    Hello,

    Just got my Prius last week. I accidentally turned the car off without pushing the park button first. While doing it, I noticed that it seems to put the car in park for me and then shuts off.

    Anybody else notice this and anyone know if this is ok for the car?

    If so, then it seems like driving the Prius got even easier!

    yes, it's fine.
    the only time I've ever used the park button is when I'm sitting at a drive-thru ATM.
