Enjoy,

The information for my car includes the following:

S823A - Heissland-Ausführung - Hot-climate version

Does anyone know what, specifically, this refers to, i.e., how is a "hot climate version" vehicle different from whatever other designations there are? Is there a "cold climate version" and/or a "mild climate version"?
