    Question RE: Electric Park Brake

    This is my first post since purchasing a D4 2.7l just before Christmas.
    My issue is with the Electric Parking Brake. Until today, the EPB came on automatically once the car was put in Park and the ignition was swithced off and was on the next time the car was started . I never manually applied the EPB. However, after I got my car back from having the windows tinted today the car does not automatically apply the EPB anymore - it must now be manually applied. I assumed the guys at the tint shop played with the EPD and somehow altered the setting. I spoke to the LR dealer and they said the car shouldn’t apply the EPB automatically anyway - which seems odd since it has been doing it for 2 months. Has anyone experienced this before and is there a way to switch it back on. I came across some info on page 90 of the manual, but it doesn’t suggest how to turn it on.

    Hi Chris,

    Not sure how it works, as we have always applied and released our handbrake manually. Try reposting this under the D3/D4 channel. The right people will see it then.
