used: ∙ Vehicles with an automatic climate con-
trol system will default to either heating
or cooling mode. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Remote Engine Start with
Intelligent Climate Control” in the “Moni-
tor, climate, audio, phone and voice rec-
ognition systems” section of this manual.
Laws in some local communities may restrict
the use of remote starters. For example,
some laws require a person using Remote

OPERATING RANGE
WARNING
To help avoid risk of injury or death through
unintended operation of the vehicle and/or
its systems, including entrapment in win-
dows or inadvertent door lock activation,
do not leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.
CAUTION
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave sources
are present near the operating location, the
Intelligent Key operating range becomes
narrower, and the Intelligent Key may not
function properly.
The Remote Engine Start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
The Remote Engine Start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.

REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
RearView Monitor. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death. ∙ The system cannot completely eliminate
blind spots and may not show every
object.
∙ Underneath the bumper and the corner areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not show small objects below the
bumper, and may not show objects close
to the bumper or on the ground.
∙ Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used.
∙ Objects in the RearView Monitor will ap- pear visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rearview and outside
mirrors.
∙ Use the displayed lines as a reference. The lines are highly affected by the num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehicle posi-
tion, road conditions and road grade.
∙ Make sure that the liftgate is securely closed when backing up.
∙ Do not put anything on the rearview camera. The rearview camera is installed
above the license plate.

cordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ Do not use the MOD system when tow- ing a trailer. The system may not function
properly.
∙ Excessive noise (for example, audio sys- tem volume or open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
∙ The MOD system performance will be limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as:
– When there is low contrast between background and the moving objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light. – When strong light such as another ve-
hicle’s headlight or sunlight is present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when a mirror is
folded.

∙ The MOD system might detect flowing water droplets on the camera lens, white
smoke from the muffler, moving shad-
ows, etc.
∙ The MOD system may not function prop- erly depending on the speed, direction,
distance or shape of the moving objects.
∙ If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts where the camera is installed, leav-
ing it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered and the MOD system may
not detect objects properly.
∙ When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
