Lighting

A/C: Press the button to turn on or turn off the air conditioning system.
To improve air conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the
windows slightly open for two to three minutes. Use A/C with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
F
MAX A/C: Press the button to switch on. Recirculated air flows through
the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning automatically adjusts
to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full cool
position. This re-cooling of the interior is more economical and efficient.
G
AUTO: Press the button to switch on. Recirculated air flows through
the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning automatically adjusts
to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full cool
position. This re-cooling of the interior is more economical and efficient.
H
Heated rear window: Turns the heated rear window on and off. See
Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 130).
I
Defrost: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and
de-mister vents. You can also use this setting to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING
THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:
Prolonged use of recirculated
air may cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of
air from the footwell air vents
regardless of the air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up
inside your vehicle, do not drive with
the system switched off or with
recirculated air always switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the
front seats as this may interfere with
the airflow to the rear seats. Note:
Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Do not adjust the settings when
your vehicle interior is extremely hot or
cold. The system automatically adjusts
to the previously stored settings. For
the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: At low ambient temperatures
with AUTO selected, the system directs
air toward the windshield and side
windows for as long as the engine
remains cold.
Note: When you switch the system off,
outside air cannot enter your vehicle.

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL
(IF EQUIPPED)
WARNINGS
Always pay close attention to
changing road conditions,
especially when using adaptive cruise
control. Adaptive cruise control
cannot replace attentive driving.
Failing to follow any of the warnings
below or failing to pay attention to the
road may result in a crash, serious
injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control is not a
crash warning or avoidance
system.
Adaptive cruise control will not
detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Adaptive cruise control will not
detect pedestrians or objects in
the roadway.
Adaptive cruise control will not
detect oncoming vehicles in the
same lane.
Do not use the adaptive cruise
control when entering or leaving
a highway, in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, slippery or unpaved.
WARNINGS
Do not use in poor visibility,
specifically fog, rain, spray or
snow.
Note: It is your responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
The system adjusts your speed to
maintain a proper distance between
you and the vehicle in front of you in
the same lane. You can select from
one of four gap settings.
E145977
The controls for using your cruise
control are located on the steering
wheel.

Cruise Control

• the vehicle is in a dynamicmaneuver
• the road has no or poor lane markings in the camera
field-of-view
• the camera is obscured or unable to detect the lane markings due to
environmental conditions (e.g.
significant sun angles or shadows,
snow, heavy rain, fog), traffic
conditions (e.g. following a large
vehicle that is blocking or
shadowing the lane), or vehicle
conditions (e.g. poor headlamp
illumination).
See Troubleshooting for additional
information. Green: Indicates that the system is
available or ready to provide a
warning or intervention, on the
indicated side(s).
Yellow: Indicates that the system is
providing or has just provided a lane
keeping aid intervention.
Red: Indicates that the system is
providing or has just provided a lane
keeping alert warning.
The system can be temporarily
suppressed at any time by the
following:
• Quick braking
• Fast acceleration
• Using the turn signal indicator
• Evasive steering maneuver
Troubleshooting
Why is the feature not available (line markings are gray) when I can see the lane markings on the road?
Vehicle speed is outside the operational range of the feature
Sun is shining directly into the camera lens
Quick intentional lane change
Staying too close to the lane marking
Driving at high speeds in curves
Previous feature activation happened within the last one second
Ambiguous lane markings (mainly in construction zones)
Rapid transition from light to dark or vice versa
Sudden offset in lane markings
ABS or AdvanceTrac activation

Driving Aids

Fan speed: Touch + or - to increase or decrease the volume of air
circulated in your vehicle.
C
Recirculated air: Touch the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the button illuminates
and the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This
may reduce the time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C)
and may reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes except
MAX A/C to reduce the possibility of fogging.
D
MAX A/C: Touch to switch on. The system distributes recirculated air
through the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning automatically
turns on and fan speed adjusts to the highest speed. This re-cooling
of the interior is more economical and efficient than normal A/C.
E
A/C: Touch to turn air conditioning on or off. To improve air
conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly
open for two to three minutes. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve
cooling performance and efficiency.
F
AUTO: Touch to turn on fully automatic operation. Select the desired
temperature using the temperature control. The system automatically
adjusts fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and outside or
recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the selected
temperature.
G
Rear defroster: Touch to turn the rear window defroster and heated
mirrors (if equipped).
