Front-wide view / rear-wide viewWhen the MOD system detects moving
objects near the vehicle, the yellow frame
will be displayed on the view where the
objects are detected and a chime will sound
once. While the MOD system continues to
detect moving objects, the yellow frame
continues to be displayed.
In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow frame
is
displayed on each camera image (front, rear,
right, left) depending on where moving
objects are detected.
The yellow frame
is displayed on each
view in the front view, front-wide view, rear
view and rear-wide view modes.
While the sonar is beeping, the MOD system
does not chime.
A blue MOD icon
is displayed in the view
where the MOD system is operative. A gray
MOD icon
is displayed in the view where
the MOD system is not operative.
If the MOD system is turned off, the MOD
icon
is not displayed.
The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is dis-
played:

Adjust the air flow direction of the ventila-
tors by moving the center knob (up/down,
left/right) until the desired position is
achieved.
WARNING
.The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
. Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. 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
conditioning controls while driving so
that full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
Start the engine and operate the automatic
climate control system.
NOTE:
. Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger compartment through the ventilators.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.
