Good to know, but not in the Owner's Manual. Good Youtube video, but how and where did they get the info? What other necessary or nice info is missing from the Owner's Manual? I remember getting a "corrected" set of Owner's Manuals for an earlier Honda CRV because they were incomplete and/or inaccurate. My GLC 300 has an automatic parking brake that to my knowledge I can't disable. It however will release when you push the accelerator or the parking button.

It works but setting the parking brake after Park is engaged defeats the purpose of the parking brake.

A car is held in “park” by a device inside the transmission called a parking pawl. The parking pawl can break or become dislodged and the car will roll away. Granted, there is a low chance this will occur, but there is a chance nonetheless.
The parking brake will hold the car in place while it is parked and will help protect the transaxle, constant velocity joints, and transmission. A parking brake is capable of a stronger hold than only putting the car in “park”. Of course, you still need to put the car in “park”. Additionally, if your car was hit while parked, the parking brake would provide further stability, lessening the risk of your car rolling away.
You should set the parking brake while your foot is still on the brake pedal and before shifting into “park”. This reduces the strain on the parking pawl.

I have always set my parking brake before placing the vehicle in park. Drivers Ed 101 from high school. Just wanted to try out the Auto PB feature. I’ll keep doing the way I learned.
