I4 Shifting & Park ?

[harleyujoe]

So I see most reviewers complain about shifter..
Does the shifter shift into Park for do you have to hit Park Button all the time
and use release park down near footwell every time you drive it ??

I press the park button myself, I seem to remember a message to do so if you don’t. It has now become a reflex, so I never think I about it tbh.

I have never bothered to wait for it to it, I always do it myself and use the electric handbrake

But does it self release when you drive away ?

The park brake automatically applies itself when you turn the car off and automatically releases itself when you drive off. Should be no reason for you to apply it manually unless you are parked on a slop and want to sit with the car in neutral.

The only time I release it manually is after I have washed it and put it away without driving it. As the pads seem to bind themselves to the discs when wet. Very common with metallic compound pads.
