I feels as if, just a fraction of a second before the car comes to a complete stop, auto breaking engages and completes the last bit of breaking a bit too quickly. Resulting in a shaky stop 
This is doesn't seem to happen if I disable auto-breaking but then I don't get auto-hold on an uphill road.
Been driving only for a day so it can be my muscle memory but wife felt the same issue as well hence I wanted to check with you guys.
Has anyone experienced something similar ? Could it be a setting that needs adjusting (breaking under individual profile is set to Normal, instead of Dynamic, which I think the default). Could this be a fault ? |
I have had a MY20 XC40 for a couple of months now and don't use the auto parking brake function as it's a real pain when manoeuvring - very jerky. I also switch off engine start/stop because you have to keep your foot on the brake to keep it stopped. I also switch off collision prevention as it is too sensitive. Why do manufacturers think we want all this technology?
