There should be an easy way to test if the car is in park - turn off the car and leave the headlights and key in. Now open the door and see if the car beeps and tells you to turn off the lights and/or remove the key. If it does, it obviously detected that the car is in park

My car has the standard benz shift P R N D 4 3 2 1 which is a pain to use. The clk is the first automatic car i've owned.

That said, my next car will be a 6-spd or will have a ridiculously fast auto.
