AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CON-
TROL SYSTEM
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified heat-
ing (AUTO)
This mode can be used all year round. The
system works automatically to control the
inside temperature, air flow distribution and
fan speed after the preferred temperature is
set manually.
1. Push . (The indicator on the
button will illuminate and “AUTO” will
be displayed on the CLIMATE screen.)
2. Push <
>and <>on the driver’s side
to set the desired temperature.
. The temperature of the passenger com-
partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution and fan speed
will also be controlled automatically.
. When the DUAL mode is turned on, you
can individually set the driver’s and front
passenger side temperatures by pushing
<
>and <>on the corresponding
side. To turn on the DUAL mode, touch
[DUAL] on the lower display (“AUTO”
will be displayed on the lower display). To disable the front passenger side
temperature control, touch [DUAL] and
turn off the DUAL mode.
INFO:
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.
Heating (A/C off)
The air conditioner does not activate in this
mode. When you need to heat only, use this
mode.
1. Touch [A/C] on the lower display. The A/C indicator will turn off.
2. Push <
>and <>on the driver’s side
to set the desired temperature.
INFO:
. When set the AUTO mode, the tempera-
ture of the passenger compartment will
be maintained automatically. Air flow
distribution and fan speed are also
controlled automatically.
. Do not set the temperature lower than
the outside air temperature. Otherwise,

from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with in-
creased distance from the station transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be
reduced by lowering the treble setting to
reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.
AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can bounce
off the ionosphere and be bent back to
earth. Because of these characteristics, AM
signals are also subject to interference as
they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles exist.Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception
(for U.S.)
HD RadioTMTechnology reception needs to
be activated to receive HD Radio broad-
casts.
“Audio settings” (page 4-32)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available), providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When
this feature is not activated or HD Radio
broadcasts are not available, you will receive
analog radio (AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This is
not a malfunction. Wait more than 10
minutes with the satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large building
for the satellite radio to receive all of the
necessary data.
SiriusXM® services require a subscription
after trial period and are sold separately or
as a package. The satellite service is avail- able only in the 48 contiguous USA and DC.
SiriusXM® satellite service is also available
in Canada; see www.siriusxm.ca.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.

BLUETOOTH® STREAMING
AUDIO
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
Streaming Audio.
If you have a compatible Bluetooth® device
with streaming audio (A2DP profile), you
can set up a wireless connection between
your Bluetooth® device and the in-vehicle
audio system. This connection allows you to
listen to the audio from the Bluetooth®
device using your vehicle speakers. It also
may allow basic control of the device for
playing and skipping audio files using the
AVRCP Bluetooth® profile. Not all Blue-
tooth® devices have the same level of
controls for AVRCP. Please consult the
manual for your Bluetooth® device for more
details.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth®
functions share the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth® and the
wireless LAN functions at the same time
may slow down or disconnect the commu-
nication and cause undesired noise. It is
recommended that you turn off the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth®
functions.

AROUND VIEW® MONITOR (if
so equipped)

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for the proper use of the
Around View® Monitor system could
result in serious injury or death.. The Around View® Monitor is a con-
venience feature and is not a sub- stitute for proper vehicle operation
because it has areas where objects
cannot be viewed. The four corners of
the vehicle in particular, are areas
where objects do not always appear
in the bird’s-eye, front, or rear views.
Always check your surroundings to be
sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle slowly. Always look outthe windows and check mirrors to be
sure that it is safe to move.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other man-
euvers.
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: . Bird’s-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
