Can you not use e-brake in automatic TSXs? I would really like to put the e-brake on when i am stopped at long red lights yet the car still rolls depending on the slope.

similar topic but i'm sure they all can answer the question of using it while ur at a red light - but yes you can use the e-brake on automatics as well.

 

If the car rolls with your parking brake fully set and you aren't in gear (P or N -- note N is illegal) you should readjust the parking brake. Do not set the parking brake when you are in gear (D/S/R) -- you'll be putting undue strain on your brakes, especially if the car rolls. You really shouldn't be stopping with your hand brake alone at a red light though -- it won't light up your brake lights, and your rear brakes under cable tension alone will not be enough to prevent you from rolling into the next car (or worse, into the intersection) if you get rear-ended.
