5 or so rapid hazard light blinks

[darth_maul_80]

Hi all,

I’ve noticed a few times at standstill I’ve had five or so rapid hazard light blinks. I can see in the reflection from car in front that my hazard actually go on and it’s not just a dash display.

Does anyone know what it is? Tried looking at the manual and forum but can’t find the answer. Reading another thread thought it might be lane change assist feature mentioned on them but this is a fast blink that turns itself off

? no I was at standstill

I know about emergency breaking hazards but this was faster than normal hazard light blink rate

Do you have exit warning active ? It comes with the remote parking option. If I try to open my door at standstill and a car is approach it will give a signal with the LED next to the door handle. I don’t know if it also uses the hazards light.

no I don’t. I wasn’t doing anything other than sitting at roundabout traffic lights

Might it have been reacting to a vehicle approaching too quickly behind?...
Rear-end collision alert
Porsche presented an innovative new assistance system with the Taycan: RECAS (Rear End Collision Alert System). This actively warns the traffic behind of a potential rear-end collision. The system continuously monitors following traffic and calculates the probability of a possible collision from the vehicle’s own speed and that of traffic behind the vehicle. If this danger is detected, e.g. when approaching a traffic jam, the system automatically activates the hazard warning lights to warn traffic behind, encouraging drivers approaching the rear of the vehicle to brake.
(Audi has a similar system- they describe it as a rapid flash.)

it might well be that. I did read that but didn’t see fast flashes. Tbh don’t remember speed of cars behind so seems likely scenario

It happens when the car thinks somebody is going to hit you. It normally happens when a bike is coming up from behind and goes around you at the last second.
