Default Hazard warning lights

Does anybody know if on a D3 the hazard warning lights automaticaly flash when you brake hard enough for the ABS to kick in?
I am sure the other day when braking hard that i saw mine flash and then i forgot all about it until i saw Top gear the other day and a cars lights did it when brakng. Is it all new cars and when did this start to happen ?

Don;t think it does it on mine.. The M3 flashes the high-level brake light when you brake hard.

Just searched on google and found out its called ESS( emergency stop signal) and Audi do use the hazard warning lights but dont know when they started to do this. I may need to do a few tests on a very quite road
