MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
● Do not use the MOD system when tow-
ing a trailer. The system may not func-
tion properly. ●
Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
● The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such
as:
– When there is low contrast between background and the moving objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when a mirror
is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving ob- jects in the display is not changed.
● The MOD system might detect flowing
water droplets on the camera lens,
white smoke from the muffler, moving
shadows, etc. ●
The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, direc-
tion, distance or shape of the moving
objects.
● If your vehicle sustains damage to the
parts where the camera is installed,
leaving it misaligned or bent, the sens-
ing zone may be altered and the MOD
system may not detect objects properly.
● When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not display
objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-31
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. NOTE:
● Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
● When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.

Operating tips
Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades
and air inlet in front of the windshield. This
improves heater operation.
AIR CONDITIONER OPERATION
Start the engine, turn thefan control dial to
the desired position, and press the
button
to activate the air conditioner. When the air con-
ditioner is on, cooling and dehumidifying func-
tions are added to the heater operation.
The air conditioner cooling function oper-
ates only when the engine is running.

This mode is used to cool and dehumidify the air.
1. Press the
button to the OFF position.
2. Press the
air flow control button.
3. Turn the
fan control dial to the desired
position.
4. Press the
button. 5. Turn the temperature control dial to the de-
sired position between the middle and the
cold position.
● For quick cooling when the outside tem-
perature is high, press the
button to
the ON position. Be sure to return the
to the OFF position for normal cooling. The
indicator light on the
button will go off.
You may also select MAX A/C for quick
cooling.
Dehumidified heating
This mode is used to heat and dehumidify the air.
1. Press the
button to the OFF position.
The indicator light on the
button will
go off.
2. Press the
air flow control button.
3. Turn the

1. Press the
front defroster button.
2. Turn the
fan control dial to the desired
position.
When the
orpositions are se-
lected, the air conditioner automatically turns on if
the outside temperature is more than 36°F (2°C) .
The air conditioning system will continue to op-
erate until the
fan control dial is turned to
OFF, the air conditioner is turned OFF, or the
vehicle is shut off, even if a position other than
the
air flow control button is selected.
Under this condition, the indicator light on the
A/C button indicator will not turn off if the user
had selected A/C off. Turning off the air condi-
tioning via the A/C button is not allowed in this
mode. If the A/C button indicator was on when
entering this mode, and the A/C button is se-
lected in this mode, the A/C button indicator will
turn off, but the A/C compressor will still be
automatically enabled. This dehumidifies the air
which helps defog the windshield. The
mode automatically turns off, allowing outside air
to be drawn into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging performance.

3. Turn the temperature control dial to the de-sired position.
Operating tips
●Keep the windows closed while the air con-
ditioner is in operation.
● After parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3 min-
utes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then,
close the windows. This allows the air con-
ditioner to cool the interior more quickly. ●
The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
● If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. For additional
information, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual.
AIR FLOW CHARTS
The following charts show the button and dial
positions for MAXIMUM AND QUICK heating,
cooling or defrosting. For additional information
on heating and cooling, refer to “Heater and air
conditioner (manual)” in this section. The air
recirculation (
) button should always
be in the OFF position for heating and
defrosting.

ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution, fan speed and A/C on/off
are also controlled automatically. The A/C
button indicator will remain in the last user
setting. Under this condition, the indicator
light on the A/C button indicator will not turn
on if the user had not selected the A/C

be automatically enabled. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Air flow control” in this
section.
To turn off the compressor, turn off auto
mode, then turn the A/C on then off until the
A/C button indicator is not lit.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a mal-
function.
