I folded down my rear seats for the first time today, and I noticed a sticker under my seat cushions. It says "stone gas w/thermal" on it. I know what the first two terms are (stone is the color of my interior, and gas means gas-powered). Does anyone know what "w/thermal" means? I was wondering if it means I was supposed to have auto climate control, because I just have the manual, and I'd really like to have the automatic.

Here's a pic of the sticker: http://cid-6226bfb33fdc7796.office.live.com/self.aspx/Pictures/Sticker.JPG

well since it says w/o nav i can only assume w/thermal means that it has some time of cold weather heating options?? maybe heated seats mirrors??

Nope, neither of those things. I have the automatic headlights, and the auto dimming rear view mirror, and that's about it. I don't even have an engine block heater - I ordered one from the dealer, and it should be here on Tuesday.

It says w/o nav and w/thermal (Without Navigation and winter thermal block heater)

I said that I don't have an engine block heater though - I am paying $130 to order one from the dealer.

I would have thought it meant heated seats since they seem to list interior options. If that's not it than :shrug:

I think it has to do with AC/Heater

Ok this thing has me on a hook. Im tryin to decode this.

9L84- Denotes Ford Escape 09
7813000- some sort of floor rubber matting
CG36T7-???

Trying to find this THERMAL question.

I would think "w/thermal" would mean it had heated seats and "w/o thermal" would indicate no heated seats. Maybe the seat covers were designed to be used with heated seats but could be used on Escapes without... Just speculating though...

Maybe if you gave Ford Customer Relations a call or email they could give you a correct answer. I have no idea, other than some of these machines have interior from recycled material and others for no apparent reason, do not. At least that is what our Mazda dealer told me. Our seats don't spot like allot of the cloth seats do...so maybe it's not recycled? I dunno . Just a SWAG.

Give them a call. Keep us posted on what they tell you. OK?

I never though of that. Maybe I'll give that a shot tomorrow.

It didn't come with rubber (all-weather) floor mats either. It had the base carpet floor mats, and I had to pay another $90 to the dealer for the stone colored all-weather floor mats, since everyone online only seems to stock the black mats

I could understand if the dealer tried to be sneaky and swiped the all weather mats for carpet ones, but I don't see them going to the trouble of removing heated seats or automatic climate control, just to sell it back for additional $$$.
