Cool feature - auto horn in emergency braking

[broiler]

I had a near miss this morning when a deer ran right out in front of me, and I had to slam the brakes (and I mean SLAM!) and swerve, in wet conditions, going about 45MPH to avoid collision. What I didn't realize was that the horn automatically sounds during very hard braking! (at least I think it was automatic, I don't think I was pressing it and even looked down right after) This is a very cool feature and it helped scare the deer away.

Or it was your guardian angel!

My vote is guardian angel. I've slammed em as hard as one could and all I got was sweaty palms and a huge sigh of relief.

At least you did not also get a wet spot (or worse) on the seat of your pants, as well!

It is possible that my hand slipped and was resting on the horn, but I didn't think so. Everything happened so fast, that anything's possible...
