The large color head-up display projects a range of frequently checked driving information and warnings on the lower windshield glass in the driver’s line of sight, requiring only a movement of the eyes to see it. In addition, two exclusive “F” Sport Mode displays show the tachometer and shift range or the shift range and rev indicator.
The “F” driving experience is communicated by the large central color TFT (Thin Film Transistor) tachometer, enclosed in a large-diameter ring machined from aluminum with a stainless steel finish that gives a deep metal luster. The design of the tachometer and the content it displays change with the drive mode selected, enhancing visibility and usability. The position of the information, and the size of fonts and indicators displayed were all fine-tuned to provide quick confirmation of vehicle performance in a glance.
When the radar and camera sensors detect a collision with a pedestrian, vehicle or obstacle ahead is likely, it alerts the driver and activates pre-crash brake assist when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
With smooth and quiet operation, the power rear window sunshade has outstanding light filtering qualities. Together with the manual rear door window sunshades, they provide excellent shade and are unobtrusive when not in use.
The seatback, cushion and side cushion of the outboard rear seats can be heated. Individual adjustment is via the control panel in the rear center armrest, which is also used to control the rear climate zone.
The front passenger’s seat has an extending seat cushion to provide additional calf support. It automatically retracts when the passenger gets in and out of the car.
The powerful yet energy efficient S-FLOW control provides climate control only to the zones that are occupied. Switching on the S-FLOW control cuts air conditioning for the rear seats. For models with 3-zone independent temperature controls, air conditioning of the front passenger’s side is also cut automatically when the seat isn’t occupied, further contributing to energy efficient control.
The front seats feature 10-way adjustments including lumbar support, or 18- way including 4-way lumbar. The F SPORT package driver’s seat has 16-way including 4-way lumbar, and 10-way including lumbar support for the front passenger’s seat.
Available in combination with leather seats, the driver and front seat passenger can individually ventilate their seat as desired using the conveniently located switches, for excellent cooling in hot weather.
