    Hi,

    I have a 2009/59 B8 model A4. Does anybody know what happens in an emergency braking situation with this car by default? I haven't been able to test the situation as I can't see the lights while driving.

    • Do the hazard lamps activate?
    • Do the brake lights flash?
    I know these can be enabled via Vag Com, but are then activated my default with this model year?

    Thanks

    The UK spec 59 plate A4 doesn't have either of these options activated as standard. I dont belive even the 10' plate ones have this as standard although, its always a VCDS option like you say.
