Not sure if anyone has come across this, but when pulling up to a parking spot and getting ready to get off. Do you press Park and then Power, but do you just use the Power button to park and turn off the car at the same time?
I normally only press the Power Off/On button, but when I park on a hill, I tend to be a little obsessive-compulsive and press park before powering off and setting my emergency brake extra firmly. Pushing the Park button before Power Off is more of a reminder that I should double-check that the car is safe from rolling down a hill, than a requirement.
Same here. I normally just press the power button to turn off, since it will automatically put the Prius in park. Now if I'm just stopped and need to use the ATM, I'll hit the park button vs power button to keep everything running.
You can just press Power. The car will shift itself to Park. I use Park when I'm in the car wash and I want to keep listening to the radio, or when I have to wait for a bridge to go down (I live on an island surrounded by drawbridges).
Same here + I turn wheels the way that the front will lock on the curb in case of park mode / emergency brake pair failure.
