Nothing unless you pull and hold. Then it acts as an emergency brake. I believe thats in the manual.

I believe you have to push and hold for the car to shut off. That I have not tried.

IIRC TFM says if you pull and hold it even while moving then the e-brake engages as an e-brake (rather than a parking brake).

I haven't tried any of these

but ...

Start/Stop Engine Button:
This was interesting - the engine turns off only when braking and traveling under 10km/h. Read this in my manual.
"what happens if you press the Start/Stop button whilst your driving? - A5_OC"

E-brake (from the manual):
If you pull out and hold the parking brake switch at a road speed above about 8 km/h, this will initiate an emergency brake application. The brakes are then applied hydraulically at all four wheels. The effect is the same as an emergency stop (full brake application).
To prevent the emergency braking function from being used accidentally, a warning buzzer sounds when the switch is operated. The brakes are released immediately when you release the switch or press down the accelerator.
