That is not a factory feature, it's almost certainly a dealer-installed piece of junk like this (https://pulseprotects.com/product-info/) which the dealer almost certainly charged a stupid amount of money for, and as noted it's not actually legal in the US.

Around me the local Hyundai/Kia chain loves to install those, and I hate them.

As you may be aware, the US is a confederation of states. The type of light that flashes several times at the initiation of braking is specifically authorized by the California Vehicle Code, and perhaps in other states.

I bought the car used. I did not install it, but can not claim the previous owner did or did not.

Doesn't seem to be illegal enough if dealers are installing them
