In all previous autos that I've driven (and according to the Sorento manual) you have to apply the footbrake before you can change from Park to Drive or Reverse. When I called my dealer to check this, the mechanic agreed with me and offered to check a few of XS Autos on the forecourt -- all of which moved out of Park without the footbrake being applied. He came to the conclusion that this was therefore okay. I'm still not convinced though.
Any thoughts......?
