2021 Defender Park button

[Landman]

Does anyone know what may happen if say, a child in the front passenger seat were to accidentally press the Park button while the vehicle was traveling at 25 mph or above?
Does the brake pedal have to be fully pressed before this allows the tranny to engage into park mode. The kids have long left the nest but due to the buttons location this kinda freaks me out just thinking about it. Haven't had a chance to ask a tech about it but would like a little insight on that possibility.

There was a program, cana mind if it was TG, but that same question was asked. Showed them pressing the button but nothing happened, till it was placed into park. What does the owners manual say? Iam sure if you do a good Google search all will be revealed. Good luck on your quest.

I'll go thru the owners manual again and Google on it also. Thanks for the reply, if I get the answer I'll post it for all to ponder on.

Ok, from what I can make of it, pressing and releasing the park button at any speed over 3 mph will only set off an alarm on the instrument panel. Pressing and holding the button will apply a constant braking force until the vehicle comes to a stop which then allows it to set the parking gear at a complete stop so as to not damage the parking pawl in the tranny. Applying it under 2 or 3 mph will cause it to basically lock up the rear end and stop abruptly, which you shouldn't attempt to do on solid pavement. At any rate I still don't want to experiment with this design.
