reverse to drive question
I have what may be a stupid question and maybe I'm just missing something.
When driving our 2013 X3, I often back out of the garage and then shift to drive and I often forget to push the little button on the side and drive off. This results in a notice on the nav screen reminding me to push the button. However, the car does shift into drive. Is this bad? And if not, then why the reminder? |

We have a 2013 X3 2.8i, but without navigation. We do not have to push the button to go from reverse to drive. I don't recall getting any message or reminder to push in the button when doing so.

I've noticed on mine as long as I keep my foot on the brake I can shift from reverse to drive without pushing the button but if I lift my foot off the brake it'll stop in neutral to give me a warning and I'll have to push the button to put into drive. And I do have the navigation system if that matters.

I just naturally hold the button when shifting. My thumb wraps right over it, so I never really have to think "push button" or "not push button"

I also found out that you cannot go from Park to Drive without pushing the button. R to D, no button needed. Maybe this will help sum it up:
P > R Must push unlock button P > D Must push unlock button D > R Must push unlock button R > D Do not need to push the button
