Had this happen for the first time today. Yellow warning. I turned the engine off and back on and the message was gone. Was unable to move while the warning was on. Probably should have taken a pic. Sharing incase anyone else is having a probem as well.

Mine did this a few times before. It is almost as if the car was confused.

in general love the tech in the 991 GT3 and the driving experience of the pdk, but the electric parking brake drives me nuts!

The car is confused? Damn that electronic handbrake has me confused almost every time I reach for it LOL! Hate it.

Push, pull. Which is it? Is it on or off?

Me too. Don't even put your car in gear before closing the door..

^^^That's what my wife did. She said that's it, I'm not driving this car again. Hell, she was just in the driveway. I guess not a bad thing, don't have to worry about her ever wanting the keys.

And for the love of god don't open door while driving by to grab newspaper at end of driveway from drivers seat!!! And yes I'm 40 years old and still get a traditional newspaper....even my retired neighbors flame me while showing me how I can get news "digitally" now.

The "open door while car in gear-automatic parking brake" is a government safety thing. Nothing you can do about that.

Really? Please give me more details, I might need to turn in quite a few car manufacturers. I can name several new 2014,2015, and 2016 cars that don't set parking brake when I open my door while stopped but in drive?

I believe this is a German car manufacturer thing....I don't see any U.S. Government requirement for it

My friend's 428XI BMW does the same thing. Really annoying IMO! In NYC there's no way to keep your rims clean when parallel parking on the driver's side. For the passenger side you at least have the side mirror tilting down so you can see the curb. Perhaps they should have the driver's side mirror do the same thing.

I get that a manual parking brake might not integrate well with the center console in the 991 but still.....

The EPB is one of the very few things that bug me about my car and by far the worst part is the parking brake/door relationship. What a PITA. If that could be fixed, I could live with it easier. Not as bad as my wife's BMW i3 though, where it is literally impossible to have the electric drive engaged or even in standby with the door open.

Made me laugh- same issue. Took me 5 min to figure this out.

I do actually like the electronic brake, could save some idiot from doing something stupid like driving with the door open

Only place E-Brake and E-Steering belong are in the engineering trash bin AFAIK.
