how the hel do i turn off the hazard when braking on myST150
Discussion
How do you turn them off?
Drive properly!
The hazard warning lights are activated during periods of sudden sharp braking as part of the collision avoidance strategy,thats normally confined to emergency stops.
It's operation is controlled by the Generic Electronic Module (GEM)
As your car has covered just 100 miles, the tyres and the brakes won't have had enough use to bed in yet, let alone other parts of the vehicle that are being subjected to rapid deceleration and probably even a harsher drive cycle than that intended. The Brakes on the Fiesta will overheat if your slamming the anchors on to a screaming stop at every chance.

Why are you braking hard anyway? With a car of today, it takes a while for everything to settle down and get bedded in, you shouldn't be braking so hard with a new car anyway, or are you the type of person that brakes hard if the person in front slows slightly?

Easy guys - maybe the OP is trying to bed in the brakes properly, which *does* involve heavy braking (though not to a complete stop...).
Can't help with the flashy-lights problem though, personally I think it is a very useful idea - and will be on all cars soon.

Yea talk about slate me or what?. it hasent seamed to do it today, so it may be just something to do with being a little snappy and new. But yea thats what i was was told to do with the brakes stand on them but not to a total stand still when new, because when you come to a total stop they will burn.
And whats this old Man talk about runing a car in? its not going to be my problem by the time it gets to 100,000 miles and im shour by that point it will sound like a box of spaners. "but no my problem"
befor yesterday i had a 1.4 fiesta witch i had for 3 years from new and i dident run it in at all, and when eaver i was driving with a 1.6 or eaven 1.8, mine allways seamed to win. So i have done the same with this one gona keep it nice and loose.
And yea now they are not coming on all the time i think its a brillant idea.
Nice one Tiger1
Automatic hazard flasher during sharp braking
In the event of sharp braking, the hazard flasher is switched on by the GEM in order to warn the following traffic.
The GEM detects the braking deceleration via the continuous vehicle speed signal on the MS-CAN bus when the brake pedal is pressed.
When the vehicle speed exceeds a defined level and the braking deceleration exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the hazard flasher system is activated for at least three flashing cycles.
When the brake pedal is released and the GEM detects a renewed increase in vehicle speed, the hazard flasher system is deactivated.
When braking, the hazard flasher is also deactivated when the vehicle speed drops below a defined speed.
Owing to legislation, this function is not available in all markets. If available, it can be enabled or disabled via the personalization menu.
If you have the option to turn it off,it'll be found by pressing the set/reset button on the indicator switch and scrolling through the display on the dash.
But I would still suggest leaving it alone if only to warn the drivers behind you during your moments of sudden sharp braking.

Thanks for your very informative words, your right about the set/reset button on the indicator stork, i now no how to turn it off when i take it on a track day. i also now no how to wind up my mate by turning his ST into french when we go to La Mans hes dumb enuf to beleave it will do it by its self ha ha
