Default Acceleration Question....

Okay this all mmay be in my imagnination but im pretty sure its for real. Anyways if say i take a corner from a stop sighn and i take it relativly fast (with my 2003 GTI 1.8t) abd dio the complete 90 degree turn, while I am doing that it appears as if my hazard lights blink in my car just once, for like a split second. Like i said maybe my imagination but i dont know, has anyone else heard about this or seen this?

Thats your ASR light. Means that you are losing traction.

Default Acceleration Question....

it actually is the hazzard lights (both blinkers at the same time) my 2002 gti does the same thing under the same circumstances.

i thought it was pretty funny, then i wondered if it was just the interior hazards or do the outside lights come on too?

dont know why it happens though

lol! was thinking the same thing!! it is pretty neat tho, to warn other drivers that you may be losing control (not you but the driver in general [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] )
