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

Technical Hazards On When Braking
You must brake pretty hard! I've never managed to trigger mine....

Sometimes, as I like to push it now and then, you know, to get the cobwebs out.
.. and get a feel for it's limitations.
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".

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!
I've only had it trigger once in any of my fiats I've driven
Unless your on a track you really shouldn't be getting this trigger in normal driving

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!
Or just not pay atention when you come up to stationary traffic, that's were I usually see it on other cars.

Too often, that’s the worrying thing
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!
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?
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!
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 there are other times when having fun, no other cars close, definitely paying attention, and where 'delicate' people like you would be grabbing the door handle or pressing the imaginery brake pedal, that they might come on....

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!
I see your back to offering your own sarcastic opinions again! just like when you tried to "bully" another members wife just because she was missing a driver aid you thought was unrequired and that she should be able to cope without it!!.
For your information ( not that i am expecting you to listen or care for that matter!) I am in no way "delicate" thank you very much! never "grab the door handle" whilst DRIVING!- and in 44 years of driving have never found any imaginary brake pedal anywhere in any of my cars( or on my bikes for that matter!
Driving attentively and with due care and attention is not being" anal "or "***** " it is being RESPONSABLE! for your own actions whilst being able to anticipate others actions, and unexpected events , your "witty comments appear to imply that I am underconfident and overcautious! I am not!.
Hazards flashing under extreme braking! MAY be considered an additional safety feature by some? for others it may just be masking lacking driving skills or inappropriate behaviours !.(Or just plain stupidity!)
