At what speed does hazard lights flash if the driver suddenly brakes? And do All cx 5 trims 2017 -2019 have this feature ? And any one had this hazard light came on while applying emergency brake?
Some people calling it parking brake as emergency brake is because you can use it to slow down the vehicle when the regular foot brake fails. And you certainly can apply parking brake, including newer electrical parking brake while the vehicle is in motion simply by holding the switch at the pull-up position.The parking brake (it's NOT an emergency brake) cannot be applied while the vehicle is in motion.

Yeah you've to hold the EPB switch up and make it work while the vehicle is moving. I personally have never had a chance to use it this way, but it's what described in our owner's manual. I doubt these parking brakes would lock the rear wheels up and trigger the ABS though as the parking brake really has very minimum stopping power when the vehicle is moving.I stand corrected. The one time that I tired to apply the parking brake while the car was moving didn't work. I didn't hold the switch in the up position though. I pulled it up for a moment and the indicator flashed at me but didn't apply the brake.
So by holding the switch up I can slide the ass end of my CX around in the snow?

Not wishing to contradict but I think it will. I suppose there*s an easy way to find out.
Are you maybe referring to the quick, multiple flashes you seen when you are behind someone and they brake? If so, that's an aftermarket upgrade some people do by installing a flasher module in their brake light. Personally, that annoys the sh%& out of me when I'm behind them in stop and go traffic

Yes this feature mostly from factory and is enabled in many countries if local regulation allows.This isn't true for all cars. Some cars don't need any aftermarket parts to make this happen. My 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagen had this feature built in. It wasn't enabled from the factory but with the Rosstech interface and a laptop this feature, along with many others, could be turned on.
