Well...I read somewhere in the manual or on the Net that the ICC -- radar rays would not work under bright sunlight or in rain when the reflections are not predictable...So even in rain when the wipers are a bit faster than intermittent or under bright light falling directly on the ICC..the ICC will beep and quit....this is normal

Haha I've posted this story before but I figured this would be good info to have for those days where you just aren't paying attention.
Since we have a keyless ignition, us AT guys don't have much of a "fool proof" fail safe for when you turn the car off without putting it in park. If you turn your car off without putting it in park, when you open the door, your car will begin to chime at you relatively rapidly to let you know that its possible that the car will roll away the second you step out of it.
Ahh I'll never forget seeing my G rolling slowly down the office parking garage.

As long as you started to roll the windows first and shut the engine off second the windows will roll up. (Note: If you open the driver or passenger door, the power will cut off)

The car retains power to the windows for about 30 seconds to a minute. I never actually took the time to see how long you have before power is cut, but I know for a fact that you can cut the ignition first and THEN roll up your windows so long as the donkeys in your passenger seats haven't opened their doors yet. Once someone opens a door, power is cut and your windows stop where they are.
In my response (post #10) to the same comment

How do I get it to do this?

Yes this implies that I've recently forgot to put my car in park again....
