There is a little strip on my dashboard up near the windshield that has 4 orange and 2 red lights on each side of the strip. Below 10 MPH, one light on each side is on. Above 10 MPH, the lights go out. In park, the lights are out. The only time I see the lights all on is when I first start the car (like a self-test).

Does anyone have ANY idea what this thing is? I can't find anything in the manuals or online.

Parking sensors. You have them in the rear as well.

The closer you get the more they light up. Red means you're really close.

edit: There's a button by the shifter that turns off the parking sensors if you don't like them.

Looks like you never park in tight spaces... those are indicators for how close you are to an obstacle

I've only had the car for a day and a half.

Parktronic! It's the greatest thing ever if you ever have to parallel park. You'll love it.

kcobean

Thank you. I actually did find this in the Operators manual...must have glanced over it the first time. RTFMMC apparently (Read the F'ing Manual More Carefully )

kcobean

Thanks! I do parallel park quite a bit, so that will be a nice feature to have.

LOL...Ok, that is DEFINITELY not covered in the Operators Manual.
