tion during cooling operation in
extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temper-
ature of the outside air and the

bility. If this occurs, set the
mode selection to the posi-
tion and fan speed control to
the lower speed.

The sensor may be limited when:
The front view camera or front
radar sensor is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
The front view camera lens is con-
taminated due to tinted, filmed or
coated windshield, damaged
glass, or stuck of foreign matter
(sticker, bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the front radar sensor or
front view camera
There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection
from the front view camera sensor
The front view camera/front radar
sensor recognition is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the front view cam-
era recognition function (for exam-
ple a tractor trailer, etc.) The front view camera’s field of
view is not well illuminated (either
too dark or too much reflection or
too much backlight that obscures
the field of view)
The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear

obstructed by sun glare
The vehicle in front is driving errat-
ically
The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a

ing, such as a basement parking
lot

The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.

Maintenance
Fabric seat cover using precau-
tions (If equipped)
Please clean the fabric seats regu-
larly with a vacuum cleaner in con-
sideration of fabric material charac-
teristics. If they are heavily soiled
with beverage stains, etc., use a suit-
able interior cleaner. To prevent dam-
age to seat covers, wipe off the seat
covers down to the seams with a
large wiping motion and moderate
pressure using a soft sponge or
microfiber cloth.
Velcro closures on clothing or sharp
objects may cause snagging or
scratches on the surface of the
seats. Make sure not to rub such
objects against the surface.
Cleaning the upholstery and inte-
rior trim
Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from
vinyl with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean vinyl surfaces with a
vinyl cleaner.
Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fab-
ric with a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. Clean with a mild soap solu-
tion recommended for upholstery or
carpets. Remove fresh spots imme-
diately with a fabric spot cleaner. If
fresh spots do not receive immediate
attention, the fabric can be stained
and its color can be affected. Also, its
fire-resistant properties can be
reduced if the material is not proper-
ly maintained.
Using anything but recommended
cleaners and procedures may affect
the fabric’s appearance and fire-
resistant properties.
Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt
webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild
soap solution recommended for
cleaning upholstery or carpet. Follow
the instructions provided with the
soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the
webbing because this may weaken it.
Cleaning the interior window
glass
If the interior glass surfaces of the
vehicle become fogged (that is, cov-
ered with an oily, greasy or waxy
film), they should be cleaned with a
glass cleaner. Follow the directions
on the glass cleaner container.
CAUTION- Rear window
Do not scrape or scratch the
inside of the rear window. This
may result in damage of the rear
window defroster grid.
