I thought the parking brake should disengage automatically when you hit the accelerator pedal? different on different models?
Thank you! I didn't even realize it did this. Sometimes I hit the gas before my seatbelt goes on. I will have to start putting on my seatbelt right away.My 4 banger releases the parking break when i hit the accelerator pedal, the only time this doesn't work is when I haven't engaged my seat belt before!
My bug about the break hold is I have to engage it every drive, I wish there was a way of just having it turned on indefinately.
Also, agree with you on the second point. I wish you could turn it on and off whenever, rather than have it turn off every time you park your car for a bit.My 4 banger releases the parking break when i hit the accelerator pedal, the only time this doesn't work is when I haven't engaged my seat belt before!

However, it seems that when you park and turn the car off after using brake hold, it automatically engages the emergency parking brake.
Ah yes, there is a red PARK that shows up for the parking break. So I've been able to figure out what the manual means by "When the engine is turned off while brake hold is applied".There is a red indicator that lights up that says "brake" (i believe) near the gauges
This has bugged me too, I am pretty certain it does but haven't tested it yet.I was wondering... With brake hold on and you let go of the brake pedal, do the rear brake lights remain on? I would think so, but I am not certain.
It does. I was wondering the same thing then a nice shiny semi pulled up behind me while i had the foot on the brake so I engaged brake hold. I then let my foot off the brake and noticed that the brake lights stayed on from the reflection off the grille. They turn off as soon as the car starts moving.This has bugged me too, I am pretty certain it does but haven't tested it yet.
I would like to know the answer too![]()
Funny! I was also curious, but I test mine at night on a lonely country road by checking the reflection in the road signs LOL.It does.
