Ok so I was late for work, had it in 2nd gear on Tiptronic. the RPMs were high and low at times cause There are some curves. I had it on 2nd gear for a while but now the MAINT REQ'D light comes on. HELP! I tried doing a search but couldnt find anything On the subject but I do remember that something like this happened to someone here. I have a 99. Thanks in Advance.

 

As for the Maint required light its in your manual on how to reset it as well.
It means nothing more than its time for a oil change (when properly reset) Its designed to come on full at 7500 miles.
With the car off,Press and hold the Trip and Reset light with 1 hand, while holding them BOTH in turn your key
to the RUN position (not start but run) and continue to hold them in till they turn off. It takes about 10 seconds.
If you turn the key and then press teh buttons in you will change the Outside Temp settings

 

ahhhhhhhhhh so THATS what the +1 +2 thing was when I tried to reset the oil minder D'oh!

Now I have to go reset the temp too

As my old Aunt Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say
Its always something

We miss you Gilda
