HEAD UP DISPLAY

 (IF EQUIPPED)

This is a visual system that shows information
in your field of view as you drive. The
information comes from various vehicle
systems and includes vehicle speed, speed
limit, navigation, and advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS), such as adaptive
cruise control (ACC) and the lane keeping
system. This system projects the information
off the windshield, and focuses the image

near the end of the hood approximately 7 ft
(2 m) in front of the driver. Viewing this
information does not require you to
significantly move your head, allowing you
to keep your eyes on the road while having
quick and easy access to information.

Configuring The Head Up Display

You can control the system's options through
the information display by using the 4-way
toggle on the right-hand side of your steering
wheel.  See General Information (page 127).
You can adjust the display according to your
height to make viewing the content easier.
You can also adjust what content displays
and the brightness of the content. The
system's options appear in the instrument
cluster while the updates happen in the HUD.

Note: If HUD On is unchecked, other options
of the system are hidden.

Note: The HUD menu automatically closes
after a certain period of inactivity.

Note: The HUD image brightness
automatically adjusts to the brightness of
the ambient environment. You have the
ability to adjust the brightness further
according to your preference.

Note: In some instances, sunlight can cause
some reflections in and around the HUD
image.

Maintaining Your Head Up Display

•

Do not place objects onto the transparent
cover, as they may block you from seeing
portions of the image. These objects
could also damage the cover and affect
the quality of the projected image.

•

The system uses a special windshield
designed to provide the optimum image
quality. You must replace the windshield
in a vehicle with this system with a
certified original equipment
manufactured (OEM) head up display
windshield. Replacing this system's
windshield with a non-head up display
windshield causes a double image or
distorted image. Have an authorized
dealer or authorized repair facility replace
the windshield.

•

Light conditions such as oncoming
headlamps, sunrise, sunset or reflections
off road surfaces can affect the driver's
ability to see the HUD image.

•

Clean the windshield often for optimal
HUD performance.  See Cleaning the
Windows and Wiper Blades (page 374).

Climate Control

Switching Maximum Air Conditioning
On and Off

Press and release the button for
maximum cooling.

The driver and passenger temperatures are
set to LO, recirculated air flows through the
instrument panel air vents, air conditioning
turns on and the blower motor adjusts to the
highest speed.

Switching Maximum Defrost On and
Off

Press and release the button for
maximum defrosting.

The driver and passenger temperatures are
set to HI, air flows through the windshield air
vents, and the blower motor adjusts to the
highest speed.

Note: Depending on your region, air
conditioning turns on.

You can also use this setting to defog and
clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.

Note: To prevent window fogging, you
cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.

Note: The heated rear window also turns on
when you select maximum defrost.

Switching Recirculated Air On and Off

Press and release the button to
switch between outside air and
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 reduce unwanted odors
from entering your vehicle.

Note: Recirculated air may turn off, or
prevent you from switching on, in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency.

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.

Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.

Climate Control

Automatic Climate Control

Note: Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not
necessary. Automatic mode is best
recommended to maintain set temperature.

Note: The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select as
quickly as possible.

Note: For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.

Note: If you select AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs air flow to
the windshield and side window air vents. In
addition, the blower motor may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.

Note: If you select AUTO during hot
temperatures and the inside of the vehicle
is hot, the system uses recirculated air to
maximize interior cooling. Blower motor
speed may also reduce until the air cools.

ABOUT THE CABIN AIR FILTER

Your vehicle has a cabin air filter, which 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.

LOCATING THE CABIN AIR FILTER

You can locate the cabin air filter behind the
glove box.

CHANGING THE CABIN AIR FILTER

Replace the filter at regular intervals.  See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 512).

Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.

Note: Using an aftermarket cabin air filter
could reduce cabin air filtration and climate
control performance.

Interior Air Quality

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

WARNING: Sitting improperly, out of

position or with the seatback reclined too
far can take weight off the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger
sensing system, resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat back, with your
feet on the floor.

WARNING: Do not recline the

seatback too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in serious injury in the event of a
collision.

WARNING: Do not place objects

higher than the top of the seat backrest.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury or death in the event of
a sudden stop or crash.

E68595

When you use them properly, the seat, head
restraint, seatbelt and airbags will provide
optimum protection in the event of a crash.

We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•

Sit in an upright position with the base of
your spine as far back as possible.

•

Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30° from the
upright position.

•

Adjust the head restraint so that the top
of it is level with the top of your head and
as far forward as possible. Make sure that
you remain comfortable.

•

Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 in (25 cm)
between your breastbone and the airbag
cover.

•

Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

•

Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.

•

Position the shoulder strap of the seatbelt
over the center of your shoulder and
position the lap strap tightly across your
hips.

Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING: Fully adjust the head

restraint before you sit in or operate your
vehicle. This will help minimize the risk of
neck injury in the event of a crash. Do not
adjust the head restraint when your vehicle
is moving.

WARNING: The head restraint is a

safety device. Whenever possible it should
be installed and properly adjusted when
the seat is occupied. Failure to adjust the
head restraint properly could reduce its
effectiveness during certain impacts.

Note: Adjust the seat backrest to an upright
driving position before adjusting the head
restraint. Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of your head
and as far forward as possible. Make sure
that you remain comfortable. If you are
extremely tall, adjust the head restraint to
its highest position.
