HINTS ON CONTROLLING
THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated
air may cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of
air from the footwell air vents
regardless of the air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up
inside your vehicle, do not drive with
the system switched off or with
recirculated air always switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the
front seats as this may interfere with
the airflow to the rear seats. Note:
Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Do not adjust the settings when
your vehicle interior is extremely hot or
cold. The system automatically adjusts
to the previously stored settings. For
the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: At low ambient temperatures
with AUTO selected, the system directs
air toward the windshield and side
windows for as long as the engine
remains cold.
Note: When you switch the system off,
outside air cannot enter your vehicle.

CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin
air filter. It is located behind the glove
box.
The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and
pollen in the air supplied to the interior
of your vehicle.
Note:
To prevent foreign objects from
entering the system, make sure the
cabin air is in place at all times.
Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or
damage to the system.
The particulate filtration system gives
you and your passengers the following
benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior
compartment cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle
deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page
440).
For additional cabin air filter
information, or to replace the filter,
see an authorized dealer. REMOTE START

REAR VIEW CAMERA (IF
EQUIPPED) WARNINGS
The rear view camera system is
a reverse aid supplement device
that still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and
exterior mirrors for maximum
coverage. Objects that are close to either
corner of the bumper or under
the bumper, might not be seen on the
screen due to the limited coverage of
the camera system. Back up as slow as possible
since higher speeds might limit
your reaction time to stop the vehicle. Use caution when using the rear
video camera and the trunk is
ajar. If the trunk is ajar, the camera will
be out of position and the video image
may be incorrect. All guidelines (if
enabled) have been removed when
the trunk is ajar. Use caution when turning
camera features on or off while
in R (Reverse). Make sure the vehicle
is not moving. The rear view camera system provides
a video image of the area behind the
vehicle. The image will be displayed
in either in the rear view mirror or the
display in the center of the instrument
panel. During operation, lines appear in the
display which represent your vehicle
’s
path and proximity to objects behind
the vehicle. The camera is located on the trunk
near the CHMSL.
Using the Rear View Camera
System
The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you
place the transmission in R (Reverse).
The system uses three types of guides
to help you see what is behind your
vehicle:
•
Active guidelines: Show the
intended path of your vehicle when
reversing.
• Fixed guidelines: Show the actual
path your vehicle is moving in while
reversing in a straight line. This can
be helpful when backing into a
parking space or aligning your
vehicle with another object behind
you.
• Centerline (If applicable): Helps
align the center of your vehicle
with an object (i.e. a trailer).

Active guidelines are only shown with
fixed guidelines. To use active
guidelines, turn the steering wheel to
point the guidelines toward an
intended path. If the steering wheel
position is changed while reversing,
the vehicle might deviate from the
original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade
in and out depending on the steering
wheel position. The active guidelines
are not shown when the steering
wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to
your vehicle and objects in the green
zone are farther away. Objects are
getting closer to your vehicle as they
move from the green zone to the
yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get
better coverage on both sides and rear
of the vehicle.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ACTIVE + FIXED, FIXED and OFF.
Visual Park Aid Alert
Note:
Visual park alert is only available
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: The reverse sensing system is
not effective at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h) and may not detect certain
angular or moving objects. The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights which appear on top of the
video image when an object is
detected by the reverse sensing
system. The alert highlights the
closest object detected. The reverse
sensing alert can be disabled and if
visual park aid alert is enabled,
highlighted areas are still displayed.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ON and OFF.
Manual Zoom
WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the
full area behind the vehicle is not
shown. Be aware of your surroundings
when using the manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: When manual zoom is enabled,
only the centerline is shown.
This allows you to get a closer view of
an object behind the vehicle. The
zoomed image keeps the bumper in
the image to provide a reference. The
zoom is only active while the
transmission is in R (Reverse). When
the transmission is shifted out of R
(Reverse), the feature automatically
turns off and must be reset when it is
used again.

These systems have a range of modes
which you can choose from in order
to customize your ideal driving
experience:
•
Comfort – Provides a more relaxed
driving experience. Steering effort
is decreased, suspension
movement is more fluid. Comfort
mode is ideal when enhanced
traveling comfort is desired.
• Normal – Delivers a balanced
combination of comfortable,
controlled ride and confident
handling and powerful yet quiet
powertrain sound. This mode
provides an engaging drive
experience and a direct connection
to the road without sacrificing any
of the composure demanded from
a luxury vehicle. Unwanted noises
from the powertrain are cancelled
while desired sounds are shaped
to deliver a smooth powerful note.
This setting is ideal for everyday
use and daily driving.
• Sport – Provides a sportier driving
experience. Suspension stiffens,
with an emphasis on handling and
control. The engine responds more
directly to your inputs and takes
on a more powerful tone. Sport
mode is intended to be used during
more spirited driving.
You can configure which of the
Adaptive Drive modes is active when
the vehicle is in D (Drive) or in S
(Sport). The configuration is retained
until modified from the main menu on
the information display. See General
Information (page 100). LANE KEEPING SYSTEM WARNING
The system is designed to aid the
driver. It is not intended to
replace the driver ’s attention and
judgment. The driver is still
responsible to drive with due care and
attention. Note:
The system needs to be
activated by the driver at each key
cycle.
Note: The system works above 40
mph (64 km/h).
Note: The system works as long as one
lane marking can be detected by the
camera.
Note: If the camera is blocked or if the
windshield is damaged, the system
may not function.
Note: When Aid mode is on and the
system detects no driver steering
activity for a short continuous period
of time, the system alerts the driver to
put their hands on the steering wheel.
The system may detect a light
grip/touch on the steering wheel as
hands off driving.
The system detects unintentional
drifting toward the outside of the lane
and alerts and/or aids the driver to
stay in the lane through the steering
system and instrument cluster display.
The system automatically detects and
tracks the road lane markings using a
camera that is mounted behind the
interior rear view mirror.

BLIND SPOT MONITOR
Blind Spot Information System
(BLIS®) with Cross Traffic
Alert (If Equipped) WARNING
To help avoid injuries, NEVER use
the BLIS as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors
and looking over your shoulder before
changing lanes. BLIS is not a
replacement for careful driving and
only an assist. BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles
that may have entered the blind spot
zone (A). The detection area is on
both sides of the vehicle, extending
rearward from the exterior mirrors to
approximately 10 feet (3 meters)
beyond the bumper. The system alerts
you if certain vehicles enter the blind
spot zone while driving.
Cross traffic alert warns you of
vehicles approaching from the sides
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note:
BLIS is not designed to prevent
contact with other vehicles or objects;
or to detect parked vehicles, people,
animals or infrastructure (fences,
guardrails, trees, etc.). It is designed to
alert the driver to vehicles in the blind
zones.
Note: When a vehicle passes quickly
through the blind zone, typically fewer
than two seconds, the system does not
trigger.
