Auto Handbrake when parked

How to make the parking brake get engaged automatically when I shift to P and lock the car.

I find this very poor design as its not a constant feature of the car,below is from handbook.

Depending on the stopping situation, the park‐
ing brake is engaged automatically.
Steptronic transmission: In some parking sit‐
uations, the parking brake is automatically en‐
gaged, when selector lever position P is en‐
gaged. In these cases, the parking brake is
released automatically when you leave the se‐
lector lever position P.

Reviving an old thread. Just got an X1 to use as a daily instead of the X5M and totally agree with this.

The inconsistency with the park brake is not great and is probably a bit unsafe to be honest, is there a way to code it one way or the other?

Also, why is the manual so vague - what are the 'some parking situations' where it will activate? Why not all parking situations?

I found it's related to the surface/road. If it's flat, then it won't automatically engage the parking brake. If, however, the surface has some inclination, then it will engage it.

Thanks for the info. That's what I thought too. I'll keep looking to see if there is a way to code this one way or another.

In BMW is not possible, because havenīt option. In other brands exemple Renault,VW have a botton called "auto hold", that in this case doesnīt exist

It's not auto-hold that I'm talking about.

The X1 automatically applies the park brake if parked on an incline (and auto disables it when leaving, I think) I'm looking into the coding of this so it always automatically applies, regardless of incline, or never automatically applies when parked.
