Recirculated air: Press the button to switch between outside air andrecirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in thepassenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to coolthe interior (when used with A/C) and may reduce unwanted odors fromentering your vehicle.
G
Note: Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turningon) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculatedair may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflowmodes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
A/C: Press the button to turn air conditioning compressor on or off. Use airconditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.H
Note: In certain conditions (such as when using Max Defrost), the airconditioning compressor may continue to operate even after you switch off theair conditioning with the A/C button.
MAX A/C: Press the button to maximize cooling. Recirculated air flows throughthe instrument panel vents, air conditioning automatically turns on, and the fanautomatically adjusts to the highest speed.

The particulate filtration system gives youand your passengers the followingbenefits:
•It improves your driving comfort byreducing particle concentration.
•It improves the interior compartmentcleanliness.
•It protects the climate controlcomponents from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. SeeScheduled Maintenance (page 428).
For additional cabin air filter information,or to replace the filter, see an authorizeddealer.

The current assessment of your alertnessindicates that you should rest as soon assafely possible.
The status bar will travel from left to rightas the calculated alertness leveldecreases. As the rest icon is approachedthe color turns from green to yellow to red.
The yellow position indicates the firstwarning is active and the red positionindicates the second warning is active.
Note:If you have recently received awarning; you should consider resting, evenif the current assessment is within thetypical range.
Note:If the camera sensor cannot track theroad lane markings or if your vehicle speeddrops below approximately 40 mph (64km/h), the alertness level will change togrey for a short time and the informationdisplay will inform you that the system isunavailable.
Resetting the System

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Blind Spot Information System(BLIS®) with Cross Traffic Alert (If
Equipped)
WARNING
To help avoid injuries, NEVER use theBlind Spot Information System as areplacement for using the interiorand exterior mirrors and looking over yourshoulder before changing lanes. The BlindSpot Information System is not areplacement for careful driving.
The Blind Spot Information System aidsyou in detecting vehicles that may haveentered the blind spot zone (A). Thedetection area is on both sides of yourvehicle, extending rearward from theexterior mirrors to approximately 10 ft(3 m)beyond the bumper. The systemalerts you if certain vehicles enter the blindspot zone while driving.
Cross Traffic Alert warns you of vehiclesapproaching from the sides when thetransmission is in reverse (R).
Note:The Blind Spot Information Systemdoes not prevent contact with other vehiclesor objects; nor detect parked vehicles,people, animals or infrastructure (fences,guardrails, trees, etc.). It only alerts you tovehicles in the blind zones.
Note:When a vehicle passes quicklythrough the blind zone, typically fewer thantwo seconds, the system does not trigger.
Using the Systems
The Blind Spot Information System turnson when you start the engine and you driveyou vehicle forward above 5 mph(8 km/h); it remains on while thetransmission is in drive (D) or neutral (N).If shifted out of drive (D) or neutral (N),the system enters cross traffic alert mode.Once shifted back into drive (D), the BlindSpot Information System turns back onwhen you drive your vehicle above 5 mph(8 km/h).
Note:The Blind Spot Information Systemdoes not function in reverse (R) or park (P)or provide any additional warning when aturn signal is on.
Note:Cross Traffic Alert detectsapproaching vehicles from up to 46 ft(14 m) away though coverage decreaseswhen the sensors are blocked. Reversingslowly helps increase the coverage area andeffectiveness.
Note:For manual transmission vehicles,the cross traffic alert will be active only ifthe transmission is in reverse (R). If yourvehicle is rolling backwards and thetransmission is not in reverse (R) then CrossTraffic Alert will not be active.
