Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Me too in my CGTS manual. Seems to be when i am on an uphill slope and driving off with electronic parking brake on. Select first (or so i think) and roll back. Put parking brake on again and repeat a few times. Never seems to happen when not on slope. Maybe something to do with the hold function.

Similar for me, easiest to do when on a slope, lucky I have the reversing beeper which beeps once when you go into reverse otherwise I may have reversed into someone by now.
POST 4Original post
The reverse in the Porsche is in the same direction as forwards in my other car, so it's doubly likely to happen. The result was that I reversed into a colleagues car with a right old thump. Not too expensive but very embarrassing.
POST 5Original post
I remember hearing someone give me a right old blast on the horn in traffic years ago, I had selected reverse by mistake, that was my old 928 S4 manual though, bloody embarrassing but it could of been worse!! I'm in the habit of looking at the gear-lever first in cars that I drive now, as I drive a lot of rental cars abroad....
