WARNING

•

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Mov-
ing Object Detection system could
result in serious injury or death.

•

The MOD system is not a substitute
for proper vehicle operation and is
not designed to prevent contact with
objects

surrounding

the

vehicle.

When maneuvering, always use the
outside mirrors and rearview mirror
and turn and check the surroundings
to ensure it is safe to maneuver.

•

The system is deactivated at speeds
above 5 mph (8 km/h). It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.

•

The MOD system is not designed to
detect

surrounding

stationary

objects.

The MOD system can inform the driver of
moving objects near the vehicle when
backing out of garages, maneuvering in
parking lots and in other such instances.

The MOD system detects moving objects
by using image processing technology on
the image shown in the display.

MOD SYSTEM OPERATION

The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions:
• When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)

position.

• When vehicle speed decreases below ap-

proximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and the
camera screen is displayed.

The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is
displayed:
• When the shift lever is in the P (Park) or N

(Neutral) position and the vehicle is
stopped, the MOD system detects mov-
ing objects in the bird’s-eye view. The
MOD system will not operate if the out-
side mirrors are moving in or out, in the
stowed position, or if either front door is
opened.

position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD
system detects moving objects in the
front view.

• When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)

position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD
system detects moving objects in the
rear view. The MOD system will not oper-
ate if the trunk is open.

The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD
icon is not displayed on the screen when in
this view.

When the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects near the vehicle, a chime will be heard
and a yellow frame will be displayed on the
view where the objects are detected. While
the MOD system continues to detect mov-
ing objects, the yellow frame continues to
be displayed.

NOTE:

While the RCTA chime (if so equipped) is
beeping, the MOD system does not chime

In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow frame

The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, di-
rection, distance or shape of the
moving objects.

•

If your vehicle sustains damage to
the parts where the camera is in-
stalled, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered and
the MOD system may not detect ob-
jects properly.

•

When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not dis-
play objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.

NOTE:
The blue MOD icon will change to or-
ange if one of the following has oc-
curred:

•

When the system is malfunctioning.

•

WARNING

•

The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.

•

Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be left alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures 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 inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.

NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the ve-

hicle can build up in the air conditioner

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

OPERATING TIPS

The sunload sensor, located on the top
center of the instrument panel, helps the
system maintain a constant temperature.
Do not put anything on or around this
sensor.

• When the climate system is in automatic

operation and the engine coolant tem-
perature and outside air temperature are
low, the air flow outlet may default to de-
froster mode for a maximum of 2 min-
utes 30 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion.

After

the

engine

coolant

temperature warms up, the air flow outlet
will return to foot mode and operation will
continue normally.

• When the outside and interior cabin tem-

peratures are moderate to high, the in-
take setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may occur
when the previous climate setting was
turned off. This is not a malfunction. After
the initial warm air is expelled, the intake
will return to automatic control, the air
flow outlet will return to previous settings,
and operation will continue normally. To
exit, press any climate control button.

• Keep the moonroof (if so equipped)

closed while the air conditioner is in
operation.

• If you feel that the air flow mode you have

selected and the outlets the air is coming
out do not match, select the

mode.

• When you change the air flow mode, you

may feel air flow from the foot outlets for
just a moment. This is not a malfunction.
