Emergency brake question
I heard that if you start driving with the emergency brake on you get a warning sound. I put my car in reverse and just started moving before I realized that I had the emergency brake on and I diidn't hear anything. |

Where did you "hear" this.....did you perhaps read it, like, in the owners manual? I have no idea, but then again, have never put a car in motion with the parking brake on, so, I have no idea....just sayin'

You will get an audio warning if you drive with the parking brake on.
|
What's the gap between starting to move, and the audio warning?
I've never heard it. But the few times I've started to go, and noticed the Emergency Brake was on, I almost immediately release it. So I suppose it could have a warning signal but I've always caught myself before it sounde |
it takes a second or two to kick in ... if you want to hear what it sounds like, hold down the button and raise the handle slightly, it doesn't take much.
|
It will beep, but it's very faint.

Hand brake turn in the snow and it will come on :)

Real answer: I think you have to go above a certain speed before the warning beeper starts talking to you. On my Civic it's something like around 4 MPH. FWIW I lift my handbrake just one click before I turn the key on so the DRLs don't turn on in my garage and driveway. Once I'm on the road I put the parking brake handle all the way down. |
My 2015 Fit would talk "Please release the parking brake".
It was the same voice that would say "please fasten driver seat belt" if I pulled out of my garage unbuckled. |

I know I have on very rare occasion just started to move and noticed my parking brake was on, but I notice because of the feel of the vehicle. Maybe in those incidences I was releasing the brake fast enough to stop the alarm? Because I don't remember getting any warning beep. But it is possible it was drowned out by the radio, outside noise, or so quick and subtle I didn't notice it. |
yah just gently pull up while moving forward to test. it should beep.

Hmm, strange. I only hear that noise on the sharper corners... 😂

I used to drive with the parking brake on (former car) all the time. I did not know how else to disable the daytime running lights. Luckily no warning lights.

Surely you jest. Like all the time. Right? |
Well, I tried the test. I heard nothing.

I have no idea what it was called. Maybe Voice Reminder or something. But it turned on/off the spoken seat belt and e brake alerts. |
