That's what I mean: WHAT search function? If I input for example, "Biodefense Weapon" nothing shows. But trying to look it up under the letter "B" I can no longer find an alphabetic look up option.

I used to be able to do an alphabetically search in the immense number of topics of the owner's manual. Now I have to wade through section after section to try to find what I am looking for. Has the alphabetical search been omitted? Or am I doing it wrong?

An alphabetical search mode used to be available in the Owner's manual section. How can find that mode of search now, rather than wade through sub-sections?

Thanks, the linked posts addressed other aspects of different widths but not the issue I am most interested in: which 18" width has better grip on ice and snow.

This brings up a question no one to date has been able to answer for me: all things equal, will the narrower 235 studded Hakkapeliittas bite into the ice and snow better than the 255 width?

Thanks. The aspect ratio was hard to see. So, unlike previous posts who think an 8.5 is too wide (i.e. not ideal) for that tire size, you found no noticeable disadvantage?

Tires are what size?

I am trying to find even one set of 18x8 rims anywhere for a 235/55R18 or 245/50-18 tire, but cannot find one. Will the 8.5 width work?

How do you avoid automatic software updates? Is it enough to toggle to "Standard" update option?

Thanks for the tip to buy an accelerator! C

Thank you. I still have a bit of wind noise coming from a gap at the upper rear edge of the glass next to the B-pillar. I am thinking of buffering the existing molding from behind, for greater pressure against the glass. I am unsure whether there is access behind the upper B-pillar plastic panel.

Thanks. I wish there was a photo from a bit more of a distance, to better understand the general area.

"#1 - The solution for wind noise is the following - Z Weatherstrip down inside the leading edge of the front door, I cannot see from your photo whether the Z weatherstrip is glued to the frame or the door. Please clarify.

1. Design a protective cover/deflector for the backup camera. When it rains, the rear view is a joke. 2. Reduce the opening gap for the windows when opening/closing the doors. When it rains, the interior gets wet. Porsche uses a 1/4" gap which is sufficient for cabin pressure equalization.

putting extra locks on (2-5 per wheel) would be another good deterrent, moreso if they are different styles Really? If I have to triple and quadruple lock every wheel with locks from several different manufacturers to prevent theft, I would think the whole idea is an abject failure.
