Just wanted to point out that most shifters enable you to go into neutral from drive with out pressing in the button. Same goes from 1st -> 2nd -> drive -> neutral, but not in reverse (stops at drive). Might be something good to check on your wife's car with the engine off. I think it is a safy feature more than a P&G assist when they designed it .
