No never had that.  She didn't accidentally knock/lean on the internal door locking switch on door arm rest did she?  Not sure if that would trigger the indicators like the locking/unlocking with the key does.

Haha! I disabled this feature as it was somewhat embarrassing if I was driving enthusiastically and had to slow down quite fast. And then the hazards start flashing  :laugh:

iirc, I noticed an option whilst looking through the bytes through VCDS. I think this option said something like 'main brake lights flash during hard braking'.

Did I imagine this byte/option or has anyone here set this? I haven't had a chance to plug the laptop into the car recently
