Keyless engine start and dual-zone automatic climate control are standard on all models. A 10-way power driver seat with three-position memory is standard on all but the S. A wireless cell-phone link and sunroof are standard on the GTS and SLS. Leather upholstery, heated front seats, and rear-obstacle detection are SLS-exclusive standard features.
