Indicators flashing when stopping in traffic

[FMAJ]

Hi all,

I’ve had my new HS Trophy PHEV for about 4 weeks now but only noticed something strange today. When braking a little more firmly to stop in traffic, I noticed in the reflection on the car in front that my front indicators were flashing and went off when I was stationary. The rears may have been flashing too, but I couldn’t tell because there was nothing visual or audible in the car say that the indicators were flashing.

I wasn’t braking hard at all so I don’t think it was anything to do with emergency braking and the forward collision warning didn’t come on. Has anyone come across this before?

I've seen this a couple of times in similar situations to yours. I assumed it's some kind of emergency warning whilst not being an especially emergency situation!

It's probably the Rear Collision Warning, as discussed in this MG4 thread and elsewhere:

Thread 'Hazard Lights Flashing'

Aug 16, 2023

Hello,
Was wondering if someone could help me? I have a MG4 Trophy, I've noticed a few times when I've been stopped or coming to a stop my hazards start flashing, I just assumed it thought the car behind was driving too fast/close?

However, I was stuck in traffic yesterday, HGV behind me just stopped, every time a car passed the opposite way my hazards kept flashing, what is the feature meant to do?

Thanks
