When I have been driving hard I do not set the ebrake and just leave it in park so I would not want it to automatically engage - perhaps it is designed not to set automatically so you have the option

On a track car after a hot session, you DON'T want to set the e-brake when entering the pit or paddock area until the rotors have cooled off a bit. My guess is this is the reason Porsche requires setting the e-brake manually.

I don't have my 992 MT yet, but on my 997 MT I set the handbrake every time I park, so it is not relying on the transmission to hold the car, and it could then roll. I know automatic transmission is different, but I would hope that e brake automatically engages on the MT model.

Agree with this. Every track training session I have attended, the instructors say the same.

Mea culpa: I have info that shows what you are saying John to be correct. To answer the OP's question, the system does need to be manually actuated and is not designed to deploy automatically, but it's not pressing pads against the rotors...there are two separate systems.

Me too learned something new - interestingly if I drive up to a card swipe entry garage and open the door to increase my lean and am still in gear. the e-brake automatically deploys at that point.
So what is the mechanics of purposefully or accidentally pulling the ebrake as a supplemental stopping maneuver ?

So I tried this today...

In gear, I opened the door and the e brake did not engage. Am I missing something? Mine is a 2021 btw. Short of engaging it manually it doesn’t work anywhere else.
weird

So let me say that was in my Boxster, I do not know what the 992 does in that situation but I would assume it would be the same thing. I will let you know later this week when I get it
