Hi all. I have Jaguar XF 2.0 2013.
My daughter would like to get driving licence. For this she can pass theory test and get a learner's licence. With learner's licence she can drive with someone experienced (like me)) on the passenger seat. However, there are the following requirements to the car:
– the electric handbrake must work while the car is moving;
– the electric handbrake must also work when the accelerator is pressed;
– the braking action must not be interrupted by use of the accelerator;
– the braking action of the electric handbrake must be calibratable and graduated.
Do you know if Jaguar's EPB satisfies them all? I don't dare testing them...

 

I know that the handbrake works when the car is moving, I always put the handbrake on when stationary in a cue of traffic because sometimes i put it on before the car has stopped, you get a Red message come up on the dash and a sound that you've done it, I've never really suffered any after effects from it

 

Yes. All of the above.

 

Thanks a lot!

 

As well as the park brake it's the emergency one, so of course it can operate when moving.

(In the UK it's tested during an MoT on a kind of rolling road.)
