Hi

 

My Superb L&K has an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) as a lot of cars do. When the vehicle is in motion and the driver's door is opened (think of backing into a parking space & opening the door so as not to wang the alloys on the kerb or to line up parallel with the white line) the EPB engages smacking your nose on the steering wheel because you've leant forward to peer out the open door.

 

First time it happened it scared the £"£$ out of me! Anyway is there a way to disable this feature in VCDS or change the speed at which it engages?

 

Thanks in advance.

I believe so.... however I have yet to come across a Security Access code that works for this adaptation. 

You should be able to open the door, then with foot on foot brake, release the EPB. If you select gear prior to releasing the brake that should also work. Can't remember if I had to turn the ESP off or not...but keep trying as it is probably in there.

 

I know it could be done on my 2016 Superb SE L without programming. I also discovered that opening the door hurts also like a b£@&h when you are not expecting it to stop! 

 

Unfortunately, I can not go out and check for you as I now drive a 2017 Ford Shiπ€MAX.... We had a 3rd sproglet and discovered (much to my horror) that 3 childseats do not fit so well in the Superb when they are ISOFIX! That was a very bad day.

 

My Ford is an "almost" good car, but it appears that the product development team didn't finish the job, or decided about 6mths before they signed it off as ready for production! I miss my Superb.
