•Objects viewed in the RearView
Monitor differ from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
• Objects in the RearView Monitor will
appear visually opposite compared
to when viewed in the rearview and
outside mirrors.
• Use the displayed lines as a refer-
ence. The lines are highly affected by
the number of occupants, fuel level,
vehicle position, road conditions and
road grade.
• Make sure that the tailgate is se-
curely closed when backing up.
• Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled on the tailgate.
• When washing the vehicle with high
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing
water condensation on the lens, a
malfunction, fire or an electric shock.
• Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage result-
ing in a fire or an electric shock. The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
• When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not clearly display
objects.
• When strong light directly shines on the camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
• Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected
light from the bumper.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the RearView Monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects.
• Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a dark environment.
• There may be a delay when switching between views.
• If dirt, rain or snow accumulate on the camera, RearView Monitor may not dis-
play objects clearly. Clean the camera.
• Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with a diluted mild cleaning agent, then
wipe with a dry cloth.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thin-
ner to clean the camera. This will
cause discoloration.
• Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the cam-
era
O1, the RearView Monitor may not dis-
play objects clearly. Clean the camera by
wiping it with a cloth dampened with a di-
luted mild cleaning agent and then wiping it
with a dry cloth.

Adjust air flow direction for the vents di-
rected at the driver's and passenger's side
windows
O1, driver and passengerO2,or
center
O3by moving the vent slide and/or
vent assemblies. Open or close the driver
and passenger vents by using the dial.
Move the dial toward the
to open the
vents or toward theto close them.
WARNING
• The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, 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 inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the ve- hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

• When theposition is selected, the air
conditioner automatically turns on if the
outside temperature is more than 36°F
(2°C). This dehumidifies the air which
helps defog the windshield. The
mode automatically turns off, allowing
outside air to be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to further improve the
defogging performance. The recircula-
tion mode cannot be activated in the
position.
Bi-level heating
The bi-level mode directs warmed air to
the side and center vents and to the front
and rear floor outlets.
1. Press the
button to the OFF posi-
tion. The indicator light on thebut-
ton will go off.
2. Press the
air flow control button.
3. Turn the
fan speed control dial to
the desired position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position.
Heating and defogging
This mode heats the interior and defogs
the windshield.
1. Press the
air flow control button.
2. Turn the
fan speed control dial to

air flow control
button is selected for more than 1 minute,
the air conditioning system will continue
to operate until the
fan speed con-
trol dial is turned to OFF, the vehicle is
shut off, or the A/C button is used to turn
off the compressor even if the air flow
control dial is turned to a position other
than the
position. This dehumidi-
fies the air which helps defog the wind-
shield. The
mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment to fur-
ther improve the defogging perfor-
mance.
Operating tips
Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades
and air inlet in front of the windshield.
This improves heater operation.

and dehumidif y the air.
1. Press the
air flow control button.
2. Turn the
fan speed control dial to
the desired position. • When the
orare selected, the
air conditioner automatically turns on if
the outside temperature is more than 36°
F (2° C). This dehumidifies the air which
helps defog the windshield. The
mode automatically turns off, allowing
outside air to be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to further improve the
defogging performance.
• The air conditioner is always on in the
mode, regardless of whether the in-
dicator light is on or off.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position.
Operating tips
• Keep the windows and moonroof (if soequipped) closed while the air condi-
tioner is in operation.
• Af ter parking in the sun, drive for two or three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger com-
partment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the inte-
rior more quickly. •
The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
• If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. For additional
information, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency ” section of this manual.AIR FLOW CHARTS
The following charts show the button and
dial positions for MAXIMUM AND QUICK
heating, cooling or defrosting. The air re-
circulation (
) button should always
be in the OFF position for heating and
defrosting.
