Parking brake on door open?

[danthe88]

Guys, are you aware of any third-party mods or features that could potentially activate the parking brake when the driver’s door opens?

Before my 2019 XC60 T6, I had a BMW X4 F26 that had a shift-by-wire feature and an awesome option to automatically shift to “P” if the driver opened the door.

A couple of days ago, I witnessed a car crash in front of me and rushed to help. However, in my hurry, I forgot to put my Volvo into “P” or activate the parking brake, almost causing another accident. This made me wonder why there’s no safety option for this in our Volvo.

I can’t help but think that I’m not the only one who’s had this issue.

What do you mean you forgot to put the gear in "P" ? did you leave your car in D then or in "N" ? 
You can use hill assist function. (A) button where the parking brake is. Enable it, whenever you stop, it engages brakes. If you leave it long enough engaged,  the car turns on the parking brake itself and (A) disengages.
