Hello, people.
Need your input/s on this one.
I have to ask, because of a recent incident I had.
I own a 2013 Honda Jazz 1.5V AT.
Unknowingly, I turned-off my engine with the shift lever in N (neutral) and park break applied.
To my surprise, I cannot pull-out the key from the ignition.
I thought it was just stuck and starting the engine (then shutting it down) will correct whatever was stuck in the mechanism.
I heard the engine rev and abruptly stop. The car won't start either.
It was only then I noticed that the shift was in N (neutral)not in P (park).
Only when I placed the shift lever to P (park) that I was able to free the key and to start the engine to life.
Thus, the above question.
Did I fry anything or did I risk frying anything when I tried starting the engine while in N (neutral)?
All ideas are welcome, as i am deeply concerned on what harm I caused to my just 3-weeks old car.
Thanks all for your help, in advance.
