re: "...Did you try pushing the brake peddle with the car in park and ignition off?..."

No, I didn't. It never occurred to me to do that -- usually I step on the (service) brake, put it in park, take my foot off the (service) brake to see that the Park (and the parking brake, when I have one :-) holds the car properly. Then I shut off the ignition.

So is that the "secret"? Ha, ha, Thanks!

I wish I had time to read the owners manual in the glovebox, but they gave me the car and I had to drive to work (a bit late), and then after work I just jumped in the car and drove the dealer to pick up my own car. Just no time for casual reading.

Well, anyway, thanks for clearing that up. Can't wait to be loaned the car again.
