Drive Away Release
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The parking brake control module will initiate its 'Drive Away Release' function and automatically release the parking brake if the following conditions are detected:
- The engine is running
- D (drive), or R (reverse) is selected
- Positive throttle movement is detected
The control module receives messages of gear selector lever position and throttle angle over the high speed CAN bus from the gear selector module and the ECM (engine control module) respectively.
