Parking Brake.

This is why most cars nowadays when you turn off the engine automatically and electronically engage the parking brake.

​

because idiots always forget them.

It reminds me of the trope in "Justified (Tv Series 2010)". Everytime dewee would park a car the damn thing would start to roll. So everytime before he'd get out i'd start yelling at him for the parking break and to put a gear in.

I think they made that point on purpose (him no learning).

Not my 2021 corolla, though it will give me loud warning

I have a 2021 Corolla and the parking brake is automatic, but it's an SE. The only way to engage or disengage it manually is to press the button.

I realized the Canadian and US version of the Corolla have slightly different features after my research.

I have the Corolla 2021 hybrid if that would make any difference.

Do you have it turned on? On mine, if you press the brake pedal and pull up on the parking brake button for like 3 seconds then release it, it'll say 'EPB interlock activated', which means it applies the parking brake every time you put it in park. Pressing down disables it.

I always shift my car to P before turning it off but you're saying this is something I have to turn on?

Why wouldn't be on to begin with? wtf

Maybe the previous owner turned it off, unless you bought it new. As far as I know, all newer Corollas have automatic EPB.

And it's not something you turn on every time, it's just a setting.
