Stomp to Start?

Stomp to Start?
Normally my new-to-me 2013 XKR-S will start with just light pressure on the brake pedal. This afternoon, after sitting in the garage for a week, CTEK connected, the ignition and lights would come on, but it would not attempt to crank. I read on another Jag forum that a heavy press may be required. I pushed hard with both feet and it started normally. After running, it will restart with light pedal pressure. I assume the electronics are looking for a certain amount of hydraulic pressure, not just the brake pedal position switch to be closed. Have others encountered this feature?

Press and hold the start button in BEFORE you put your foot on the brake pedal. My XKR starts every time with a light tap of the brake pedal.
