Chime for Headlamps OnThis chime sounds if the driver or any passenger
door is open when the parking lamps or headlamps
are on. The chime sounds until you close the door,
turn off the lamps or turn the ignition to the ON
position.Redundant Electronic Gearshift
IndicatorThe redundant electronic gearshift indicator
The instrument cluster is equipped with a
redundant set of gearshift indicator lights located in
the center of the cluster between the speedometer
and the tachometer gauges.
These lights operate with the key in the ON
position only and displays the same gear selection as
the lights located on the floor console next to the
gearshift lever.
The light that is illuminated indicates which
position the transmission gearshifter is in.
NOTE:If the shifter is moved very quickly (less
than one second) over more than one gear selection
(for example from P [PARK] to D [DRIVE]), the
lights in between these positions may not get a
chance to turn on. Only the last selected gear
indicator will light up.

percentage instead of 100%. To ensure accurate
oil life indicators, perform this reset procedure
only after an oil change. For more information

selection display is turned off. The driver should use
the mechanical position indication on the center
console gear selector as temporary indication. If this
warning stays on, contact your dealer for service as
soon as safely possible.
