My Battery Died
FYI. I was demonstrating my new car to a friend and did not turn the car off by pushing the start button twice without starting the motor, and I forgot to lock the car on exit. So the car stayed on the the auto headlight activated so the headlights went and stayed on so the battery died. On jump start there were many warning lights on the dash. After driving for 30min and stopping at home a restart and then a second restart 30 min later reset all the warning lights and all is ok again. This was a lesson to lock the car on exit as that will also turn it off. Just FYI for all on this forum that have helped all of us.

Thanks for the warning. I actually have the Personalized Settings set with the auto lights to turn off as soon as I exit the car. I am always afraid of having my battery die on me (I had a bad experience in a blizzard in NYC once). It's good to hear that all's good.
