    I scared myself yesterday....

    I looked over at the warning area and there it was...

    RED TRIANGLE WITH THE EXCLAMATION POINT!!!!

    Ahhhh... What was this????

    Then I read the display. It was warning me because I had the door opened and I wasn't in park. I wasn't going anywhere, I had stopped at my sister-in-laws and I opened the door so her German Shepard wouldn't jump on the car to greet me.. I opened the door so I could give him a scratch..

    My heart returned to normal.......

    Glad to hear you, the car, and the dog, all survived.

    The warning I get for an open door (don't know if it's the same in the '06) is something to the extent of:
    "The battery will not recharge when the transmission is in [N]".

    That has got to be one of the worse translations of "door ajar" I've ever read. :D

    That is the same in the 06 and you're right, it is an extraordinarily bad translation.
