Parking your car question!

Lately I found that when i park I don't bother putting it into P and just shut off the car with a key and it goes into Park position by itself. Is it a bad habit? Do we really really HAVE TO put it into P before shutting it down?

It only goes into Park when the key is removed. So, if you shut it off without removing the key immediately, it could roll. Not a good habit.

The manual advises against doing that, it's only a safety measure that shouldn't be used frequently.
