You know it is all outlined in the manual right? Could have save countless hours of insomnia.

Force is 100% correct as I can verify. Once when I had a car accident I then pulled the car off the road and was so flustered I hit the park button when it was still rolling maybe 2-3 miles an hour and it engaged and wasn't good. Didn't do any damage apparently though.
