Optionally you can apply the handbrake and just press the accelerator to release - no need to depress the handbrake button to release. Ref loss of night vision -I don't believe it's possible with red light due to the way the rods in your retina work. Dazzled maybe but no loss of night vision.

Mine (2014) has a mind of its own, sometimes I can just drive off, other times it won't let me!!
May be to do with how the handbrake is applied, if you use auto hold and switch off the car, the handbrake is automatically applied, perhaps in this situation you can release by driving off. When you apply the handbrake deliberately yourself then try to drive off perhaps this is when it won't let you, perhaps this is when it has to be released manually.....just guessing....haven't experimented yet |

Mine definitely releases when I depress the accelerator even on start up in the morning. I have had the odd occasion when the car doesn't allow it.

The above the OP is making, I don't either. I use auto hold all the time, fantastic feature, and would prefer the lights to be off as standard, and then if a car roars up behind me, I can tap the brake pedal as often as I want to to warn them I am thee, like I have done for the 20 years of driving prior to the F10!!!!

I suspect I'm going to spend a lot of this evening sat in my car trying to work out why this didn't work last night. My neighbours already think I'm unhealthily car-obsessed because I wash it by hand. |

I've never had an issue with brake lights on on the car in front. I don't purposefully look at them once i've stopped though, but I always notice when they go out. I actually use this
in traffic so I know when he's ready to move and I can get ready too. |

Unless the guy in front had just put his handbrake on in which case he might finish up with a BMW in his boot

Interesting convo here as I only use it when a train is crossing but never thought about whether or not the brake lights are on?
