Windshield washers 

In the OFF (O) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until you
release the lever. If the washer does
not work, you may need to add wash-
er fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.
If equipped with the Headlamp
Washer, washer fluid will be sprayed
on the headlamp at the same time you
operate the windshield washer when:
1. The Engine Start/Stop button is in

the ON position.

2. The light switch is in the headlamp

position.

• To prevent possible damage to

the washer pump, do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty.

• To prevent possible damage to

the wipers or windshield, do not
operate the wipers when the
windshield is dry.

• To prevent damage to the wiper

arms and other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.

• To prevent possible damage to

the wipers and washer system,
use anti-freezing washer fluids
in the winter season or cold
weather.

NOTICE

OHI046422L

When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm
the windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an acci-
dent and serious injury or death.

helps provide a view of the area
behind the vehicle through the A/V
display while the vehicle is in the R
(Reverse) position.

Do not use any cleanser contain-
ing acid or alkaline detergents
when cleaning the lens. Use only a
mild soap or neutral detergent,
and rinse thoroughly with water.

The rear camera display is not a
safety device. It only serves to
assist the driver in identifying
objects directly behind the mid-
dle of the vehicle. The camera
does NOT cover the complete
area behind the vehicle.

WARNING

• Never rely solely on the rear

camera display when backing-
up.

• ALWAYS look around your

vehicle to make sure there are
no objects or obstacles
before moving the vehicle in
any direction to prevent a col-
lision.

• Always pay close attention

when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.

Convenient features of your vehicle

Parking assist system 
(if equipped)

The Parking Assist System assists
the driver during movement of the
vehicle by chiming if any object is
sensed within approximately 100 cm
(40 in) in front and 120 cm (47 in)
behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem that senses objects within the
range and location of the sensors, it
cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed.

Front Sensors

Rear Sensors

• ALWAYS look around your

vehicle to make sure there are
not any objects or obstacles
before moving the vehicle in
any direction to prevent a col-
lision.

• Always pay close attention

when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.

• Be aware that some objects

may not be visible on the
screen or be detected by the
sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effec-
tiveness of the sensor.

WARNING

Operation of the Parking Assist
System

Operating condition

• This system will activate when the

Parking Assist System button is
pressed with the engine running.

• The Parking Assist System button

turns on automatically and acti-
vates the Parking Assist System
when you move the shift lever to
the R (Reverse) position. However,
if the vehicle speed exceeds 10
km/h (6 mph), the system will not
warn you even though objects are
detected, and if the vehicle speed
exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), the
system will turn off automatically.
To turn on the system, press the
Parking Assist System button.

• When more than two objects are

sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.

Non-operational conditions of
Parking Assist System

Parking Assist System may not
operate normally when:

• Moisture is frozen to the sensor.
• The sensor is covered with dirt or

debris such as snow or ice, or the
sensor cover is blocked.

• The  Parking Assist button is off.

There is a possibility of Parking
Assist System malfunction when:

• Driving on uneven road surfaces

such as unpaved roads, gravel,
bumps, or gradient.

• Objects generating excessive noise

such as vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes
can interfere with the sensor.

• Heavy rain or water spray is present.
• Wireless transmitters or mobile

phones are present near the sensor.

• Any non-factory equipment or

accessories have been installed, or
if the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified.

• The  sensor is covered with dirt or

debris such as snow or ice.

Detecting range may decrease when:

• Outside air temperature is extremely

hot or cold.

• Undetectable objects smaller than

1 m and narrower than 14 cm in
diameter.

The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:

• Sharp or slim objects such as

ropes, chains or small poles.

• Objects, which tend to absorb sen-

sor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.

Parking assist system precau-
tions

• The parking assist system may not

operate consistently in some cir-
cumstances depending on the
speed of the vehicle and the
shapes of the objects detected.

• The parking assist system may mal-

function if the vehicle bumper height
or sensor installation has been
modified or damaged. Any non-fac-
tory installed equipment or acces-
sories may also interfere with the
sensor performance.

• The sensor may not recognize

objects less than 40 cm (15 in)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.

• When the sensor is blocked with

snow, dirt, debris, or ice, the park-
ing assist system may be inopera-
tive until the snow or ice melts, or
the debris is removed. Use a soft
cloth to wipe debris away from the
sensor.

• Do not push, scratch or strike the

sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the surface of the
sensor. Sensor damage could occur.

• Do not spray the sensors or its sur-

rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Doing so may
cause the sensors to fail to operate
normally.

Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to a
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.

Rear outlet vents (F)
The rear outlet vents are controlled by the rear climate control system.
However, external conditions and manual settings also have influences on the
actual operation of the rear outlet vents by blocking air flows or changing air
flow volumes.
The rear outlet vents may blow slightly cooler air when the heater is operat-
ing due to some heat loss through the air ducts from the front of the vehicle.
To prevent this, the rear outlet vents may not blow any air immediately after a
cold start when the outside temperature is detected to be extremely low in
winter and the engine has not sufficiently warmed up.

Front mode selection button
The mode selection button controls
the direction of the air flow through
the ventilation system.

The air flow outlet port is converted
as follows:

Information 

The passenger’s side cannot select the

Air flow is directed toward the upper
body and face. Additionally, each
outlet can be controlled to direct the
air discharged from the outlet.

Bi-Level (B, C, D, E, F, G)

Air flow is directed towards the face
and the floor.

Floor & Defrost (A, C, E, D)
