Different autos require divers combinations of finger on trigger and foot on brake to move into or out of P or N. The Volvo one is especially nannyish, insisting on the brake to select anything but D, or even to get out of N and into D. That means a flash of brake lights before you move off - hardly conducive to looking smooth and in control, but better than the reversing lights some autos flash.
The Mercedes auto is better in this respect. It would be perfect if the brake hold feature extinguished the brake lights once engaged.
