Putting the G60 in Park

Really don't want to lose my man card here... but on the G60s, how do y'all put the car in park?

There's the emergency brake / parking brake button just below the gear shift (P). Do y'all use that to park the car before turning it off?

I've tried different things with the toggle gear shifter: pressing, delayed shifts, partial toggle and full toggle... etc.

I want to make sure I'm operating the car the best way and not wear out any component unnecessarily.

Thanks everyone!

Which is harder for your “man card” to handle - a woman (me) giving you the answer or just looking in the manual yourself?

Press the parking brake button.

It’s ok to read the manual. You won’t lose your man card. It has the word “man” in it. 😂

Press the parking brake button.
Not hard at all for me to handle receiving advice or direction from women. Thank you for the information!
