CABIN AIR FILTER
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.
You can locate the cabin air filter behind the
glove box.
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
Scheduled Maintenance (page 321).
For additional cabin air filter information, or
to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer. REMOTE START

An irregular c](/manual-img/15/6920/w960_6920-164.png)
The system does not position your vehicle where I want in the space
Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the transmission (rolling forward when reverse [R] is selected).
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from aligning your vehicle properly.
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned correctly.
Your vehicle was pulled too far past the parking space. The system performs best when you drive the same distance past the parking space.
The tires may not be installed or maintained correctly (not inflated correctly, improper size, or of different sizes).
A repair or alteration has changed detection capabilities.
A parked vehicle has a high attachment (salt sprayer, snowplow, moving truck bed, etc).
The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after your vehicle passed.
The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (driving from a heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash).
You didn't wait for the steering to complete its rotation after a gear change. The system performs best when the steering wheel is allowed
to finish rotating before accelerating.
REAR VIEW CAMERA WARNINGS
The rear view camera system is a
reverse aid supplement device that still
requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and exterior
mirrors for maximum coverage. WARNINGS
Objects that are close to either corner
of the bumper or under the bumper,
might not be seen on the screen due to
the limited coverage of the camera system. Back up as slow as possible since
higher speeds might limit your reaction
time to stop the vehicle. WARNINGS
Use caution when using the rear video
camera and the trunk is ajar. If the trunk
is ajar, the camera will be out of
position and the video image may be
incorrect. All guidelines (if enabled) have
been removed when the trunk is ajar.

MKS (CLE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Parking Aids

WARNINGS
Use caution when turning camera
features on or off while in R (Reverse).
Make sure the vehicle is not moving.
The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your vehicle.
The image will display in either the rear view
mirror or the display in the center of the
instrument panel.
During operation, lines will appear in the
display that represent your vehicle
’s path and
proximity to objects behind your vehicle. The camera is located on the trunk. Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays what
is behind your vehicle when you place the
transmission in Reverse (R).
The system uses three types of guides to help
you see what is behind your vehicle:
•
Active guidelines: Show the intended
path of your vehicle when reversing.
• Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path
your vehicle is moving in while reversing
in a straight line. This can be helpful when
backing into a parking space or aligning
your vehicle with another object behind
you.
• Centerline (if applicable): Helps align the
center of your vehicle with an object
(trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in Reverse (R) and
the luggage compartment is ajar, no rear view
camera features will display.
Note: If the image comes on while the
transmission is not in Reverse (R), have the
system inspected by an authorized dealer. Note:
When towing, the camera only sees
what you are towing behind your vehicle. This
might not provide adequate coverage and you
might not see some objects. In some vehicles,
the guidelines may disappear once you
connect the trailer tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctly under
the following conditions:
• Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse
lamps are not operating.
• Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft,
lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
• The camera is misaligned due to damage
to the rear of your vehicle.
The rear view camera system settings can
be accessed through the information display.
See General Information (page 89). After
changing a system setting, the touch screen
shows a preview of the selected features.
Guidelines and the Centerline
Note: Active guidelines and fixed guidelines
are only available when the transmission is in
Reverse (R).
Note: The centerline is only available if Active
or Fixed guidelines are on.

F
If your vehicle is equipped with active
guidelines they are only available with fixed
guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn the
steering wheel to point the guidelines toward
an intended path. If you change the steering
wheel position while reversing, your vehicle
might deviate from the original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on your steering wheel
position. When your steering wheel position
is straight, the active guidelines are not
visible.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects
in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and
objects in the green zone are farther away.
Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as
they move from the green zone to the yellow
or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and
rear view mirror to get better coverage on
both sides and rear of your vehicle.
Enhanced Park Aids
Note: Enhanced park aids are only available
when the transmission is in Reverse (R). Note:
The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and
may not detect certain angular or moving
objects.
The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights that appear on top of the video
image when the reverse sensing system
detects an object. The alert highlights the
closest object detected. You can disable the
reverse sensing alert if you have visual park
aid alert enabled, you will still see the
displayed highlighted areas.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF.
Manual Zoom WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full area
behind your vehicle is not shown. Be
aware of your surroundings when using
the manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note: Only the centerline shows when you
enable manual zoom.
