I understand why there are some differences between US and Can vehicles based on law differences (IE Headlight switch, Imperial vs Metric), but some things I just dont understand...if its due to tradition or what. Anywho I thought I would tell you about the differences that I see sitting in my Escalade (came from California) compared to my previous 03 Denali (which was Canadian) perhaps some one has noticed others that I miss.
First off the speedo and gauge cluster are imperial-US and metric-CAN (why dont they do like the corvette and you flick a switch which automatically recalibrates the dial is on the speedo)
#2 The light switch on CAN when turned all the way counter clock wise does absolutely nothing while US it will turn your headlights completly off.
#3 The review mirror uses "Passenger Air Bag ON"-US and CAN uses a picture of a stick man sitting behind a baloon.
#4 REar heat controls on US use Numbers in Feh. while CAN uses red for hot and blue for cold
I know there are others I'm just not thinking of right now, so feel free to ad to my list. If anyone knows why there are these differences I would very interested to know....to me it seems easier/cheaper to make them all the same. Enlighten if you can!
