MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle in ac-
cordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
• Do not use the MOD system when tow-
ing a trailer. The system may not func-
tion properly.
• Excessive noise (for example, audio sys-
tem volume or open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard. •
The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as:
– When there is low contrast between
background and the moving objects.
– When there is a blinking source of
light.
– When strong light such as another
vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present.
– When camera orientation is not in its
usual position, such as when a mirror
is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or
snow on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving ob-
jects in the display is not changed.
• The MOD system might detect flowing
water droplets on the camera lens, white
smoke from the muffler, moving shad-
ows, etc.
• The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, direc-
tion, distance or shape of the moving
objects.LHA5292

Automatic air recirculation control with the
exhaust gas/outside odor detection sensor:
The Automatic Climate Control System
comes with an exhaust gas detection/
outside odor sensor. When the automatic air
circulation control is activated, the sensor de-
tects odors outside the vehicle such as pulp or
chemicals, and exhaust such as gasoline or
diesel. When such odors or gases are de-
tected the display and the system automati-
cally change from fresh air mode to the recir-
culation mode.
When the automatic air recirculation is on, for
the first 5 minutes, the air recirculation mode
is selected to prevent dust, dirt, and pollen
from entering the vehicle and to clean the air
inside of the vehicle.
After 5 minutes, the sensor detects exhaust
gas and automatically alternates between
