vehicle width and distances to objects with
reference to the vehicle body line
, are
displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines
-:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
. Red line
: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
. Yellow line
: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
. Green line
: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
. Green line
(front view only): approx. 10
ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
:
Indicate the approximate vehicle width.
Predictive course lines
:
Indicate the predictive course when operat-
ing the vehicle. The predictive course lines
will move depending on how much the
steering wheel is turned. The predictive
course lines in the rear view will not be
displayed while the steering wheel is in the
straight ahead position.
The front view will not be displayed when
the vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10 km/h).
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or less from the straight ahead
position, both the right and left predictive course lines
are displayed. When the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the
opposite side of the turn.

Bird’s-eye view:
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead
view of the vehicle which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predictive course to
a parking space.
The vehicle icon
shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the distance between
objects viewed in the bird’s-eye view differs
from the actual distance.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
are indicated in black.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, the unviewable area
is high-
lighted in yellow for a few seconds after the
bird’s-eye view is displayed.

WARNING
.The heater and air conditioner oper-
ate 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 unknowingly 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
conditioning 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
operate even if the engine is turned off and
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position. 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.
. Vehicles with an automatic climate con-
trol system will automatically adjust the
passenger compartment to be the set
appropriate temperature when the re-
mote engine start feature (if so
equipped) is used.
HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER

The Plasmacluster®icon on the climate
screen indicates the status of the Plas-
macluster
®ion emission from the system
and changes with the amount of the air flow.
CLIMATE SETTINGS
Climate settings can be changed on the
climate settings screen on the lower display.
1. Push the MENU button and touch [Set-
tings] on the lower display.
2. Touch [Others].
3. Touch [Climate].
The displayed keys on the lower display may
vary depending on models, specifications
and software versions.
Available settings:
. Left/Right Seat Heater
The driver’s seat and front passenger
seat temperature settings for the auto-
matic seat heating control mode can be
changed separately. (See “Heated seats”
(P.2-42).)
. Steering Wheel Heater
The steering wheel heater can be turned
on/off. (See “Heated steering wheel”
(P.2-43).)
. Auto Steering Wheel Heater
The automatic control mode for the
steering wheel heater can be turned
on/off. When this item is turned on, the steering wheel heater will turn on auto-
matically if the temperature inside the
vehicle compartment is low at the time
when the ignition switch is turned on.
Regardless of the temperature, the
steering wheel heating will turn off after
30 minutes.
If the steering wheel heater is manually
turned on/off by touching [Steering
Wheel Heater] on the climate settings
screen, the automatic steering wheel
heating control mode will be canceled
and the system will return to the manual
mode.
NOTE:
If the surface temperature of the steer-
ing wheel is above the temperature at
which the system is designed to operate,
the system will not heat the steering
wheel. This is not a malfunction.

OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, the air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
