this icon to switch the heated
steering wheel on and off. It
takes about 5 minutes to warm
the steering wheel to 74°F

maintains an approximate
temperature of 90°F (32°C) and
operates independently from the
heated seats and other
climate-control functions. The
heating element is in between
the leather covering and foam
core to help provide maximum
heat without adversely affecting
the feel of the steering wheel.
Note:
This feature only
functions when you switch the
engine on.
Note: The heated steering wheel
may remain on after remote
starting the vehicle, based on
your remote start settings. The
heated steering wheel may also
turn on when you start your
vehicle, if it was on when you

conditioning compressor may
continue to operate even when
you switch the air conditioning
A/C button off.
Recirculated air:
Touch to
switch the recirculated air on or
off. When recirculated air is on,
it may reduce the amount of
time needed to cool down the
interior (when used with A/C)
and help reduce odors from
reaching the interior.
Note:
Recirculated air may turn
off automatically (or the system
may not allow Recirculated air
to turn on) in all airflow modes
except MAX A/C to reduce risk
of fogging. It may also turn on
and off automatically in Panel
or Panel/Floor airflow modes
during hot weather in order to
improve cooling efficiency. Manual airflow distribution

Map Mode
Map mode shows advanced viewing
comprised of 2D city maps, 3D landmarks
and 3D city models (when available). 2D
city maps show detailed outlines of
buildings, visible land use, landscape
features, and detailed railroad
infrastructure for the most essential cities
around the globe.
3D landmarks appear as clear, visible
objects that are typically recognizable and
have a certain tourism value.
3D city models are complete 3D models
of entire city areas including navigable
roads, parks, rivers and rendered buildings.
3D landmarks and city models appear in
3D map mode only. Coverage of these
varies and improves with updated map
releases.
Select the zoom in icon to see a
closer view of the map.
Select the zoom out icon to see
a farther away view of the map.
You can adjust the view in preset
increments. You can also pinch to zoom in
or out of the map.
The information bar tells you the names
of streets, cities or landmarks as you hover
over them with the crosshair curser.
You can change your view of the map by
tapping on the location indicator icon on
the right hand side of the screen. You can
choose from the following options: Heading up (2D map) This
always shows the direction of
forward travel to be upward on
the screen. This view is available
for map scales up to
3 mi (5 km). North up (2D map)
always
shows the northern direction to
be upward on the screen. 3D map mode
provides an
elevated perspective of the map.
Adjust this viewing angle and
rotate the map 180 degrees by
touching the map twice, and
then dragging your finger along the shaded
bar with arrows at the bottom of the map. Re-center the map by pressing
this icon whenever you scroll the
map away from your vehicle

clutter. When you select the box on the
map, a pop-up appears indicating how
many POIs are in this location. Select the
pop up to see a list of the available POIs.
You can scroll through and select POIs
