It is directly. there is no requirement to hold the brake pedal, or move
the lever to one side or the other or press a button to get around a
lock out.

The car is in P.
Press the brake pedal, operate the lever to accompdate the lock out, and
select R. Back out of the garage and down the driveway into the street.
DIRECTLY shift to D by moving the lever without any lockout devices in the
way.

I don't know how much clearer to say that.

Except that it's from reverse not neutral - not what was asked.




Once again, your reading comprehension has failed you.
