Parking Brake- Automatic

[SRHAGEN]

Sorry, I need a little more detail.
I don't understand the parking brake coming on when in reverse and the back up camera is on. (I was only in the Air Force 4 years and not retired Army- thanks for your service!)
I just want to park the truck and not have a long reach to engage the Parking Brake.

Get in the truck put it in reverse look at the screen find the hand symbol and touch it. If you want it all the time touch the + sign it will tell u what it’s doing.

It will also put the parking brake on when you open the drivers door while the truck is running.

That is interesting!
I'll probably forget to turn the truck off.
It just seems an easy option to put the truck in Park and have the parking brake engage.

the plus sign is just the zoom function. We have some Trolls onboard.
Mine does it every time. Auto parking brake

While in reverse and touching the hand icon works, but only for that episode. Once I cycle through a start/stop, the auto brake is not active.
Much easier to get into the habit of activating the Parking Brake BEFORE shutting down and backing the driver’s seat back.

Oh well.
Until I find a better option, I'll turn the easy exit off.
From my reading, using the Parking Brake offers some protection for the transmission.

If you open the drivers door in both my F150 and the MME while the vehicle is on, and in drive, it applies the parking brake while automatically shifting into park. The F150 w/ its console shifter is interesting to watch. The MME dial is just that. The parking pawl is adequate in both vehicles alone w/ out the brake, but do keep in mind that park doesn't stop a differential's action in that one tire loose = both tires loose.

I use auto hold in the F150 so going forward at least, once you stop the brakes are engaged. Auto hold doesn't work in reverse. In the MME it's electric and there's no drift, so no gas, no movement. Backing up is a bit more hairy in that you must press the throttle to go back, you can't just hover / drag the brake while in reverse. I'd like that programable to have slight auto go in reverse. When backing into my spot, it's unnerving to be going towards a wall using the gas pedal for movement.

If you're in drive, open the door, ebrake auto engages. On an incline the parking brake also engages. Otherwise I don't manually use it unless there's a situation that warrants it, but auto gets it 90% of the time in those instances. The MME also will not move with the driver's door open (possibly other doors too) unless you push in and hold the e-brake release. It engages w/ door open even after putting into drive and that brake is a pretty tenacious little bastard. It's like the front motor won't engage while the rear motor binds up on the brake -- won't budge though. I think the motor is de-rating at that point though as it's a 9.05:1 reduction and it has 330ftlb of torque from a stop.

Mine stays on. Do you have any driving or towing aids turned off. It does work with some other features.

I was freaked. Out by this when I got my truck. Doesn’t do it if seatbelt is on or ur going over certain speed. rolling to a stop and open the door it’s gonna slam into park. I was very surprised they would program it that way. Seems counter intuitive for sure.

just buckle ur seatbelt no problems.

I don't know of any driving or towing aids turned off(but there are many options).
I do not like auto hold and that might be a factor.
Something about getting out of the truck while it is turned on seems a little counter-intuitive. I think I will just keep it simple and manually engage/disengage the Parking Brake.

Parking pawls (outside of recall) are more than adequate for their duty. The auto parking brake kicks in where warranted.

what's that? Oh, that thing I disabled the nanny-minder over the noise it was making attempting to force me into something or listen to it. NO!

I know the Parking Brake can disengage automatically- shift into gear and apply gas.
Manual says Parking Brake can engage automatically, but no details. I’m guessing when parked on an incline.
1 Does anyone know when the Parking Brake engages automatically?
2 Who does or does not engage the Parking Brake routinely? Why?
I believe the transmission has a parking pin that needs protection. In older transmissions (read mechanical vs electronic) parking on a hill could ‘lock’ the transmission in park making shifting into gear difficult (been there).
Thanks

I park on a nose up incline routinely at work, if I don't hit the brake fast enough it engages by itself...

let’s keep this short and simple. it’s a setting in the head unit that can be turned on or off.

21 XLT SuperCab. Column shift.
I disabled auto hold and automatic dimming on the first day.
enabled daytime running lights

That is about the extent of my changes.

My truck will turn on parking brake if the brake pedal is not fully depressed when shifting into Park.
Happens quite frequently to me as I am coming from a manual trans and for about 45 years I have been in the habit of turning the truck off before actually stopping.
I don’t shift the new new truck into park while moving, but have shifted without pressing the brake pedal or not pressing it hard enough.

I am not a parking brake user (that’s what 1st and reverse were far) unless parked on a steep incline.

If I recall correctly, when you’re hooked up to a trailer, it automatically turns on the parking brake whenever you shift into park. I don’t remember if it disengages when shifting into drive or reverse, but I’m kind of leaning toward “not”, since I recall it kept tripping me up when backing the trailer up and having to jump out a few times to see if it was in the right spot.

Yes. If you are hooked up to a trailer my truck engages the parking break each time I put it into park. Also, if you are backing up to a trailer before it's hooked up and using the backup camera to back to the hitch using the zoomed in mode that shows only the hitch, the truck will also automatically engage the parking brake when you put the truck in park. Those are the only two times I have had it engage automatically.

Mine will set itself sometimes in the garage. I was thinking it was because the truck will roll a little bit depending how far forward I am after I put it in park and take my foot off the regular brake. I'm going to have to try the opening door with it still running scenario. I might do that sometimes and not realize it.
