Hidden feature or a minor stroke?
I have a 2017 Vitara S and I am the first to admit that I haven’t read ALL the pages in the Driver Manual, but…
I experienced a “strange” thing the other day. I was driving on the highway up here in the dark, icy and snowy north of Sweden.
My speed was something like 100km/h (60mph) when I got the brilliant idea to test if the road was slippery so I could adjust my speed if it was.
So I, just for some seconds, pressed the brake pedal hard and expected the ABS-system to start “pulsing”.
Sure it did, but what I didn’t expect was that the Hazard Warning Lights started flashing, atleast the interior indicators did (If my eyes didn’t fooled me and I am pretty sure they didn’t ?!?)
I have tested the ABS-system both before and after that time and no flashing Hazard Warning Lights then, but those times at a much lower speed.
So, does anyone know if there is a function like “If the ABS-system activates at speeds over this or that the Hazard Warning Lights will activate” or did I maybe had a minor stroke and just seeing things?

Jag är från Skåne. I skrivspråk förstår jag dig och jag tror det hade gått bra även i tal.

I noticed this on a Video in 2016 but still hoping for decent snow and ice like you lucky people have

Right now on the news it's about snow chaos in north of Sweden. I live in the south and havn't had any snow this winter yet. But icy on the roads.

Re: Hidden feature or a minor stroke?
The hazards coming on after very hard braking is a standard feature on most cars these days. Not really recommended to try and test if its working. Think of the non abs carnage behind you !!
