why does my car say shift to park message
Posted: Aug 21, 2024 (1 month ago)
Could be faulty microswitch in the shifter assembly.
Another suggested solution
" On occasion, i'll put the gearlever in Park and press the Stop button, the engine will turn off but i then get a 'Place gearlever in park' message and the warning noise bonging away at me. It sometimes takes two or three Start / Stops before it all turns off as normal. Anyone else experienced this issue? "
" Yep I get this, you will need to make sure the car has settled in the park mode before applying the handbrake if you know what I mean! meaning if you park up, maybe on a slight incline with having your foot on the brake, then immediately stick your handbrake on, then turn off the engine you seem to get this message!
Hope that helps, took me months to figure it out!
