You nailed some of the reasons. I've seen vehicles totaled because someone got out and was so sure they had moved that lever and it was in park - only to get out and the car backed onto a highway and was hit. Odd how people scoff at how something can save lives and properties when at worst it's an inconvenience to them. What's more important? Someone to not be annoyed or some kid get killed? But then everyone is a perfect driver and never ever ever makes a mistake, (just ask 'em) so these things are obviously totally unnecessary.
Next time open your window.
I was thinking the same thing. I've stepped out of my vehicle with it in gear.
You probably should. At minimum skim it then.
That is part of the programming. It monitors the seat belt and the weight sensor.
It's to save your butt from falling out and being run over or otherwise killed by your own car.
Yes, familiar with it from reading before I bought.... Was just surprised it happened buckled in..
It's in here. Easy to search within the thread.
Next time, you could try leaving it in Park and put the Transfer Case in Neutral.While we are having fun here...
I got told by the car wash guys that i need to exit the vehicle while it rolls through there. Some new safety rule...
So put the car into neutral, got out, obviously goes into auto park locking up the slider that directs the car through the wash. I have not tried buckling, but assume the seat sensor will still prevent it.
The guys stressed out as I told them it is on them if they mess up the vehicle (I have been at their chain plenty of times and their product is great, just never been at that location and it is an older station. I assume that is why they need to ask people to get out due to it not having an emergency exit) and they let me jump in and go through with it.
They were not amused, I was not amused... the truck was clean atleast
yeah yeah, I know, should have taken the doors off
