Both heated mirrors remove ice, mist
and fog when you switch on the
heated rear window.
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
The climate control system adjusts
the cabin temperature during remote
start.
You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation. Turn the
ignition on to return the system to its
previous settings. You can now make
adjustments. You need to turn certain
vehicle-dependent features back on,
such as:
•
heated seats
• cooled seats
• heated steering wheel
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls.
See
Information Displays (page 100).
Automatic Settings
You can set the climate control to
operate in AUTO mode through the
information display setting: Remote
Start > Climate Control > Heater-A/C
> Auto. The climate control system
automatically sets the interior
temperature to 72°F (22°C).
In hot weather, the system is set to
72°F (22°C). Cooled seats are set to
high (if available, and selected to
AUTO in the information display).
In moderate weather, the system
either heats or cools (based on
previous settings). The rear defroster,
heated mirrors and heated/cooled
seats do not automatically turn on.

Last Settings
You can set the climate control to
operate using the last climate control
settings through the information
display setting: Remote Start >
Climate Control > Heater
–A/C > Last
Settings. The climate control system
automatically uses the settings last
selected before turning off the vehicle.
Heated and Cooled Devices
The climate control system controls
other heated and cooled devices
inside the vehicle. These devices (if
available and selected to AUTO in the
information displays) may switch on
during remote start. Heated devices
typically switch on during cold
weather, and cooled devices during
hot weather.

Once your vehicle has started, it
remains running until you press the
start button, even if it does not detect
a valid key. If you open and close a
door while your vehicle is running, the
system searches for a valid key. You
cannot start your vehicle if it does not
detect a valid key within 20 seconds.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle is equipped with a
feature that automatically shuts down
the engine if it has been idling for an
extended period of time. The ignition
also turns off in order to save battery
power. Before the engine shuts down,
a message appears in the information
display showing a timer counting
down from 30 seconds. If you do not
intervene within 30 seconds, the
engine shuts down. Another message
appears in the information display to
inform you that the engine has shut
down in order to save fuel. Start your
vehicle as you normally do.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Override
Note:
You cannot permanently switch
off the automatic engine shutdown
feature. When it is temporarily
switched off, it turns on at the next
ignition cycle.
The engine shutdown can be stopped,
or the timer reset, at any point before
the 30 second countdown has expired
by doing any of the following: • • You can reset the timer by
interacting with your vehicle (such
as pressing the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal).
• • You can temporarily switch off the shutdown feature any time the
ignition is on (for the current
ignition cycle only). Use the
information display to do so. See
Information Displays (page 100).
• • During the countdown before engine shutdown, you are
prompted to press OK or RESET
(depending on your type of
information display) to temporarily
switch the feature off (for the
current ignition cycle only).
STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
After you start the engine, the idle
speed increases to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does
not slow down automatically, have
your vehicle checked by your
authorized dealer.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants have
fastened their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Put the transmission in position P.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator
pedal.

Always set the parking brake
fully and make sure the vehicle
is in P (Park). Turn the ignition off
whenever you leave your vehicle. Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than three
seconds will limit engine rpm, which
may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to
serious injury. Push Button Shift

achieved by pressing the
S (Sport)
button. The system will stay in manual
control until the vehicle is put in
another gear.
• Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
• Pull the left paddle (

some shifts for you in the event that
your engine speed is running at too
high, or to low an RPM. Note:
Engine damage may occur if
excessive engine revving is held without
shifting.
Brake-Shift Interlock Override WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until
you verify that the brake lamps
are working. When doing this procedure, you
will be taking the vehicle out of
park which means the vehicle can roll
