Also....I hate to be "that" guy.... but...I had an uncle that fell out of a car and ran over himself, it killed him... he was drunk, but still...I never knew him that I can remember, happened when I was about 2 years old.

I understand that auto park can be a pain, but it might also be useful sometimes.

Like I said....I never knew him.... happened in 1975... but I've heard the story many times.

I was just pointing out that it can happen.

I don't have any decal on shift dial, but unfortunately I've got the auto park update.
Yes, its a pain in the ass when you need to open the door while backing up.
For example you are not wearing your seatbelt and you put it in reverse with the door open the display will tell you door is open and to place gear selector in park. Truck will not move in this situation.
With extreme caution you can override it by buckling the seatbelt behind you, then put it in reverse then open the door and backup as needed. Like suggested only use caution when doing this and only when needed in extenuating circumstances

Thanks for the tip! I will avoid putting a display cap on my shift knob. I had never thought about it getting misaligned by shutting off the engine while in drive. I have occasionally done that and it jumped to park and I presume the knob didn't move. Doesn't matter unless you have a cap with an oriented display.

No lie...my M-I-L has run herself over TWICE in her Jeep Liberty. In her case, she parks (or should I say "stops") on a slight incline, and due to her general ditzy-ness and always being in a rush, she shuts the Jeep off then opens the door to get out without putting the Jeep in Park. Both times the Jeep rolled back and she got knocked to the ground by the door. One time the front wheel missed her, the other time it was cut right and rolled right over her midsection. Unbelievable that she escaped serious injury both times - although she did end up in the hospital when the tire went over her. I tell my wife that this woman is like a cockroach. Almost impossible to kill and will probably outlive both of us. LOL!
