While the auto park can be annoying, it actually helped me out the other night.
I needed to go to CVS to pick up a few things, and I asked my wife to ride with me. We got there, and she wanted to stay in the truck with it running to stay warm, so I set the parking brake and went in.
I was inside appx 15 minutes or so. Came back out, got into the truck, then reached down ro turn the dial to reverse. You know the rest....The dial was pointing to D, and the light was flashing.
I'm still getting used to this rotary knob thing, and I've only driven this truck less then 4k miles since I've had it. Jury is still out on if I will learn to love it or not.
Anyway, the truck had shifted to park, and the trans fluid was normal temperature. I hate to think how hot it may have gotten if I had let it idle in gear that long.
So, here is an instance where auto park was a very good thing.
