Yes, it did say "door is ajar" (I thought it also said which door), "fuel level is low" and a few other things which I do not remember any more (oh yes, "parking brake is on" and probably something to do with the seatbelts), all in a soft young lady's voice. After a while, it started sounding as if I was scolded by a fussy wife or something and getting a little annoying. Also, the instrument panel was a star wars or video arcade game thing with strange histogram-like vertical bar graph, which occupied most of the front instrument panel, indicating the manifold pressure (I thought it was) which goes up and down constantly. Other indications such as tachometer and speedometer are all digital, and again busy changing constantly. Those days are gone.... Since then, I came to "hate" digital indications which are not quite intuitive :-). Cheers, Ken
