The jambed parking pawl on my Esquire has embarrassed me on several occasions until Randy and OD convinced me that using Neutral and a properly set up parking brake was the sure way to go. My Executive still is wired for the Auto Park function and I find it a PITA if I am moving back and forth between them or have an iffy battery. Some winter day when I am bored I will disable the Auto Park function. I will still avoid parking both on steep inclines and continue to carry a set of wheel checks, just in case.
