Drive Away Release
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jaguar XKR, 2011 Jaguar XK, 2010 Jaguar XKR, and 2010 Jaguar XK. 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 controller area network (CAN) bus from the gear selector module and the engine control module (ECM) respectively.
