•The Around View® Monitor is a conve-
nience feature and is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
The four corners of the vehicle in par-
ticular, are areas where objects do not
always appear in the bird’s-eye, front,
or rear views. Always check your sur-
roundings to be sure that it is safe to
move before operating the vehicle. Al-
ways operate the vehicle slowly.
•The driver is always responsible for safety
during parking and other maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning dirt
or snow from the front of the camera.
The Around View® Monitor system is de-
signed as an aid to the driver in situations
such as slot parking or parallel parking.
The monitor displays various views of the
position of the vehicle in a split screen format.
All views are not available at all times.Available views:
•Front View
An approximately 150-degree view of the
front of the vehicle.
•Rear View
An approximately 150-degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
•Bird's-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle from
above.
•Front-Side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.To display the multiple views, the Around
View® Monitor system uses cameras1lo-
cated in the front grille, on the vehicle’s out-
side mirrors and one just above the vehicle’s
rear number plate.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations
on the ground are for approximate reference
only. Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or
projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in
the monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to
illustrations). When in doubt, turn around and
view the objects as you are backing up, or
park and exit the vehicle to view the position-
ing of objects behind the vehicle.

HOW TO PARK WITH
PREDICTED COURSE LINES
WARNING
•If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may not be displayed correctly.
•On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course.
•The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rear view
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.
•If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted course
lines may be displayed incorrectly. If this
occurs, please perform the following
procedures:
–Turn the steering wheel from lock to
lock while the engine is running.
–Drive the vehicle on a straight road
for more than 5 minutes.
•When the steering wheel is turned with
the ignition switch in the ACC position,
the predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.

NOTE
•The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD
icon is not displayed on the screen when in
this view.
•While the parking sensor warning tone is
sounding, the MOD system does not chime.
The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is dis-
played:
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 5 MPH (8 km/h ) or less, the MOD
system detects moving objects in the camera
view. The MOD system will not operate if the
lift gate is open.
When the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects near the vehicle, a chime will be heard
and a yellow frame

WARNING
•The heater and air conditioner operate
only when the engine is running.
•Never leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in the vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or controls
and inadvertently become involved in a
serious accident and injure themselves.
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.
•Do not adjust the heating and air condi-
tioning controls while driving so that
full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when
the engine is running. The air blower will op-
erate even if the engine is turned off and the
ignition switch is in the ON position.NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condi-
tioning unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are there-
fore normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise mist up. To prevent the windows from
misting up
•Switch off climate control only briefly.
•Switch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly.
•Switch on the cooling with air dehumidifi-
cation function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting func-
tion briefly, if required.The air-conditioning system/automatic cli-
mate control regulates the temperature and
the humidity of the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic cli-
mate control can only be operated when the
engine is running. Optimum operation is only
achieved with the side windows closed.
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear. Otherwise the vehicle will
not be ventilated correctly.
NOTE
•Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period dur-
ing warm weather. This will speed up the
cooling process and the desired interior
temperature will be reached more quickly.
•The integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. With automatic climate
control, gaseous pollutants and odors will
also be reduced. A clogged filter reduces
the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason, you should always
observe the interval for replacing the filter,
which is specified in the Service Booklet.
As this depends on environmental condi-
tions, for example heavy air pollution, the
interval may be shorter than stated in the
Service Booklet.
