MIST: For a single wiping cycle, push
the lever upward and release. The
wipers will operate continuously if
the lever is held in this position.
OFF: Wiper is not in operation.
INT: Wiper operates intermittently at the same wiping intervals. To vary
the speed setting, move the speed

will run the wipers most frequently
(for more rain). The bottom setting
will run the wipers the least
frequently (for less rain).
AUTO : (if equipped) The rain sensor located
on the upper end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and
controls the wiping cycle
for the proper interval. The
more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates. When the
rain stops, the wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting,
turn the speed control knob
(B).
LO: The wiper runs at a lower speed.
HI: The wiper runs at a higher speed.
Information
If there is heavy accumulation of snow
or ice on the windshield, defrost the
windshield for about 10 minutes, or until
the snow and/or ice is removed before
using the windshield wipers to ensure
proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow and/or ice
before using the wiper and washer, it may
damage the wiper and washer system.

Information
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode when Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position, the wiper will operate once to perform a self-check of the system. Set the
wiper to the OFF position when the wiper is not in use.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury from the
windshield wipers, when the engine is running and the windshield wiper
switch is placed in the AUTO mode:
• Do not touch the upper end of the windshield glass facing the rain
sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of the windshield glass with a damp or wet
cloth.
• Do not put pressure on the windshield glass.

Windshield Washers
ODN8059209K
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently
toward you to spray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers 1-3
cycles. The spray and wiper operation
will continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may need
to add washer fluid to the washer fluid
reservoir.
WARNING
When the outside temperature is below
freezing, ALWAYS warm the windshield
using the defroster to help prevent
the washer fluid from freezing on the
windshield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death.
NOTICE
• To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers or windshield, do not operate
the wipers when the windshield is
dry.
• To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers and washer system, use anti-
freezing washer fluids in the winter
season or cold weather.

WARNING
• Never rely solely on the rear camera
display when backing-up.
• ALWAYS look around your vehicle
to make sure there are no objects or
obstacles before moving the vehicle
in any direction to prevent a collision.
• Always pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects,
particularly pedestrians, and
especially children.
NOTICE
• Do not spray the camera or its
surrounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from
high pressure water may cause the
device to not operate normally.
• Do not use any cleanser containing
acid or alkaline detergents when
cleaning the lens. Use only a mild
soap or neutral detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with water.
• Always keep the rear view camera
lens clean. If the lens is covered with
foreign material, it may adversely
affect camera performance and
Rear View Monitor may not operate
normally. However, do not use
chemical solvents such as strong
detergents containing high alkaline
or volatile organic solvents (gasoline,
acetone etc.). This may damage the
camera lens.

synthesized, the SVM view and
parking guidelines may differ from
the actual vehicle location. So, check
all directions for safety.
• Always keep the rear view camera
lens clean. If the lens is covered with
foreign material, it may adversely
affect camera performance and
Surround View Monitor may not
operate normally. However, do not

reverSe pArKinG colliSion-AvoiDAnce ASSiST
(if eQUippeD)
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist (PCA) is a supplemental system
that can warn the driver or apply braking
force to reduce the possibility of collision
with pedestrians when the vehicle is
reversing.
WARNING
• Always look around your vehicle to make sure there are no objects or
pedestrian before moving the vehicle
in any direction to prevent a collision.
• Do not solely rely on Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist system.
The system might not assist the
driver leading to pedestrian injury or
vehicle damage.
• Be aware that some objects may not be visible on the screen or be
detected by the rear ultrasonic
sensors, due to the objects’ distance,
size or material, all of which can limit
the effectiveness of the sensors.
System Setting and Operation
System setting
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-
Reverse (PCA-R) can be activated from
the Settings menu in the LCD display or
infotainment system display by following
the procedure below.
1. Set the Engine Start/Stop button to
the ON or START position.
2. Select ‘User Settings → Driver Assistance → Parking Safety → Active
Assist / Warning Only / Off’ in the
LCD display or infotainment system
display.
- The system is ready for operation when 'Active Assist' is selected. In
the event of an imminent collision
with a pedestrian or an object, the
system warns the driver or applies
braking force to help avoid the collision.
- The system is ready for operation when 'Warning Only' is selected. In
the event of an imminent collision
with a pedestrian, the system warns
the driver but does not assist in
braking.
- The system deactivates when 'Off' is selected.

Operating conditions
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist system enters the ready status,
when 'Active Assist' or 'Warning Only' is
selected in the AVN system screen and
the following conditions are satisfied:
• The trunk is closed
• The shift lever is in R (Reverse)
• Vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6 mph)
• System components such as the rear
view camera and the rear ultrasonic
sensors are in normal conditions
The driver needs to select 'Active Assist'
on the LCD display or infotainment
system display for collision-avoidance
assist.
The solid lines behind the vehicle in the
cluster LCD display indicates that the
system is ready to assist the driver.
Note that the system assists the driver
only once. The driver has to shift the gear
to R (Reverse) from another gear position
to reactivate the system.
The performance of Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist system may
vary under certain conditions. If the
vehicle speed exceeds 3 km/h (2 mph),
the system can assist only pedestrian
collision avoidance.
As always, be careful when backing
up your vehicle and be aware of your
surroundings.
