Auto Defogging System (Only
for Automatic Climate Control
System, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibility of
fogging up the inside of the windshield by
automatically sensing the moisture of
inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is on.
Information
The auto defogging system may not oper-
ate normally, when the outside tempera-
ture is below 50 °F (-10 °C).When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indica-
tor will illuminate.
If higher level of moisture are sensed in
the vehicle, the Auto Defogging System
will operate in the following order:
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 3 : Blo wing air toward the wind-
shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
If the air conditioning is off or recirculated
air position is manually selected while
Auto Defogging System is ON, the Auto
Defogging System Indicator will blink 3
times to signal that the manual operation
has been canceled.
To cancel or reset the
Auto Defogging System
Press the front windshield defroster but-
ton for 3 seconds when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. When the
Auto Defogging System is canceled,
ADS OFF symbol will blink 3 times and
the ADS OFF will be displayed on the cli-
mate control information screen.
When the Auto Defogging System is
reset, ADS OFF symbol will blink 6 times
without a signal.
Information
• When the air conditioning is turned on by Auto defogging system, if you try to
turn off the air conditioning, the indica-
tor will blink 3 times and the air condi-
tioning will not be turned off.
• For efficiency, do not select recirculated air position while Auto defogging system
is operating.
• When Auto defogging mode is selected, fan speed, temperature and intake mode
which is adjusted manually are canceled
for better defogging result.
Do not remove the sensor cover locat-
ed on the upper end of the driver side
windshield glass.
Damage to system parts could occur
and may not be covered by your vehi-
cle warranty.

How Vehicle Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your vehicle. This signal
is then processed by the radio and sent
to your vehicle speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors, such as the
distance from the radio station, close-
ness of other strong radio stations or the
presence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long distance, low frequency radio waves
can follow the curvature of the earth
rather than travelling straight. In addition,
they curve around obstructions resulting
in better signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade within
short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by build-
ings, mountains, and obstructions. This
can lead to undesirable or unpleasant
listening conditions which might lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are nor-
mal and do not indicate radio trouble:

Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
- The pedestrian is not fully detected bythe camera recognition system, for
example, if the pedestrian is leaning
over or is not fully walking upright.
- The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the camera
detection area.
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that
easily blends into the background,
making it difficult to be detected by the
camera recognition system.
- The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight or in sun
glare) or too dark (e.g. when driving on
a dark rural road at night).
- It is difficult to detect and distinguish the pedestrian from other objects in the
surroundings, for example, when there
is a group of pedestrians or a large
crowd.Information
In some instances, the AEB system may be
cancelled when subjected to electromag-
netic interference.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interfer- ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
i
i
Do not use the Automatic
Emergency Braking system when
towing a vehicle. Application of
the AEB system while towing
may adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing vehi-
cle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the
cab, or when the vehicle in front
of you has higher ground clear-
ance.
The AEB system is designed to
detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian in
the roadway through radar sig-
nals and camera recognition. It is
not designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.
Never try to test the operation of
the AEB system. Doing so may
cause severe injury or death.
