C-MAX (CCG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Second Printing Table of Contents

Note:
During wet or winter driving
conditions with ice, snow or a salty road
mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or
smearing may occur.
In these conditions, you can do the
following:
• Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing.
• Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
• Switch the autowipers off. High sensitivity
A
OnB
Low sensitivity
C
The autowipers feature uses a rain sensor
that is located in the area around the
interior rear view mirror. The rain sensor
monitors the amount of moisture on the
windshield and automatically turns the
wipers on. It will adjust the wiper speed by
the amount of moisture that the sensor
detects on the windshield.
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor. Set the
control to low sensitivity, and the wipers
will turn on when the rain sensor detects
a large amount of moisture on the
windshield. Set the control to high
sensitivity, and the wipers will turn on when
the rain sensor detects a small amount of
moisture on the windshield. Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive. Dirt or
debris around the interior rear view mirror
area will affect the autowipers'
performance. For example, the autowipers
may turn on if dirt, mist or insects hit the
windshield.

Check the main mirror first before a lane
change, then check the blind spot mirror.

mirror and the traffic in the adjacent lane
is at a safe distance, signal that you intend
to change lanes. Glance over your shoulder
to verify traffic is clear and carefully
change lanes.

Auto-Dimming Mirror (If Equipped)
Note: Do not block the sensors on the front

Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter, which gives you and your passengers
the following benefits:
•
It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Your cabin air filter is located under the
instrument panel in the passenger footwell
area.
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Maintenance
(page 213).
For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
REMOTE START

Note: You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation.
Turn the ignition on to return the system
to its previous settings. You can now make
adjustments normally, but you need to turn

on, such as:
• Heated seats.
• Cooled seats.
