Default Hitting brakes while starting

I noticed if for some reason you have your foot on the brake while starting your disco sometimes you get the 3 amigos
when you start your truck you hear the I'm guessing the shutter valves but if your foot is on the brakes it interrupts that process.
Just thought I would share this

I've hardly ever started a vehicle without putting my foot on the brakes. Maybe a hand full of times from outside the vehicle, but I can't think of a single time from inside the vehicle.

Really interesting info. Is be curious to see if that's unique to your truck or common among others.

My 3 amigos tend to pop up when I’m driving. Not when I start my Disco.

Same as Alex, by force of habit I always have my foot on the brake when starting any vehicle. It's a safety precaution in case it's in gear or if the shift interlock has malfunctioned.
Never had the 3 Amigos appear on either of my D2s, with any of the three SLABS units I have used in them.
