2. Remote starting the car sets the park brake by default. If you do not manually disengage the park brake before moving, you will feel this same friction as the car starts moving and the parking brake disengages.
I leave auto hold on always the same as I did in last 2 cars, just if you don't have foot on brake as well sometimes feels a bit lurchy when you tun off the engine or open the door.
