2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Galway Green

On this subject... the manual suggests the parking break will be applied automatically when you switch off the engine but I can't see any evidence of that. I have to do it manually or its not on. That's not a problem I just wondered why the manual suggests something different. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

I think the very early ones did - but do not now - IIRC to prevent seizing on if left stood for time. i.e. before you couldn't not engage it - now you can....

It's been interesting seeing the subtle carry-overs between the Jaguars and the RRS - neither my old 05HSE nor my new 10 HSE have the auto park brake application, but my wife's XF and the previous S type both did...

Interesting the 2010 manual still says:

Applying the EPB automatically
EPB will be applied automatically if the ignition
is switched off and the vehicle speed is below
3 km/h (2 mph).
To prevent an automatic application, when the
vehicle is stationary press and hold the EPB
switch in the release position. Within 5
seconds switch off the ignition and hold the
EPB switch for a further 2 seconds. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

As my drive here is quite level I didn't always use the handbrake but most mornings when I came out to it the handbrake was on. Didn't think much else other than I'd put it on and forgotten I'd done it! Perhaps it does or rather did still go on after a while on the MY09s! Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

This feature is not available in the earlier models.
Silly question really, but, to test the feature, did you switch off your engine while the vehicle is moving, albeit at below 2 mph? Malaysia Boleh!
