What was that about speed control mentioned with the LT spec?? Anyone for Spanish?

Lets see if my 6 years of Spanish can help:


Puños calefactables = Heated Grips
• Control de velocidad = cruise control
• Asiento calefactable = heated seat
• Sistema central de cierre =central locking
• Iluminación adicional = additional lighting (Im guessing the ground lighting)
• Sistema de alarma antirrobo = anti-theft system
• Rail portaequipajes y banda de luz de freno = equipment rack (rear?) and lighted bands?
• Asiento de tacto suave = smooth seat
• Faro de xenón = xenon light
• Preinstalación para sistema de navegación = Nav wiring pre-installed.


Hope that helps.

You did pretty good!;)
Only clarification I can think of is below:
• Rail portaequipajes y banda de luz de freno = luggage rack with brake light

I couldnt figure out if they meant lighted side bag strips or lighted luggage rack....they used "y" and not "con"....
Guess Im a bit rusty.

[simoncharles]

Florian, you are right. It should be "con".

[Florian]

Gracias, Simoncharles! I hope to get back to Mallorca someday...it was a beautiful island....

Negative, I was a pilot though...

Even better.

I said the Navy as everybody I have met who comes from the States has been here due to serving time in the 6th fleet.
