Emergency brake self applying

[loboloco]

It's nice to be able to move them. The ABH isn't a "need" any more than having power windows or air conditioning.

Agreed. Every day driving, no thanks. I don't want any automatic braking, ever.

At Customs returning from Canada where a car moves every 4 minutes, it was way better than holding the brake and shifting in and out of park.

You should be able to disable the auto-hold with a button selection AND the auto E-brake application in the Sync menu. If not, then it can certainly be done with FORScan.
Auto E-brake is NOT a completely passive function.

Unpopular opinion Automatics should only have R-N-D and optional L. Should be N with the parking brake every time.

Possibly that's a typo and it should say "power your vehicle off", not "on".

I think it was informing us of something we would not expect, but could happen.

Why would we expect it to engage when turning on and in park?

Well, it might have decided the slope on starting was worse than on stopping prior drive.
So on it comes.
Someone might think it's broken - that note says nope, it may do that.

Oh wait - poorly written manual with typos?

Oh yeah - that reason!

May have missed it...
Do you just shut the vehicle off from R or D when parking?
Or do you put it in Park first?

If just shutting it off from R or D, then it will apply.
Move to P first, then shut off and the Parking Brake does not apply.

Learning to engage the parking brake prior to moving to P and then disengaging when I get back in, as my work parking spot is often on a slight incline.

Also depends on year/model and slope. So it's not the same for all.

I've never had the EPB engage with your description.

It only shifts to Park automatically.

Now matter how steep. EPB doesn't auto-engage. All recalls done.

Any one know how to turn that feature off. Not a fan of parking in my driveway and having to release a brake that i did not set.

Didn't see it mentioned in review.

You are also the winner of a year where there was an issue with the system actually knowing if the parking pawl was really engaged, upon switching to Park.

So the software solution to that - engage the EPB all the time, or most the time.

Guessing the redesigned HF55 had a mechanical difference in that pawl, or a potentially bad set of sensors to cause it.

Someone correct me - didn't the recall start with the 25MY at some point?
