Can someone explain correct procedure for parking and putting electronic parking brake on please? Also not sure exactly how auto hold works! New to EVs and sort of winged it driving our e-niro home today!

Auto hold (once enabled by pressing the button) will automatically hold the foot brake when you come to a stop. This means you can take your foot off the brake pedal at traffic lights for example.
To drive again just accelerate.
The parking brake is another button on your console and can be enabled when you are parked or on a steep hill start if you need it.
To disengage just drive or flip the button in the opposite direction to what enabled it.

Thanks! So when i’ve parked, press the P button then pull the parking brake and switch the car off?
I don’t collect mine until Wednesday so I’ll update if anything changes in reality [emoji23]
My experience with electronic park brakes in general across a Renault and Mercedes is that once the car is parked or turned off it will auto apply the park brake if the car thinks it needs to based on the level of the car.

On parking I’ve two questions and grateful for any advice.
Is there a way of turning on parking sensors automatically when going forward into a space? I find it worryingly inconsistent that the parking sensors only turn on when reverse is engaged. My previous car with parking sensors was engaged when driving under 10mph.
I’m sure I read somewhere that when reversing the mirrors would automatically tilt down, like they do in Teslas. I’ve not been able to find how to turn this on. Was I dreaming it???

@RobertENiro Front sensors are on at low speeds, they beep at me when coming out of the drive.
@RestlessC Auto hold has to be turned on each time you start up, there's been comments about it with the Kona as well.

I had noticed (in the Kona) that the handbrake didn’t always engage automatically. After experimenting I then thought the parking brake engaged automatically only if you powered down with you foot on the brake. I always drive with autohold engaged though so might need to experiment further. Or perhaps read the handbook.
Has anyone got the definitive answer on this? So far, I have not found any sequence that applies the parking brake.
