GENERAL INFORMATION
Condensation in the Exterior Front
Lamps and Rear Lamps
Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have
vents to accommodate normal changes in
air pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is a
possibility that condensation can occur when
the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on
the interior of the lens. The fine mist
eventually clears and exits through the vents
during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens. Examples of unacceptable condensation are:
•
A water puddle inside the lamp.
• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.

Left and Right Information Group
Information that appears depends on current
gauge view and on-demand settings. See
General Information (page 130).
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates about how much
fuel is in the fuel tank.
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of your vehicle the
fuel filler door is located. Note:
The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a slope.
Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank. Changes in driving pattern can
cause the value to not only decrease but also
increase or stay constant for periods of time
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty reaches
75 mi (120 km)
to empty for MyKey, and at
50 mi (80 km), 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km)
and 0 mi (0 km) for all vehicle keys. Note:
The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge WARNING:
Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with
a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of
scalding and slowly remove the cap.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury.

•
Do not place objects onto the transparent
cover, as they may block you from seeing
portions of the image. These objects
could also damage the cover and affect
the quality of the projected image.
• The system uses a special windshield
designed to provide the optimum image
quality. You must replace the windshield
in a vehicle with this system with a
certified original equipment
manufactured (OEM) head up display
windshield. Replacing this system's
windshield with a non-head up display
windshield causes a double image or
distorted image. Have an authorized
dealer or authorized repair facility replace
the windshield.
• Light conditions such as oncoming
headlamps, sunrise, sunset or reflections
off road surfaces can affect the driver's
ability to see the HUD image.
• Clean the windshield often for optimal
HUD performance. See Cleaning the
Windows and Wiper Blades (page 381).

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
Note:
Depending on your vehicle option
package, the controls may look different
from what you see here.
Note: You can switch temperature units
between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Note: You can control some of the climate
features through the touchscreen.
Note: For Hybrid vehicles, the air
conditioning compressor may run and airflow
may be felt when the climate control is off
to provide cooling to the battery.
Accessing the Air Distribution Controls Press and release the button to
activate the selection screen. From the screen you can direct air to the
windshield, instrument panel or footwell
vents. You can direct air through any
combination of these vents. See Climate
(page 482).
Accessing the Climate Control Menu Press and release the button to
access additional controls for the
front climate system.
Accessing Rear Climate Controls Press and release the button to
access additional controls for the
rear climate system.

side of the climate control upward or
downward to set the right-hand temperature.
Switching Auto Mode On and Off Press and release the button to
switch on automatic operation.
Repeatedly press the button to
adjust auto mode. The system adjusts the blower motor speed,
air distribution, air conditioning operation,
and outside or recirculated air to reach and
maintain the temperature you have set.
Under high humidity conditions, the system
adjusts the blower motor speed, air
distribution and air conditioning operation
to reduce window fogging.
Note:
The system starts at the previous
setting when you switch on AUTO mode.
Note: You can also switch off dual zone
mode by pressing and holding the button for
more than two seconds.

Switching the Air Conditioning On and
Off Press and release the button.
Use air conditioning with recirculated air to
improve cooling performance and efficiency. Note:
In certain conditions, such as
maximum defrost, the air conditioning
compressor may continue to operate even
though you switch off the air conditioning.
Note: The A/C LED light may turn on and off
based on the temperature setting or the
current conditions. Switching the Climate Control On and
Off Press and release the button.
Note: Your vehicle may not have a physical
button. You can use the touchscreen to turn

Switching Maximum Air Conditioning
On and Off
Press and release the button for
maximum cooling.
The driver and passenger temperatures are
set to LO, recirculated air flows through the
instrument panel air vents, air conditioning
turns on and the blower motor adjusts to the
highest speed.
Switching Maximum Defrost On and
Off Press and release the button for
maximum defrosting.
The driver and passenger temperatures are
set to HI, air flows through the windshield air
vents, and the blower motor adjusts to the
highest speed.
Note: Depending on your region, air
conditioning turns on.
You can also use this setting to defog and
clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice. Note:
To prevent window fogging, you
cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.
Note: The heated rear window also turns on
when you select maximum defrost.
Switching Recirculated Air On and Off Press and release the button to
switch between outside air and
recirculated air.
The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. This may reduce
the time needed to cool the interior, when
used with A/C, and reduce unwanted odors
from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off, or
prevent you from switching on, in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency. HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.
