Yet from the ZF document "Functional description 6HP26" Page 22 "The parking lock is a device that prevents the vehicle from rolling away out of control."Quote:

So not sure if I've missed something here folks but ...
MY13 D4 SE (the one I own) you cannot stop the car going into Park once you turn the engine off. I just tested this .... Reverse selected, Drive selected......slight delay.... then the transmission selector indicates that it has now selected Park. Dash display indicates the same.
