Power Folding
With the power mirror control knob in the
neutral position, rotate it to the power
folding position. Rotate the knob back to
the neutral position to return the mirrors
to the driving position.
If the power mirror control knob is moved
again during door mirror folding (from
closed to open position and vice versa),
the movement direction is reversed.
Automatic Activation
Activating the central door locking
system from outside the vehicle
automatically folds the mirrors. The
mirrors return to the driving position
when the vehicle is then unlocked.
If the door mirrors were folded using the
power mirror control knob, they can only
be returned to the driving position by
rotating the knob again.Note:
The power folding operation can
be enabled only when the vehicle speed is
lower than 31 mph (50 km/h).
Automatic Dimming Mirrors — If
Equipped
Like the electrochromic mirror, an
automatic dimming feature is also
available on the outside rear view mirrors
to prevent glare. The automatic dimming
button for these mirrors is the same as
the electrochromic mirror.
Warning!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside
convex mirror will look smaller and farther
away than they really are. Relying too much
on side convex mirrors could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or other object.
Use your inside mirror when judging the size
or distance of a vehicle seen in a side convex
mirror.
Heated Mirrors
Push the rear defrostbutton, located
within the climate controls, to activate
the heated mirrors.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS
Headlight Switch
The headlight switch is located to the left
of the steering wheel on the instrument
panel. This switch controls the operation
of the headlights, parking lights,
instrument panel lights, instrument panel
light dimming, interior lights and rear fog
lights.
In addition, there are buttons for parking
sensors deactivation and stop/start.
Refer to “Starting And Operating” for
further information.

Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate
Control System adjusts the temperature
and air distribution independently
between the driver and passenger.
The system maintains the set
temperature inside the passenger
compartment and compensates for
outside temperature change.
Note:The reference temperature is 72
°F (22 °C) for optimal comfort
management.
The automatic setting will adjust the
following to maintain comfort within the
passenger compartment:
Air temperature from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Air distribution from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Fan speed (continuous variation of the
air flow)
Compressor variations (for
cooling/dehumidifying the air)
Air recirculation
The Climate Control System can also be
operated manually by using the buttons
and knobs on the faceplate. Manual selections will override the
automatic settings, which are stored until
the AUTO button is pushed. If the system
intervenes for safety reasons, the
automatic setting will take control of the
system.
The below operations will not deactivate
the automatic (AUTO) function:
Air Recirculation activation/
deactivation
A/C activation/deactivation
SYNC function activation
Rear Window Defrost activation/
deactivation
When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s
internal temperature is controlled
according to the set temperature.
The following can be manually set or
adjusted:
Driver/passenger air temperature
Blower speed (continuous variation)
Air distribution (seven positions for
driver and passenger)
A/C activation
Front Defroster
