Why doesn't the Fiat 500 automatic have a 'P' setting?
My Dad recently bought an automatic Fiat 500 petrol which he likes. I've driven it this weekend and when switching it off I found I could only put it into neutral. There seemed to be no (P) park selection for the gearbox. Am I missing something?

The FIAT Dualogic is an automated manual, not a torque converter auto. It simply emulates a manual shift. That's why no 'P'.
