My wife left the lights on overnight and the battery discharged enough to keep the car from starting. I hooked up a trickel charger overnight but it does not completly charge the batters. Inaddition now the low tire pressure light is on and the light on the shifter for park will not go out. Any ideas.

try reseting the tire pressure monitor through idrive
as for the light on the sifter, mine does not go off immediately, but it should turn off eventually.

I did check the tires and then reset the system that worked out OK. I will have to check and see if the light stays on or not.

The shifter light will stay on for approximately 16 minutes until the car goes into sleep mode...
