Scenario you are working your way into a small parking spot with things to hit in front and behind.
You are changing from forward to reverse as you do so. After a few transitions you select forward (or reverse). You know you have space to move as you had just inched up tight with the other gear.
Car fails to change gear but instead flashes up a message and a ding sound to let you know you need to press the break and to change the gear again.
If you did not notice this msg you are now in the gear you were in before trying to change gear expecting to move backwards into space but instead you go forward right into the wall you had inched up to.
I have not actually hit anything yet but I intensely dislike the variation in behavior you get from changing gear.
If I select a gear and it works by selecting it 4 times I do not expect it to fail the 5th. This is especially odd as we are using opd and so there is no need to go to the break pedal.
Has anyone else:
A. Had this problem
B. Hit anything due to it
C. Know the exact circumstances that triggers the break pedal being needed
D. Know how I can remove this behavior
Thanks
