the parking brake in my Cmax is electrically operated

I lift a switch and this engages the parkingbrake and you can hear the motors operating

Push it down and it disengages

Also if you forget when you remove the igniton key it applies the handbrake

Sorry, but I feel that is pathetic over-featuring.

In our country - land of the fat and lazy - that would sell millions tho.

How sad and pathetic.
