The wording may be abbreviated because these were originally production codes rather than consumer descriptions. “Vinyl interior trim: Medium Sage. This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification” is a reasonable plain-English reading, but the exact implementation should be verified for the 2021 model.
