Plus there's those times when you want to set the climate and if you open the door the prompt goes away (even though I have it programmed as a shortcut). When i do remember, I pull the parking brake and hit the start stop button which also puts the tranny in P. Still preserving the climate thingy, and doesnt cut stereo allowing to finishing up a track if its a good song ! I just really wanna know how the mechanism works, because there's a disturbing rollback when forgetting to engage P brake. But at the same time, there's no jolt, or any other mechanical/physical sensation when shifting back out of park after forgetting the P brake.</blockquote>
