Air conditioning
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the air conditioning button.
3. Select the Face Level mode.
4. Set the air intake control to
Recirculation mode temporarily to
allow the cabin to cool quickly.
When the desired temperature in
the cabin is reached, change the
air intake control back to Fresh
mode.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and
temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control to the
MAX A/C position, then set the fan
speed control to the highest setting.
Air conditioning system operation
tips
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from recircu-
lation mode to fresh mode.
To help decrease the humidity
inside the vehicle on rainy or humid
days, operate the air conditioning
system with the windows and sun-
roof closed. It is useful to operate the air condi-
tioning system periodically through-
out the year. Turn on the A/C sys-
tem at least once a month for a few
minutes to maintain system pres-
sure and help optimize A/C per-
formance.
Note that if you operate the air con-
ditioner to cool your vehicle with
the mode set to or when
the outside relative humidity is
high, moisture may collect on the
outer surface of the windshield
glass causing the windshield to fog
up on the outside and limit your
visibility.
If this occurs, use the windshield
wipers to clear the glass. In addi-
tion, change the mode selection
knob or button on the climate con-
trol system to the mode to
redirect cooling air away from the
windshield.

Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The camera is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
The camera lens is contaminated
due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the camera
The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The camera sensor recognition is
limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The camera does not recognize
the entire vehicle in front.
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.) The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights properly turned ON
The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
Light coming from a street light or
an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle in the road
The field of view in front is
obstructed by sun glare
The vehicle drives inside a build-
ing, such as a basement parking
lot
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The camera is damaged.
The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel. The shadow is on the road by a
median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll-
gate.
The windshield glass is fogged up;
a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The rear part of the vehicle in front
is not normally visible (for example,
the vehicle is spinning or the vehi-
cle is overturned)
The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The vehicle in front is driving errat-
ically
The vehicle in front is moving verti-
cally to the driving direction
The vehicle in front is stopped ver-
tically
The vehicle in front is driving
towards your vehicle or reversing
You are on a roundabout and the
vehicle in front circles

Driving on a steep grade, over a hill,
or when driving on a curved road.
The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
The surrounding of the inside rear
view mirror temperature is high
due to direct sunlight, etc.
When front visibility is poor
The windshield or the camera lens
is blocked with dirt or debris.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a
clear view of the road is obstructed.
Placing objects on the dashboard,
etc.
The sensor cannot detect the lane
because of fog, heavy rain or snow.LKA Function Change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning from the LCD dis-
play. Go to the 'User Settings →
Driver Assistance →Lane Safety →
Lane Departure Warning/LKA/Active
LKA.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW mode alerts the driver with a
visual warning and a warning alarm
when the system detects the vehicle
departing the lane. The steering
wheel will not be controlled.
LKA
LKA mode guides the driver to help
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel,
when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to con-
trol the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate out of the
lanes.
Active LKA
Active LKA mode provides more fre-
quent steering wheel control in com-
parison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver’s fatigue to assist the steering for
maintaining the vehicle in the middle
of the lane.
