Default Parking Brake

Just picked up my new A7 today.

I've noticed that every time I put the car in Park and turn the car off, the electronic parking brake comes on automatically.

Then, when I start the car, I have to manually disengage the parking brake.

Surely this isn't supposed to be like this.

Is there a setting I can change?

Thanks!

As long as you have your seat belt on you just start driving (forward or backward) it will automaticay release. You have to release it if you do not put your seat belt on. I've found no way to change it.
