After 15 minutes the car falls asleep.
But even then, it sometimes wakes up and checks the systems and goes back to sleep mode.


Everything normal on your car.

'09 5 Series will have KITT-like voice response: "I'm sorry, Dave, but I'm afraid that downshifting now could potentially damage my Omnibus Spherical Flange Gear. Perhaps you should RTFM before operating me."
