Not really, it applies the brakes just like you would doing a controlled stop with the footbrake. The ABS kicks in if necessary too. I tried this on my wife's C4 Grand Picasso on a quiet, gravel road to see what exactly the car would do.

When the car stopped then the parking brake was applied as expected.

I have not tested it with my S60. I would hope there'd be a standard for this.
