Auto flashing Hazard Warning lights under emergency/heavy braking!
This morning I had to slam on the brakes, and I mean seriously slam them on at 60mph when a stupid t*at driving an Audi S4 coming the other way decided that he wasn't going to run over the pheasant that had just flown out onto the road and wanted to hit me head-on instead and veered right into my path.........
Brake pedal to the floor very very quickly, DSC kicked in, steering firmed up noticeably and the car pulled up straight and in a totally controlled way and then I heard the indicators clicking. I looked at the dash and both arrows were illuminating showing the Hazard Warning lights had come on!
The brakes on this car are even better than the Brembos I had on my last RRS. Fortunately we both managed to stop about 10feet apart and luckily the following car was a sensible 3-4 car lengths behind and was an RRSport and also stopped in an extremely short distance (thank goodness he wasn't tailgating!)
