With redundant brake circuits, modern materials, and proper fluid changes, maintenance, hydraulic brake failure has to be about as rare as a left-handed smoke shifter. Stability controls aside, yanking on the hand brake could lead to a bootleg turn.
Start Stop seems Stupid. Given that, the system will run AC, etc., unless there's an electrical state of charge or temperature issue. There's something about this on the Microsite.
