Starting the car- I'm almost embarrassed to ask

If you foot is on the break, one press starts the car. How do you know it is not? Did you press D or R then try to drive before the second press of the start button?

I do have a question. When I first get into the car and put my foot on the break, most time the break pedal is very stiff and only after press the start button then my foot can apply the pressure to press the break pedal down. But other time I can apply the break normally before pressing the start button. Did you all have the same experience? Is this normal and why? Thanks.
I was going to ask about the brake pedal. Most of the time my brake pedal pedal feels normal (soft in a good way), but randomly the pedal will be rock hard when starting. I always think it won't start, since the brake pedal is so hard, I physically cannot push it down....but it starts.

Btw, when I put my foot on the brake, it takes 1 push only of the start button to start the car. I have NEVER once had to push the Start button 2x to start my I-Pace.
 
I remember years ago when Jaguar introduced the Heart Beat Start button. They actually had a TV commercial. Gimmicky but cool. Even more gimmicky...our Audi R8 has an actual heartbeat sound/tone piped in the car. Silly, but fun!
 
Press the break and firmly press the start button, you will hear a different chime .
Its best for the infotainment to fully boot before moving, especially reversing.
A way to help it boot faster is to unlock with the key instead of pressing the button on the handle. It is also said that opening the passenger door first will help the boot time.

You have the 360 camera option so booting fully is essential.
If you turn on the car and just reverse, you wont get the full 360 camera function.

PS If you notice the Start button is pulsing like a heart beat before you turn on the car
I have 360 camera, but when I put into R...I get the main pic on the left with the yellow lines, I get the pic on the far right, but I have never gotten the top view.

So I am stumped! I have 360 Cameras, and I can activate it when parked or when stopped, but when I put my I-Pace in Reverse, I have no 360 view and the option to activate it is not available. When I take my car out of R, the option to activate and view 360 is there.

Any ideas? Thanks.
