I looked in the Owners Manual and it doesn't look like the Plaid has an Emergency Brake like our older cars where you press the park button on the shifter stalk and hold it in for as long as you wish the emergency brakes to be applied to the rotors. I thought this was mandatory, but maybe things have changed and newer cars don't need it. Or maybe one has to open the "gear" shifter on the main screen and then press the P button.
