RE: Hazard lights 3 flash

You can use the EPB for a practice emergency stop..................... But only once otherwise you can damage the system!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Hazard lights 3 flash

We'll blow me - it works! I tried it last night down the empty lanes near me and under really heavy braking, the hazards came on for probably half a dozen flashes although on one occasion they wouldn't go off and I had to turn them off manually using the hazard switch.

I'd imagine they'd stay on if you bring the car to a stop using the EPB, as you'd expect you are sitting in the middle of the road stopped having just emergency braked from speed.

Not tried this on mine!

You also see people doing it when approaching slow moving or queuing traffic on motorways, which makes sense - although that doesn't necessarily mean it's legal.

I've just looked that up. Apparently that is legal as you are warning following drivers of a hazard or obstruction ahead.
