repeat step 3.
To resume normal operation, press the right
button momentarily while the rear camera screen
is out or wait 30 seconds for screen to slide
back into the mirror.
For more information on the automatic dimming,
compass, and temperature features of the mirror,
seeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with
Compass and Temperature Display on page 139.
{CAUTION:
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
system does not replace driver vision.
RVC does not:
Detect objects that are outside the
camera’s eld of view, below the
bumper, or underneath the vehicle.
Detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or pets.
Do not back the vehicle by only looking at
the rear vision camera screen, or use the
screen during longer, higher speed
backing maneuvers or where there could
be cross-traffic. Your judged distances
using the screen will differ from actual
distances.
So if you do not use proper care before
backing up, you could hit a vehicle, child,
pedestrian, bicyclist, or pet, resulting in
vehicle damage, injury, or death. Even
though the vehicle has the RVC system,
always check carefully before backing up
by checking behind your vehicle.
193

Area Displayed On Screen
The image is provided by the camera located on
the rear bumper.The camera uses a special lens. The distance of
the image that appears on the screen differs
from the actual distance. The area displayed by
the camera is limited. The camera does not display
objects which are close to either corner of the
bumper or under the bumper. The spare tire and
carrier extends rearward of the rear bumper.
The area displayed on the screen may vary
according to vehicle orientation or road conditions.
Notice:The spare tire extends farther away
from rear of the vehicle than the trailer
hitch shown on rear vision camera display.
Your spare tire could hit an object even though
there appears to be enough distance on the
display between the trailer hitch and objects
behind you causing vehicle or property
damage. Do not use this system to judge the
distance between the spare tire and objects
behind you.
The following illustration shows the eld of view
that the camera provides.
194

When the System Does Not Seem To
Work Properly
The rear vision camera system may not work
properly or display a clear image in the following
situations:
In the dark.
When the sun or the beam of headlights is
shining directly into the camera lens.
If ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds up
on the camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse it
with water, and wipe it with a soft cloth.
If the back of the vehicle is in an accident, the
position and mounting angle of the camera
may change or the camera may be affected.
Be sure to have the camera and its position
and mounting angle checked at your dealer.
Extreme high or low temperatures or extreme
temperature changes can affect the image
displayed.
195

the temperature of the air coming through the
system on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The

always ow through the system as the vehicle
is moving forward unless it is set to recirculation
mode. See “Recirculation” later in this section.

Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When automatic operation is
active the system will control the inside
temperature, the air delivery, and the fan speed.
Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the display will
change to show the current driver’s set
temperature, delivery mode and fan speed.
Press the AUTO button again within
ve seconds to display the passenger’s set
temperature.
If the driver and passenger’s temperature
settings are not the same, the opposite side
temperature setting will be displayed for
an additional ve seconds. To make the
passenger’s temperature the same as
the driver’s press and hold the AUTO button
for about four seconds.
When auto is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet will be automatically
controlled. The air conditioning compressor will
run when the outside temperature is over about
40°F (4°C). The air inlet will normally be set to
outside air. If it’s hot outside, the air inlet mayautomatically switch to recirculate inside air to
help quickly cool down your vehicle. The light
on the button will illuminate in recirculation.
2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a 74°F
(23°C) temperature setting and allow about
20 minutes for the system to regulate. Turn the
driver’s or passenger’s side temperature knob
to adjust the temperature setting as necessary.
If you choose the temperature setting of 60°F
(15°C) the system will remain at the maximum
cooling setting. If you choose the temperature
setting of 90°F (32°C) the system will remain at
the maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the vehicle to
heat or cool any faster.
Be careful not to cover the sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor regulates air
temperature based on sun load, and also
turns on your headlamps.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the
system will delay turning on the fan until
warm air is available. The length of delay
depends on the engine coolant temperature.
Pressing the fan switch will override this delay
and change the fan to a selected speed.
