The park brake won't activate in any position other than Park, and the DIC will display the message, Shift to Park if this is attempted (in auto).
I am not a fan of a EPB, luckily I don't drive a car with one. So my questions relate to the infrequent times I have driven them.
1. I'm in the habit of using the handbrake at traffic lights, so pulling the EPB switch while in 'D' does nothing ?
2. Does this explain why when I have pulled the EPB switch, then just driven off, forgetting to de-activate it, then thinking..... how does that work ?
3. Does operation pretty much render an EPB useless unless parked in a garage or car park ?
If I am way off track here, excuse me, as I still have not worked out how they work, or not work, from my limited experience.
