glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products. The
vehicle warranty may not cover damage

CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter, which gives you and your passengers
the following benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle and odor concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
You can locate the cabin air filter behind the
glove box.
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system. Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 475).
For additional cabin air filter information, or
to replace the filter, see a qualified
technician.
REMOTE START
You can switch this feature on or off and
adjust the settings using the information
display controls.
See Information Displays
(page 109).
The climate control system adjusts the
interior temperature during remote start.
You cannot adjust the climate control setting
during remote start operation. Switch the
ignition on to make adjustments.
Based on your remote start settings, the
following vehicle-dependent features may
or may not remain on after remote starting
your vehicle:
• Climate controlled seats.
• Heated steering wheel.
• Heated mirrors. •
Heated rear window.
• Windshield wiper de-icer.
Note: For dual zone climate controlled seats,
the passenger seat setting defaults to match
the driver seat during remote start.
Automatic Settings
If
Auto is on, the system sets the interior
temperature to 72°F (22°C) and heats or
cools the vehicle interior as required to
achieve comfort.
Note: In cold weather, the heated rear
window and heated mirrors turn on.
Last Settings
If
Last Settings is on, the system uses the
settings last selected before you turned off
the vehicle.
Heated and Cooled Features
In
Auto mode, certain heated features may
switch on during cold weather, and cooled
features during hot weather.

Possible Causes and Actions for This Message Displaying:
Action
Cause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object
causing the obstruction.
The surface of the radar is dirty or obstructed.
Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect
that it is free from obstruction.
The surface of the radar is clean but the message remains in the
display.
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect
any vehicles ahead.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect
any vehicles ahead.
Water, snow or ice on the surface of the road may interfere with the
radar signals.
Wait for a short time or switch to normal cruise control.
You are in a desert or remote area with no other vehicles and no
roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no actual block. This ha\
ppens, for example, when driving
in sparse rural or desert environments. A false blocked condition either self clears, or clears after you restart your vehicl\
e.
