Automatic intake air control
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be con-
trolled automatically. To manually control the in-
take air, press the
air recirculation button.
To return to the automatic control mode, press
and hold the
air recirculation button for
about 2 seconds. The indicator light will flash
twice, and then the intake air will be controlled
automatically.
Air flow control
Press thebutton to manually control air
flow. Pressing the button repeatedly will cycle
through the available modes and display the cor-
responding icon on the center display:
— Air flows from center and side
vents.
— Air flows from center and sidevents and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot outlets.
— Air flows from defroster and footoutlets.
— Air flows from defroster outlets.
To turn system off
Press the OFF button.
OPERATING TIPS
●When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally.
The sunload sensor, located on the top driver’s
side of the instrument panel, helps the system
maintain a constant temperature. Do not put any-
thing on or around this sensor.

CLIMATE SETTING SCREEN
Climate control settings can be changed on the
screen.
Press the CLIMATE button on the instrument
panel and turn the display to the Climate mode.
Heating (A/C off)
The air conditioner does not activate in this mode.
When you need to heat only, use this mode.1. Press the CLIMATE button.
2. If the “A/C” indicator on the screen illumi- nates, select the “A/C” key. (The “A/C” indi-
cator will turn off.) 3. Press the temperature control button to set
the desired temperature.
● The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
● Do not set the temperature lower than the
outside air temperature or the system may
not work properly.
● This procedure is not recommended if win-
dows fog up.
When the outside temperature decreases to ap-
proximately 32°F (0°C) , the A/C function does
not activate even if the “A/C” indicator light illu-
minates.
Dual control mode setting
You can individually set the driver and front pas-
senger side temperature and air flow mode using
each temperature control button or manual air
flow control button. 1. Press the CLIMATE button.
2. By touching the “DUAL” key, or when the passenger side temperature control button
or manual air control button is pushed, the
“DUAL” indicator on the screen will illumi-
nate. 3. To turn off the passenger side temperature
control, touch the “DUAL” key and the
“DUAL” indicator will turn off.
● The Dual control mode cannot be activated
when the air conditioner is in the front de-
frosting mode.
Advanced Climate Control System
(ACCS) (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS)
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean, using the
ion control and the automatic air intake control
with exhaust gas detecting sensor.

Ion control
This unit generates highly concentrated Plasma-
cluster® ions into the air blown from the vents
and reduces odor absorbed into the interior trim.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the system
generates Plasmacluster® ions automatically.
The amount of Plasmacluster® ions increases
according to the amount of air flow. When the air
flow is high,
is displayed on the screen and
when the air flow is low, the indication in the
screen changes to

This vehicle is equipped with an exhaust gas
detection sensor. When the automatic intake air
control is ON, the sensor detects industry odors
such as pulp or chemicals, and exhaust gas such
as gasoline or diesel. When such odors or gas
are detected, the system automatically changes
from the outside air circulation mode to the recir-
culation mode.
When the intake air control button is pushed
under the following conditions, the indicator light
on the
button will illuminate and the ex-
haust gas detection sensor will turn on.
●
The air flow control is not in the front defroster
mode (the indicator light on the
front
defroster button is turned off) .
● The outside temperature is about 32°F (0°C)
or more.
When the automatic intake air control is ON, for
the first 5 minutes, the recirculation mode is
selected to prevent dust, dirt and pollen from
entering the vehicle and cleans the air inside of
the vehicle with positive and negative ions that
are emitted from the vent. After the 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust
gas and automatically alternates between the
recirculation mode and outside air circulation
mode.

Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position
(usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter) , static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected
signals reach the receiver at the same time. The
signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics, AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmitter
to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a mal-
function. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite
radio ON and the vehicle outside of any metal or
large building for satellite radio to receive all of
the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode will be skipped unless an
optional satellite receiver and antenna are in-
stalled and a SiriusXM® Satellite Radio service
subscription is active. Satellite radio is not avail-
able in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio
signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna can
affect satellite radio performance. Remove the
ice to restore satellite radio reception.

● During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to the hu-
midity. If this occurs, remove the CD
and dehumidify or ventilate the player
completely.
● The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
● The CD player sometimes cannot func-
tion when the compartment tempera-
ture is extremely high or low.
Decrease/increase the temperature
before use. ●
Do not expose the CD to direct sun-
light.
● CDs that are in poor condition or are
dirty, scratched or covered with finger-
prints may not work properly.
● The following CDs may not work prop-
erly:
● Copy control compact discs (CCCD)
● Recordable compact discs (CD-R)
● Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
● Do not use the following CDs as they
may cause the CD player to malfunc-
tion:
● 3.1 in (8 cm) discs with an adapter

following messages will be displayed. CHECK DISC:
●
Confirm that the CD is inserted cor-
rectly (the label side is facing up,
etc.) .
● Confirm that the CD is not bent or
warped and it is free of scratches.
PRESS EJECT:
This is an error due to excessive tem-
perature inside the player. Remove the
CD by pressing the EJECT button. After
a short time, reinsert the CD. The CD
can be played when the temperature of
the player returns to normal.
UNPLAYABLE:
The file is unplayable in this audio sys-
tem (only MP3 or WMA (if so equipped)
