sometimes, as I like to push it now and then, you know, to get the cobwebs out.You must brake pretty hard...

Wonder if the system on the Abarth is any less sensitive as they may obviously get a bit more “spirited” driving than the average 500. I’m presuming yours isn’t an Abarth by saying that!Can I stop my hazards from coming on when braking?

Didnt even know the facility existed! never ever seen it happen in mine or any other fiat in front of me!I've only had it trigger once in any of my first I've driven
Unless your on a track you really shouldn't be getting this trigger in normal driving

Harder that what!? Observation is better than reaction!#MUSTTRYHARDER
No, I mean you need to find a twisty road and see if you can get them to flash with a bit of “spirited” driving Top Gear style!Harder that what!? Observation is better than reaction!
Or just not pay atention when you come up to stationary traffic, that's were I usually see it on other cars.No, I mean you need to find a twisty road and see if you can get them to flash with a bit of “spirited” driving Top Gear style!
Too often, that’s the worrying thingOr just not pay atention when you come up to stationary traffic, that's were I usually see it on other cars.
Interesting concept ! but if you have to brake to hard then surely your either not leaving enough distance between yourself and the vehicle in front off you or your not observing the conditions properly almost" without due care!", ok sure there might be an ODD occasion when something unforeseen happens ! but if other road users (IE- the one behind you) is driving to the correct standard then this feature should not be needed ! and if there not! then it probably aint gonna help anyway!The citroen does that too if you brake a bit too hard.
Ok fair enough but IMO at least if its that urgent you are either going to fast or are to close or not paying enough attention!Most new(and older like the 500) cars do this it's to indicate say on the motorway that a car way in front is severely braking to give you a chance to slow down?
That's a very subjective point. I think last time I had it was when a sheep pretended to play chicken with me - run up to the edge of the road then stop (laughing inside I'm sure).but IMO at least if its that urgent you are either going to fast or are to close or not paying enough attention!
I think MES can turn this off. I keep thinking of it with teh Panda as they flash when just doing a controlled quick stop and its irksome. I shall have a look.I seem to recall someone having done this in the past.
Try loading up MES and navigating to "CAN Setup / PROXI Alignment Procedure" >"Adjustments" > "Hazard lights switch-on in deceleration".
In which case there should be no need to disable it, because even with it enabled, it should never be triggered if you're driving correctly!Ok fair enough but IMO at least if its that urgent you are either going to fast or are to close or not paying enough attention!
