For more information, refer to the “Viewing technical information (section 7)” of your navigation System Owner’s Manual.
Forest Air® System (if so equipped)

this system helps keep the air inside your vehicle
clean using an automatic air intake and ventilation
system that monitors air quality with outside and
inside sensors.

Automatic humidity control prevents over-drying of
the passenger compartment and fogging of the
windshield. when the system is On, the defroster
may automatically turn on.
For more information, refer to the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems (section 4)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot Intervention™ (BSI) (if so equipped)

the Blind Spot warning (BSw) system alerts the
driver when another vehicle moves into the vehicle’s
blind spot area.

An indicator light
01 near the driver’s outside mirror

will illuminate if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in
the detection zone.

the Blind Spot Intervention™ (BSI) system can assist
the driver in returning the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane by applying individual brake pressure
to the left or right wheels for a short period of time.

the indicator light
02 will first illuminate in orange and
then turn green before turning off. this indicates that
the Blind Spot warning (BSw) and Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) systems are operational.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
01
02
Automatic Anti-glare Mirrors
the inside rearview mirror and both outside mirrors are designed to automatically change
reflection according to the intensity of the headlights of the vehicle following you.

the anti-glare system will be automatically turned on when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
For more information, refer to the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A CHECk tIRE PRESSURE warning message will
appear in the dot matrix liquid crystal display

01
and the low tire pressure warning light
02 will

illuminate when one or more tires are low on
pressure and air is needed.
• The tire pressures should be checked when the
tires are cold. the tires are considered cold after
the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6km) at moderate speeds.

After tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle
at speeds above 16 MpH (25km/h). the CHECk tIRE
PRESSURE warning message and low tire pressure
warning light will disappear.

when the low tire pressure warning light flashes
for 1 minute and then remains on, the tpMS is not
functioning properly. Have the system checked by
an InFInItI retailer.

tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and the
outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the
tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. this may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates in low ambient temperature, check
the tire pressure in your tires.
• Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior to long distance trips.

the tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. please refer to section 9,
“technical and consumer information”, in your Owner’s Manual for the location of the tire and
Loading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
