Re: Parking brake
My RS4 never did it, however the loaner 19 plate A6 (barge) does apply the handbrake the moment you hit the park button.

Re: Parking brake
The handbrake engages when you lift the button upwards.
Pressing disengages. I hope this is what you mean and I'm not just being pedantic

Re: Parking brake
the reason i asked was that in my B8 RS4 when you put the car into park it automatically engaged the hand brake but not so on the B9 just wanted to check this was normal

Re: Parking brake
oops than I misread the original post.
No, park does not engage the handbrake on my F5 RS5 (equivalent to B9 RS4).
I often feel the car move an inch or so while the park pawl engages after I release the foot brake when getting out.

Re: Parking brake
Correct.
But if you engage auto hold (if you have that option) it will activate the parking brake after you shut down the car.
