Recirculated air:
Touch the button to switch between outside air and

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.
E
Note:
Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turning
on) in all airflow modes except Max A/C to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated
air may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow
modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
MAX A/C: Touch the button to maximize cooling. Recirculated air flows through
the instrument panel vents, air conditioning automatically turns on, and the fan
automatically adjusts to the highest speed.
F
A/C:

conditioning compressor may continue to operate even after you switch off the
air conditioning with the
A/C button.
AUTO:
Touch the button to turn on automatic operation. Select the desired
temperature using the temperature control. The system adjusts fan speed, air
distribution, air conditioning operation, and selects outside air or recirculated
air to heat or cool the vehicle in order to maintain the desired temperature. You
can also use the AUTO button to turn off dual zone operation by touching and
holding the button for more than two seconds.
H
Heated rear window: Turns the heated rear window on and off. See the heated
Windows and Mirrors chapter in your owner manual.
I

Map Mode
Press the green bar in the upper right area
of the touchscreen to view map mode. Map
mode shows advanced viewing comprised
of both 2D city maps as well as 3D
landmarks (when available).
2D city maps show detailed outlines of
buildings, visible land use and land
elements and detailed railway
infrastructure for the most essential cities
around the globe. These maps also contain
features, such as town blocks, building
footprints and railways.
3D landmarks appear as clear, visible
objects that are typically recognizable and
have a certain tourist value. The 3D
landmarks appear in 3D map mode only.
Coverage varies and improves with
updated map releases. Change the appearance of the
map display by repeatedly
pressing the arrow button in the
upper left corner of the screen. It toggles
between three different map modes:
Heading up, North up and 3D. Heading up (2D map) always
shows the direction of forward
travel to be upward on the
screen. This view is available for
map scales up to 2.5 miles (4
kilometers). The system remembers this
setting for larger map scales, but shows
the map in North up only. If the scale
returns below this level, the system
restores Heading up. North up (2D map)
always
shows the northern direction to
be upward on the screen. 3D map mode
provides an
elevated perspective of the map.
This viewing angle can be
adjusted and the map can be
rotated 180 degrees by touching
the map twice, and then dragging your
finger along the shaded bar with arrows at
the bottom of the map.
