With the electronic brake, the only sense you can use to tell whether it is set is your eyes by looking at the dash. You really have to flick the electonic switch up hard to make sure it sets. I have had several times where I didn't lift the button high enough and it didn't engage. I might be alone in this, but I would like an audible ratcheting sound with the electronic brake coming through the speakers.

If you shut your car off before you set it you can hear the motor engaging it.
