What does the manual say?
Normally parking any car is neutral is not a problem. I have a Stilo Abarth
with a Selespeed (semi automatic like the Dualogic) gearbox and if I park
the car, select neutral and turn the engine off a warning alram is sounded.
This is normal. Good driving practice is to where possible always park a
vehicle in gear to protect against handbrake failure. Correded handbrake
cables breaking when parked happens far more frequently than people think or
ever could think would happen.

You can leave it in neutral but you are trusting the handbrake.
Better to leave it in 1st on Reverse depending on the slope. Think of it
like a convential automatic where you leave it in "park"
But as you no doubt realise the dualogic gives you the best of both an
