Trans Fluid Life Indicator
on my '22, I was checking my oil life on the dash and noticed that transmission fluid life is now shown as well (where it hadn't been before). I know this was included on the '23's, but not prior. Was this added as part of an update I wasn't aware of or was it there all the time?

Transmission Oil Life from 2020 Owners Manual:
Transmission Fluid Life :
Displays an estimate of the fluid's remaining
useful life. If REMAINING FLUID
LIFE 99% is displayed, that means
99% of the current fluid life remains.
When the remaining fluid life is low,
the CHANGE TRANSMISSION
FLUID SOON message will appear
on the display. The fluid should be
changed as soon as possible. See
Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid Life
System 223. In addition to the
Transmission Fluid Life system
monitoring the fluid life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule. See
Maintenance Schedule 287.
The Fluid Life display must be reset
after each fluid change. It will not
reset itself. Do not reset the Fluid
Life display accidentally at any time
other than when the fluid has just
been changed. It cannot be reset
accurately until the next fluid
change. To reset the Transmission
Fluid Life system, press and hold
SEL for several seconds while the
Fluid Life display is active.
