my friend just bought a used 5.45 with smg. unfortunately the car did not come with the manual :thumbsdown:
can anyone help clarify if the smg can be put in "park"?
when left in neutral, a warning will come on saying that it is in neutral
Thank in advance for the hlp

On any manual trasmission, including an SMG, there is no "park" -- instead, you just park the car in a gear. Most people will put it in first gear if they're parking on an uphill and reverse if they're parking on a downhill. Either one can be used (first is usually smartest) on a flat surface.
On the SMG, if you are stopped in gear and you open the door, the car will shift itself into neutral so you need to park it, put it in gear, then switch off the motor before opening any doors.

I think he means owner's manual, not "old-fashioned manual" (as in the transmission type...) 
Ops, misunderstanding, sorry

By the way, if you need a copy of the manual, you can download it from here:
