P-PRNDL LIGHT on and won't go off
 

new 2009 clubman...I have shut down motor, everything is off, but the P on the PRNDL remains on (red)...is this normal or how do I turn this off...thanks

Oh Newbiness...isn't it GRAND!! :lol:

The P-RNDL light you are seeing is normally on for a few minutes after suht down. Once you've shut the car down, remove the key, close Boot and Doors, leave the vehicle and in the morning the lights will be dark until you open the door again. I know it will seem like your MINI is alive, but rest assured that this will not run the battery down or harm your MINI in any way. :)

Maybe leave your MINI with a Blanket or a stuffed toy to sleep with and it iwill be more comfortable??!! :nod:

thank you...I just bought this for the wife...we had a Volvo XC90 before and did not have a chance to go over anything at the dealership yet...it took me a half hour to figure out how to get the Sirius up and running...going to see the dealer for our lesson on all these features this Tuesday....really cool car, she is very excited....have a GREAT WEEK

So did you buy it off the lot or order it?? They should have gone over things with you either way.

The Owner's Manual is required reading as well. You will want to take as much time as possible to get to personalize the car, if you have Comfort Access each Key Fob can be separately programmed according to each of your desires.

Good Luck!! If you happen to need some guidance there is a whole community here that is ready willing and able to answer any questions.
