Air intake selector
Outside or recirculated air positions can be
selected. Press the switch to select outside/
recirculated air positions.
Recirculated air position (
)
Outside air is shut off. Use this position
when going through tunnels, driving in
congested traffic (high engine exhaust
areas) or when quick cooling is desired.
Outside air position (
)
Outside air is allowed to enter the cabin.
Use this mode for ventilation or
windshield defrosting.
WA R N I N G
Do not use the position in cold or rainy
weather:
Using the
position in cold or rainy
weather is dangerous as it will cause the
windows to fog up. Your vision will be
hampered, which could lead to a serious
accident.
SYNC (Synchronized Temperature)
switch
Use the SYNC switch to change the mode
between the individual operation (driver
and passenger) and interconnection
(simultaneous) modes.
Interconnection mode (indicator light
turns on)
The set temperature for the driver and
front passenger is controlled
simultaneously.
Individual operation mode (indicator
light turns off)
The set temperature can be controlled
individually for the driver and front
passenger.
Windshield defroster switch
Press the switch to defrost the windshield
and front door windows.
Refer to Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging on page 5-14.
Rear window defogger switch
Press the rear window defogger switch to
defrost the rear window.
Refer to Rear Window Defogger on page
4-86.
▼ Operation of Automatic Air
Conditioner
1. Press the AUTO switch. Selection of
the airflow mode, air intake selector
and amount of airflow will be
automatically controlled.
2. Use the temperature control dial to select a desired temperature.
If you want to set the temperature on
the front passenger's side separately
from the driver's si de, turn the front
passenger temperature control dial to
switch the mode automatically to the
individual operation mode and set the
temperature for the front passenger's
side.
To turn off the system, press the power
switch.
NOTE
Set the control dial to the recommended
temperature of 22 °C (72 °F), and then
adjust it as desired.

Setting the temperature to maximum hot
or cold will not provide the desired
temperature at a faster rate.
When selecting heat, the system will
restrict airflow until the engine has
warmed to prevent cold air from
blowing out of the vents.
▼Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging
Press the windshield
defroster switch.
In this position, the outside air position is
automatically selected, and the air
conditioner automatical ly turns on. The air
conditioner will directly dehumidify the
air to the front wi ndshield and side
windows on page 5-6.
Airflow amount will be increased.
WA R N I N G
Set the temperature control to the hot or
warm position when defogging (
position):
Using the
position with the temperature
control set to the cold position is
dangerous as it will cause the outside of the
windshield to fog up. Your vision will be
hampered, which could lead to a serious
accident.
NOTE
Use the temperature control dial to
increase the air flow temperature and
defog the windshie ld more quickly.

Voice Recognition
▼Basic Operation Method
Activating Voice Recognition
Press the talk button.
Ending Voice Recognition
Use one of the following methods:
Press the hang-up button.
Say, “Cancel”.
Operate the commander switch or the
center display (only when vehicle is
stopped).
Skipping Voice Guidance (for faster
operation)
Press and release the talk button.
Troubleshooting for Voice Recognition
If you do not understand an operation
method while in the voice recognition
mode, say “Tutorial” or “Help”.
Commands useable anytime during
voice recognition
“Go Back” and “Cancel” are commands
which can be used at anytime during voice
recognition.
Returning to pr evious operation
To return to the prev ious operation, say,
“Go Back” while in voice recognition
mode.
Cancel
To put the Bluetooth
® Hands-Free system
in standby mode, say, “Cancel” while in
voice recognition mode.
To prevent a deterioration in the voice
recognition rate and voice quality, the
following points sh ould be observed:
The voice recognition cannot be
performed while voice guidance or the
beep sound is operating. Wait until
the voice guidance or the beep sound
is finished before saying your
commands.
Phone related commands are available
only when your phone is connected via
Bluetooth
®. Make sure your phone is
connected via Bluetooth
® before you
operate phone related voice commands.
Music play commands, such as Play
Artist and Play Album can be used only
in USB audio mode.
Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no
loud voice).
Speak clearly, without pausing between
words or numbers.
Dialects or different wording other than
hands-free prompts cannot be
recognized by voic e recognition. Speak
in the wording speci fied by the voice
commands.
It is not necessary to face the
microphone or approach it. Speak the
voice commands while maintaining a
safe driving position.
Close the windows and/or the moonroof
to reduce loud noises from outside the
vehicle, or turn down the airflow of the
climate control system while Bluetooth
®
Hands-Free is being used.
Make sure the vents are not directing air
up towards the microphone.
NOTE
If the voice recognition performance is not
satisfactory.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading System (UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading system developed by the U.S. National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration for grading t ires by tread wear, traction, and temperature
performance.
▼ Tr e a d We a r
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear on e-and-a-half times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however,
and may depart significantly from the norm because of variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
▼ Traction-AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent the
tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as meas
ured under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and conc rete. A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
WA R N I N G
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and
does not include acceleration cornering (turning), hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
▼ Te m p e r a t u r e - A , B , C
The temperature grades A (the highest), B, and C, represent the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its abili
ty to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperatures can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger vehicle tires must meet
under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
