Sanctuary2325: I believe the global window feature only allows the windows to open, but because of safety issues like a child or pet in the car and possible injuries, that is disabled for the US market. Not sure where I read it, but I believe that is the reason.

Thank you. I am glad my dog is safe!

As a separate note gents, keep your eyes open for a chip upgrade or power boost for the I6. I would love another 30 to 50hp at the expense of gas mileage if necessary. Certainly don’t want to void a warranty.

It's good when set to normal, it's great with the tires set to the light load lower pressures (make sure you adjust the setting so the car knows you want the lower pressures)

I run my BFG KO2s on my current vehicle at 32 PSI and its a really smooth ride. Tires also lasted to 70k miles! When you say light load down from 50 PSI are you thinking 35 PSI?

Close, the normal load recommend pressures are 47 front and 50 rear, and light load drops these to 34 and 37 respectively. I don’t know if you’d get a TPMS warning at 32 or not, but you’re not too far below for the fronts at least. Moving to light load really did improve the ride, it’s well worth it.
