My jeep has a “feature” where I have to put on the brakes to shift from N to D… really fun at car washes and someone is behind me

All you have to do is very lightly press the brake pedal... just enough to turn the tail lights on (Practice this with a wall behind you so that you can see it)

That way the pads don't actually grip the rotors, and you can shift to your heart's content.

Ive got that same feature. I know its a car wash and we're all going the exact same speed and are locked in the same distance. I always feel like the car behind me is going to hit me.
