REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
RearView Monitor. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
• The system cannot completely eliminate
blind spots and may not show every
object.
• Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not show small objects below the
bumper, and may not show objects close
to the bumper or on the ground.
• Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor
differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used. •
Objects in the RearView Monitor will ap-
pear visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rearview and outside
mirrors.
• Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehicle posi-
tion, road conditions and road grade.
• Make sure that the liftgate is securely
closed when backing up.
• Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is installed
above the license plate.
• 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 precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion or cause damage resulting in a fire or
an electric shock.

WARNING
• The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
also not be left alone. They could acci-
dentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures 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 interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.

HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER
(automatic)
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-35

Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.
NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the vehiclecan build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air con- ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Press the AUTO button to set the automatic
control mode that keeps the air distribution,
temperature and the fan speed auto-
matically.
Cooling and/or dehumidified
heating (AUTO)
This mode may be used all year round as the
system automatically works to keep a con-
stant temperature. Air flow distribution, air
intake control, and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
1. Press the
CLIMATE button on the
lower display menu. The CLIMATE screen
will display on the lower display. 2. Press the AUTO button on. (The indicator
on the button will illuminate and AUTO
will be displayed on the CLIMATE screen.)
3. Press the
temperature control
buttons on the driver’s side to set the de-
sired temperature.
• The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automatically.
Air flow distribution, air intake control and
fan speed are also controlled automatically.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
Dehumidified defrosting or
defogging
1. Press thefront defroster button on.
(The indicator light on the button will
come on.)
2. Operate the
temperature con-
trol buttons to set the desired
temperature.
• To quickly remove ice from the outside of the windows, use the
fan speed con-
trol button or the “” key to set the fan
speed to maximum. • As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, press the AUTO button to return to
the automatic mode.
•
When thefront defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automatically
be turned on at outside temperatures ap-
proximately 32°F (0°C) to defog the wind-
shield. The air recirculate mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment to further
improve the defogging performance.
Remote Engine Start with
Intelligent Climate Control (if so
equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate con-
trols and Remote Engine Start function may go
into automatic heating or cooling mode when
Remote Engine Start is activated depending on
outside and cabin temperatures. During this
period, the climate control display and buttons
will be inoperable until the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. In Remote Engine
Start defrosting mode, the rear window de-
froster, heated seat (if so equipped) and heated
steering wheel (if so equipped) may be acti-
vated automatically. In Remote Engine Start
cooling mode, the climate controlled seat (if so
equipped) may be activated automatically.
4-36Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

Voice Recognition logic (if so
equipped)
When the climate control system is on, the
fan speed may be automatically lowered so
that commands are more easily recognized.
Fan speed can be adjusted using the
fan
speed decrease andincrease buttons, if
desired.
MANUAL OPERATION
Fan speed control
Press thefan speed increase andfan speed decrease buttons to manually con-
trol the fan speed. Fan speed can also be
controlled by touching the “
”or“”
keys on the lower display.
Press the AUTO button to return to auto-
matic control of the fan speed.
Temperature control
Press thetemperature control
buttons up or down to set the desired
temperature.
The temperature can be set within the fol-
lowing range:
• For U.S.: 60 to 90°F (16 to 32°C)
• For Canada: 64 to 90°F (18 to 32°C)
Air recirculation
Press theair recirculation button to
recirculate interior air inside the vehicle. The
indicator light on the button will come
on.
The air recirculation cannot be activated
when the air conditioner is in the
front
defrosting mode.
When the outside temperature exceeds 70°F
(21°C), the air conditioning system may de-
fault to air recirculation mode automatically
to reduce overall power consumption. To exit
air recirculation mode, deselect the
air
recirculation button (indicator will turn off) to
enter fresh air mode.
Automatic intake air control
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be
controlled automatically. To manually control
the intake air, press the

button. To return to the automatic control
mode, press and hold the
air recircula-
tion button for about 2 seconds. The indica-
tor light will flash twice, and then the intake
air will be controlled automatically.
Air flow control
Press thebutton to manually control air
flow. Pressing the button repeatedly will
cycle through the available modes and dis-
play the corresponding icon on the lower dis-
play. Air flow can also be controlled by touch-
ing the “
” key on the lower display:
— Air flows from center and side
vents.
— Air flows from center and sidevents and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot out-lets.

OPERATING TIPS
The sensors,OAandOBon the instrument
panel, help the system maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or
around these sensors. • When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air may
flow from defroster or foot outlets to ini-
tialize automatic heating mode. This is not a
malfunction. After the coolant temperature
warms up, air will flow normally from the
foot outlets
• 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.
