Funny US vs Canada Speedo Differences.

[Smartster]

No idea why but the Us version of the speedo other then being in Mile has changed 2 symbols, the US car spells out BRAKE where the Canadian version has an explanation mark like (!).

The other difference is the ABS symbol in the US just says ABS where the Canadian once has a similar shape as the brake but with ABS in the middle like (ABS).

Any idea if this is just some stange government regulations or just some strange thing smart did?

Our cousins to the north are Smart enough to interpret symbols. Market research has proven that we are not.

Thanks funny!

Also was talking to someone about the fact the US is the only market that got the auto on light and auto on wipers as well "some people" in "some places" in the world don't seem to under stand the concept of turning on lights or wipers...

Actually I'm very jelous and will be making a trip down to the US in the next month or so to get the auto on lights and auto on wipers installed as while I know to turn things on I actually often forget to turn them off and that damn ding ding ding sound when I open the door getting annoying.

Oh also if you have the auto on lights they come on when you lock/unlock your doors at night, which is really great feature.

I just wonder what its going to cost me to get this done, any US dealers here from the east coast want to do this for me?

Officially, I don't think we have any dealers yet. When the dealer announcements are made, I am certain the closest U.S. dealer to you in New England will be happy to take your money. Afterall, your currency is worth more than ours these days.

I'm not so certain. You're posting at 2:30 in the morning. Clearly, you haven't found that Start button yet. (I personally rely on power failures for the occassional reboot).
