Within a few seconds, various warning lights appeared on the dashboard, including messages such as One-Pedal Driving Unavailable, Brake Assist Off, Auto-Hold Unavailable, and Steering Assist is Reduced - Drive with Care. …”

SAFETY: 1) When descending mountain roads the stop lamps remain illuminated for extended periods of time. In some cases the stop lamps remain illuminated for hundreds or thousands of feet after the brake controls have been released. In these situations the vehicle is now coasting downhill and NOT decelerating. …”
