That could very well be true, but it is not what I understood from the owner's manual. The caution in the manual is that releasing the park brake does not fix a fault, it just releases it. If the actuator had failed, it would take a trip to the dealer. If it was simply frozen, releasing it may solve the problem.
Based on the chance that it could require a trip to the dealer, I suggest that E70 owners familiarize themselves with the release mechanism, without activating it (unless you are at the dealer and get confirmation that it is safe to do so).
Thanks for the clarification.
