Re: Question about transmission and "park"
Since I haven't had one apart (yet) I am not 100% sure how the rear disc brakes on the FEH work as far as the parking brake goes.
On earlier cars that had the rear disc brakes, brake adjustment was made by use of the parking brake. I got in the habit of using the parking brake when I used to drive a '77 Fleetwood Cadillac. Until then I never used the parking brake on a car with an automatic transmission.
As to the original question, I think the eCVT in the FEH has to work the same way as any other "automatic" transmission out there - it has to have a mechanical means of stopping the car from rolling. I wouldn't trust it on a steep hill but I wouldn't trust park in any other care either.
