    Just my spanner in the works for you, my Business Edition, which is a sort of meld between a 3 and a 3 Touring has it with a title such to override the car's detection system. If I open the rear door to place a coat on the back seat the car assumes a rear passenger and directs flow to the back as well, but I can switch it back to just the front lines easily.

    So, that indicates it is a feature that is crippled for North America. Again! :(

    It's likely worse..I noticed straight out of the dealers lot this clearance deficiency..Of course, I'm used to the easy clearance of a huge 3/4 4X4 Suburban vehicle.

    That was an old post you replied to - almost 2 yrs.

    Since then, I bought the Gen 4 (19 mths ago) - and the ground clearance is quite a bit better than a FORD Fiesta, particularly with the front bib-spoiler. I still take my driveway at an angle, but nothing like as carefully or slowly as the Fiesta.

    There are two lights on the heated seats on the drivers side. One for the driver and one showing the driver that the passengers seat is turned on. The drivers is orange and rectangular and the other one is round so you can identify them at a glance.

    Almost the same over here, except both lights are yellow..... Driver's side is on the passenger's side and the passengers light is a bit bigger and to the side of the driver's seat switch. Clear enough?

    Re: #229 - the driver's seat switch has the larger yellow rectangle light and the passenger seat indicator is a smaller circular yellow light to the left of the switch. Now y'all remember that over there, the driver sits on the right hand sides and the passenger in the left hand seat. I still remember the look on my Floridian buddy's face when I jumped into the driver's seat of his car when he picked me up from my hotel. :eek::cautious:

    No! He had this massive Lexus saloon and I was so excited I was way ahead of him reaching the door.
    Aw, c'mon! I'm a limey used to the driver sitting on the other side!!

    Note for fellow Yankees: a saloon (what old Western movies called a bar and what @RCO would call a pub) is what we'd call a sedan.
