Default Interesting note. EPB automatic feature

If you open the drivers door while in drive the EPB automatically engages. This is not the case on my previous C6 A6 and my B8 S4. I was stopped at the time I was testing it and there is no logical reason to open the drivers door while moving except perhaps accidentally at 1mph, but I am interested to know if the EPB would clamp on if the door was opened while moving a bit faster...it would certainly be a startling experience.

Interesting! I'm going to try it (but not at higher speed!)

I think it's super annoying because I often will open my door when parking against a curb or tight space to check the lines. There is no reason to have my parking brake slam on when I'm clearly in control! This is probably my #1 complaint with my SQ5.
