A couple of questions on our "new"2001 300M
 

Just brought my wife's "new" Chrysler 300M home, bought it on eBay in California and drove it 1500 miles home to Northwest Arkansas. OUTSTANDING car! My car is a '97 Jaguar XJ6. I'm hard pressed as to which is a better ride. And the Jag was always my favorite of favorites.
Anyway, I've figured most everything out except a couple of things. I hope I'm wrong, but is there no oil or alternator gauge other than the idiot lights?It have all of ther available options.Are the 3 hinge cover things in the package shelf for a car seat hookup? If not, what? And lastly for now, if I start out with the trans in the 1 position, shift to 2nd and than 3 , can I return to the D (4 speed auto) by just moving the shift lever to the left(past 2and1) and in D? Of course I wouldn't want it to down shift while doing this. I've read the book but am not quite clear on this.
Thanks in advance.
