Shutting down the car on drive mode

[Alistar]

Today I forgot to put the car in "Parking" mode before shutting it down. The auto brake option when car is stopped make it looks that is in parking. Glad to see Ford thought about it, the electronic parking brake went on and the rotary shift dial went to "parking" by itself. I hope this mistake doesn't damage my transmission ?

When we did a test drive the salesman showed us that as a feature. Ford must have know that would happen and built that into the software.

For fun, try opening the driver's door with the engine running and the transmission in DRIVE. The nanny doesn't much like it when you do that...
