We I nearly had my nose swiped off a few days ago facing a slight slope down from a street onto the main road I thought I reverse back a bit,put it in reverse and to my amazement it went forward instead FMD! I then decided to do it at home as the driveway had a similar slope and yep it did the same thing its needs a few feet to engaged reverse next time I will apply the handbrake first
apstar ps I had to stick my nose out to see cars on my RHS coming off a side road onto the main road I'm trying to get on |

The Mondeo auto doesn't disengage until you move the shifter. But it does take a couple of seconds to go from drive to reverse and vice versa, especially when its cold. I always use the brake when I'm on a hill.
But if you think the Mondeo is bad, just try something like a Passat with the DSG box!
