When the retractable panoramic roof is open,
it will automatically move to a position less

the glass will automatically move to the
defined position.
You can override automatic movement by
touching the moonroof open or close control.
The feature will remain overridden until you

The sunscreen must be open before opening
the moonroof. If you press the control while
the sunscreen is in its closed position, the
sunscreen will open first followed by the
moonroof. If both the sunscreen and

Press the button to switch between outside air and recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air
currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the\
time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C
and may reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
E
Note:
Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turnin\
g on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce
the risk of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow modes during hot weather
in order to improve cooling efficiency.
A/C:
Press the button to turn air conditioning compressor on or off. Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling
performance and efficiency.

perature using the temperature control. The system
adjusts fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and sel\

HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS
Heated Rear Window
Note: You must switch the ignition on to use
this feature. Press the button to clear the rear
window of thin ice and fog. Press
the button again within 10 minutes
to switch it off. It switches off automatically
after 10 minutes, or when you switch the

objects to clean the inside of the rear
window or to remove decals from the inside
of the rear window. This may cause damage
to the heated grid lines, which your
warranty does not cover.
Heated Exterior Mirror
Note:
Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or attempt to readjust the
mirror glass if it has frozen in place. These
actions could cause damage to the glass
and mirrors.
Note: Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.
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 478).
For additional cabin air filter information, or
to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer.

The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space
A parked vehicle has a high attachment (for example, a salt sprayer, snowplow, or a moving truck bed).
The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after your vehicle passed.
The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (for instance, driving from a heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car was\
h).
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 your vehicle. WARNINGS
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 reverse (R).
Make sure your vehicle is not moving. The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your vehicle.
The image will display in either the rear view
mirror or the display in the center of the
instrument panel.During operation, lines will appear in the
display that represent your vehicle
’s path
and proximity to objects behind your vehicle. The camera is located on the trunk near the
high-mount brake lamp.

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 you change the steering
wheel position while reversing, your vehicle
might deviate from the original intended
path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on your steering wheel
position. When your steering wheel position
is straight, the active guidelines are not
visible.
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 your
vehicle. Enhanced Park Aids
Note:
Enhanced park aids are only available
when the transmission is in reverse (R).
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 that appear on top of the video
image when the reverse sensing system
detects an object. The alert highlights the
closest object detected. You can disable the
reverse sensing alert if you have enhanced
park aids enabled, you will still see the
displayed highlighted areas.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF.
Manual Zoom WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full area
behind your vehicle is not shown. Be
aware of your surroundings when using the
manual zoom feature. 201

The current assessment of your alertness is
within a typical range.
The current assessment of your alertness
indicates that you should rest as soon as
safely possible.
The status bar will travel from left to right as
the calculated alertness level decreases. As
the rest icon is approached the color turns
from green to yellow to red. The yellow
position indicates the first warning is active
and the red position indicates the second
warning is active.
Note:
If you have recently received a
warning; you should consider resting, even
if the current assessment is with the typical
range. Note:
If the camera sensor cannot track the
road lane markings or if your vehicle speed
drops below approximately 40 mph (64
km/h), the alertness level will change to grey
for a short time and the information display
will inform you that the system is unavailable.
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver’ s door.

attention and judgment. You are still
responsible to drive with due care and
attention. Note:
The system works above 40 mph (64
km/h). Note:
The system works as long as the
camera can detect one lane marking.
Note: The system may not function if the
camera is blocked or there is damage to the
windshield.
Note: When Aid mode is on and the system
detects no steering activity for a short period,
the system will alert you to put your hands
