Release from Park
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 'Release from Park' function and automatically release the parking brake if the gear selector is moved from P (park) to any position except N (neutral).
NOTE:
A 'between gears' positioning of the gear selector level will not initiate 'Release from Park'.
