●If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION
●Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
●Keep the surface of the Camera Aiding
Sonars (parking sensors) (located on
the front and rear bumper fascia) free
from accumulations of snow, ice and
dirt. Do not scratch the surface of the
Camera Aiding Sonars (parking sen-
sors) when cleaning. If the Camera Aid-
ing Sonars (parking sensors) are cov-
ered, the accuracy of the Camera Aiding
Sonar’s (parking sensor’s) function will
be diminished.The system gives the tone for rear objects when
the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
When the objects are detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds
intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the color of the indicator turns yellow
and the rate of the blinking and the rate of the
tone increase. When the vehicle is very close to
the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns
red, and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3 seconds
when an object is detected by only the corner
Camera Aiding Sonar (parking sensor) and the
distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is no longer
near the vehicle.In the below cases, the Camera Aiding Sonar
(parking sensor) will be turned back on automati-
cally:
●When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
●When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
●When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.
●The Camera Aiding Sonar (parking sensor)
system can be permanently turned off using
the meter settings.
4-42Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
●When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is below ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph) , the MOD sys-
tem detects moving objects in the rear view.
The MOD system will not operate if the
liftgate is open.
The MOD system does not detect moving ob-
jects in the front-side view. The MOD icon is not
displayed on the screen when in this view.
When the MOD system detects moving objects
near the vehicle, a yellow frame will be displayed
on the view where the objects are detected.While the MOD system continues to detect mov-
ing objects, the yellow frame continues to be
displayed.
In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow frame
1is
displayed on each camera image (front, rear,
right, left) depending on where moving objects
are detected.
The yellow frame is displayed on each view in the
front view and rear view modes.
While the RCTA chime (if so equipped) is beep-
ing, the MOD system does not chime.A blue MOD icon
2is displayed in the view
where the MOD system is operative. A gray MOD
icon is displayed in the view where the MOD
system is not operative.

WARNING
●The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
●Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
●Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.

CD or USB with Compressed Audio
Files (models without Navigation
System)
The file types supported by this system are MP3
and WMA.
Explanation of terms
●MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital audio
file format. This format allows for near “CD
quality” sound, but at a fraction of the size of
normal audio files. MP3 conversion of an
audio track from CD-ROM can reduce the
file size by approximately a 10:1 ratio with
virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3
compression removes the redundant and
irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the
human ear doesn’t hear.
●WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a
compressed audio format created by Micro-
soft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression than
the MP3 codec, enabling storage of more
digital audio tracks in the same amount of
space when compared to MP3s at the same
level of quality.●Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital music file.
The size and quality of a compressed digital
audio file is determined by the bit rate used
when encoding the file.
●Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency
is the rate at which the samples of a signal
are converted from analog to digital (A/D
conversion) per second.
●Multisession — Multisession is one of the
methods for writing data to media. Writing
data once to the media is called a single
session, and writing more than once is called
a multisession.
●ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the
part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that
contains information about the digital music
file such as song title, artist, encoding bit
rate, track time duration, etc. ID3 tag infor-
mation is displayed on the Artist/song title
line on the display.
