Hey guys, Before I bought the GTP. My friend had a Gp GT, and I noticed that it had a lot dings and for everything like low oil, low gas, and others....but in my GTP I did noticed it tells me i'm low in gas when I go under 40....but in the HUD the little gas light doesn't go on is there a reason....I also noticed he had a little light by his gas meter that would light up as well.....also when i put the car in Overdrive I only know its on by a blue shift light on the left side of speedometer, and I looked in the manual it show it turns on in the little box where it show MPG, and how much gas you have os on so for.....any ideas....?

Once you get really low on gas, you should have three dumby lights go on. The DIC, HUD, and the dash.

Now does the gas light come on when my Dic comes on? Also should my perf shift light come on when I push the button?
Adding a question.....what should we drive in then in "D" or 3??

In D you want the overdrive on, it runs the rpm's lower and increases gas millage that way, in 3, you would use that for climing a big hill or something along those lines

I leave mine in 3 because if I put it in D around town, my torque converter wants to lockup. With the shifter in 3 though, I don't notice that problem... also like Herc mentioned I feel it saves wear on the tranny.

Okay so its a better idea to drive in 3rd?
And as far as all the dings and whistles. The Dic should read low fuel 1st. Then the little gas light on the Hud, and after it gets really low I should get a little light by the gas meter on the speedometer?
