Electric Brakes function

Ser #1A120646
this unit has electric park brake which applies about 6 seconds after release of dead man. Should the breaks apply immediately once the dead man is released?

smooth stopping is done by "plugging", emergency stopping is done by removing your foot from the "dead man".

brake should apply as soon as the foot is off the dead man.
unit should not travel more than it's length, after removing foot from deadman.
