Worse thing to come out of the Firestone-Ford finger-pointing session over the Explorer. Big business and big brother working hand-in-hand.

Please don't let Washington get a hold of your idea.

To be honest I don't even know if the UK Kizi has TPMS, I hope it doesn't, as I have heard it can be a real pain when you get new tires. In actual fact, how can I tell, baring in mind the user manual is quite generic?
Nah, we have enough parking lots that you never have to learn if you don't want to.
As far as TPMS, look at your valve stems. If they are metal, you have TPMS. If they are rubber, you don't.

Too late for that advice, they already have gotten a hold of it. KurNekko wasn't joking, they're going to be mandatory.

You simply mean the side mirrors fold by hand, not motor, correct?
If so, that's no different than what we have, SamirD.
We probably don't have front parking sensors because North America is generally much easier to park in than densely populated areas of Europe and Asia with limited parking spaces.

No, the wing mirrors fold by using a switch just below the wing mirror adjusters.

Wow, you do get all the goodies... but you guys sure pay a lot more for the car.
Do you have HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlights for the low beams?
