The larger button is the electronic parking brake. The one identifed next to it is an option "Auto Park" and is not yet available. From my understanding... the Auto Park option prevents the vehicle from rolling when your foor of off the brake and you are not accellerating. It activates when you come to a stop. Good for stop and go traffic.

A dealer told me that he had a customer order an American version with HEATED SEATS for export to Dubia. I have never been there, but heated seats would not be first on my list for the Desert.!ouch:Point is, you never know what brochure pictures are intended for which market.

psh, do you own a car with heated seats? I first had them on the Explorer and got hooked and I live in so cali!

That was introduced on the STS and is also included on the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2005+, it goes under the name "SmartBeam and Intellibeam"
