There is a message on the dash readout that says passengers door open, however the door is tightly closed. he battery did discharge recently due to not using the car, I recharged the battery and the car runs fine, however this message on the rearout will not go away. I tried opening and shuting the passengers door a few times, however the message remains. It there a way to reset so the message goes away?
