Notice that it says "before" you shift into Park. I've gotten into the habit of shifting into Neutral, set the brake, and then put it into Park. |
Hmm, that's interesting. I've never heard of that before but maybe I'll try it.
I use mine once in a while but I'm not sure how you guys can drive off with it on. On my dashboard I get an indicator light that shows me I have it on and I always check the dash before I reverse out of my driveway.
I have always wanted to pull it up and do a turn while driving. lol Just to see what would happen but of course I never would.
