Auto Defogging System
(Only for Automatic Climate
Control System, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibil-
ity of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture on inside the wind-
shield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on.
Information
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside
temperature is below 50 °F (-10 °C).When the Auto Defogging
System operates, the indi-
cator will illuminate.
If high levels of moisture are sensed in
the vehicle, the Auto Defogging System
will operate in the following order:
Step 1: Outside air position
Step 2:Operating the air conditioning
Step 3: Blowing air toward the wind-
shield
Step 4: Increasing air flow toward the
windshield
If the air conditioning is off or recircu-
lated air position is manually selected
while Auto Defogging System is ON,
the Auto Defogging System Indicator
will blink 3 times to signal that the
manual operation has been canceled.
To cancel or reset the
Auto Defogging System
Press the front windshield defroster
button for 3 seconds when the ignition
switch is in the ON position. When the
Auto Defogging System is canceled,
the ADS OFF symbol will blink 3 times
and ADS OFF will be displayed on the
climate control information screen.When the Auto Defogging System is
reset, the ADS OFF symbol will blink
6 times without a signal.
Information
• When the air conditioning is turned
on by Auto defogging system, if you
try to turn off the air conditioning, the
indicator will blink 3 times and the air
conditioning will not be turned off.
• For efficiency, do not select recircu-
lated air position while the Auto
defogging system is operating.
• When Auto defogging mode is
selected, fan speed, temperature and
intake mode which is adjusted man-
ually are canceled for better defog-
ging result.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
windshield glass.
Damage to system parts could
occur and may not be covered by
your vehicle warranty.

How Vehicle Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then processed by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear.This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long distance, low
frequency radio waves can follow the
curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight. In addition, they
curve around obstructions resulting
in better signal coverage.

FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver is
responsible for controlling the
vehicle operation. Do not
solely depend on FCA. Rather,
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA may activate pre-
maturely. This initial warning
message appears on the LCD
display with a warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor may not
detect the vehicle ahead. FCA
may not activate and the
warning message will not be
displayed.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
If there is a malfunction with
FCA, the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist is not
applied even though the brak-
ing system is operating nor-
mally.
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
FCA may activate during brak-
ing and the vehicle may stop
suddenly shifting loose
objects toward the passen-
gers. Always keep loose
objects secured.
FCA may not activate if the
driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid a collision.
The brake control may not
work, possibly causing a colli-
sion, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Occupants may get injured, if
the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated FCA. Pay
extreme caution.
