Top row for 2/3 people says 38/32
Second row says 41/36(b)

(b) says it's for vehicles with maximum speed pf 174, which is only relevant to cars with ceramic brakes, although, I really don't know how this affects cars sold in the Canadian market. Ceramic brakes or not, if your car can go over 155, the recommended tire pressures are different.
My point is that it's not the ceramic brakes that's the reason for the different tire pressure values. It just so happens that in the US the carbon ceramics are bundled with the speed limiter increase. In Canada, you can get carbon ceramic brakes as a standalone option with the lower 155mph maximum speed (therefore you would follow the lower tire pressure values per the owners manual). Or you can option the increased maximum speed, without carbon ceramics.

I don't disagree. I did not realize the option differences between the US and Canada. The manual just uses top speed (155 vs 174), and I associated that with ceramic brakes because that's the only real difference between Dynamic (155mph) and Dynamic Plus (174 mph).

But, I will emphasize that the pressures in the manual are only a starting point, and the best values for your specific car are dictated by the type of tires you have and how aggressively you drive. See post #20 for more detail on this.

like @m444 said, dealer replaced the purge valve. It’s a common issue….

Thanks! Dealer fixed it, something about an evaporative something or other, or maybe it was that purge valve, sorry that I didn't pay much attention.
