What does it mean if the parking brake is not released before starting the vehicle?

Selecting "Control - Bad" is suitable because failing to release the parking brake before starting the vehicle can lead to several negative outcomes. When the parking brake is engaged, it restricts the vehicle's ability to roll or move freely.

If the vehicle is started with the parking brake still on, it may cause the brakes to overheat due to friction, leading to potential brake failure. This situation also places additional stress on the braking system and can negatively affect vehicle control if the driver attempts to drive with the brake engaged.

Furthermore, starting the vehicle in this condition can confuse the driver, as the usual response and feel of the vehicle will be altered. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure the parking brake is disengaged prior to starting the vehicle to maintain optimal control, safety, and functionality.
