Dumbest part about the car IMO. MT with a proper handbrake shouldn't be that hard to manufacture.

The manual doesn’t state the parking brake will be engaged when you exit the car. It says it does that when the auto hold is on. This has been the case for over 10 years. Since the MT doesn’t have auto hold, have you confirmed the parking brake was applied in your car? |

Have you tried putting the car in diagnostic mode (pushing the start-stop button 3 times without holding the clutch down) and trying to deactivate the e-brake? |

Hmm. I’ll have to test it. Thanks for pointing that out.

I have been in other cars where you can configure the electronic parking brake to engage automatically when parked. Granted this was in an automatic car so the car had a clear indicator (being in park) of when to engage it. Still even in a manual car there should be a way to do this, such as have it engage after you come to a stand still and turn the car off.

I turned it off as normal, opened the door, and the car started rolling… Did you have to configure anything? I have to manually set the parking brake. |

Now, regardless of the gear I park in, I have to apply the P-brake manually. Plus, the car has to be in the drive-ready state to disable the P-brake...either by depressing the button, or drive off. Hill-hold still works as it should. Frankly, I prefer that I have to enable the P-Brake myself, but I'm curious why the auto-enable function stopped working after 1-week? No sure if I'll have the dealer look into this at my next scheduled service. |

I didn’t configure anything, but being used to electric parking brakes on European cars in general, I don’t bother releasing the brake manually when I drive off, as they all auto-release, so that may be the difference in what I’m doing compared with if the brake is manually released and set.

I’ll try parking with first engaged and see if it does it next time. I’m usually in neutral. |

What’s yours? I’m scheduled for a software update on Thursday. I’ll be able to confirm my tests now and after the update if something changed. |

Ha ha, I only act the age of one. In the winter when I work in the garage that doubles as my workshop/machine shop I need more space, so tne BMW and Porsche go on the driveway. It is bad practice to start then stop the engine for such a short time, especially when it is -30C, so I try to drive at least 10km when it is cold to fully warm the oil before shutting the car off again.
