I'm sure it does, maybe it's only in Neutral, or maybe it's a software level thing. I'll have a play later and find out The End

The handbrake automatically releases when in any drive gear (auto) if you apply power. It's so you can do a hill start without all the faffing....works lovely !

When in Neutral and Park you have to apply the footbrake before it will release.

Should do the same in a manual when you raise the clutch and apply power surely ?? 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

BTW It does not always automatically release when in any drive gear when power is applied. This will usually occur when you are about to descend a very steep slippy incline. Embarassed In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
