When reading the specs of a few cars, I noticed that certain models from the last few years have a feature where the e-brake is automatically applied when the engine turned off. IIRC, one of them is the Peugeot 308 with the e-HDi engine.
This may be linked to the engine start-stop system, and makes stopping and then moving uphill easier. But what I am worried about is coasting with the engine off - if the e-brake is automatically applied when the engine is killed, then coasting will be impossible
Or is this not the case?
