On our fleet, limitation for autopilot disengagement was “applicable minimums”. It was changed to 250’ a while ago.
By the way, on older aircraft if you enter a baro minima instead a radio one on an ILS approach the minima box will read “MDA” which is wrong for a precision approach, so don’t trust Airbus word by word.
Regarding the parking brake, I just checked my FCOM and it says the response is off/on, even when communicating with ground crew. I hate to nitpick over banalities such as brakes set/on (there are things far more important and relevant that are misunderstood or done incorrectly on a daily basis), but if I may join, on the pedestal writing it says “off/on”. So guess what?
