audio INFINITI G-CONVERTIBLE 2011 Owners Manual

When an object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks (the tone sounds
intermittently). When the vehicle moves closer
to the object, the color of the indicator turns
yellow and the rate of blinking increases (the
rate of the tone increases). When the corner of
the vehicle is very close to the object, less than
11.8 in (30 cm) away, the indicator stops blink-
ing and turns red (the tone sounds continu-
ously).
When the rear view monitor is displayed, the
colors of the sonar indicator and the distance
guide lines in the rear view indicate different
distances to the object.
The sonar indicator can be turned off in the
SONAR setting display. (See “HOW TO USE
SETTING BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, climate,
audio, phone and voice recognition systems”
section for the “Sonar” settings.) When the
sonar indicator is off, only a tone sounds when
the sonar detects obstacles.
SONAR SYSTEM OFF SWITCH
The sonar system OFF switch on the instrument
panel allows the driver to turn the sonar system
on and off. To turn the sonar system on and off,
the ignition switch must be in the “ON” posi-
tion. The indicator light
1on the switch will
illuminate when the system is turned off. If the
indicator light flashes when the sonar system is
not turned off, it may indicate a malfunction in
the sonar system.
WARNING
If the engine is not running or is turned off while
driving, the power assist for the steering will
not work. Steering will be harder to operate.
The power assisted steering uses a hydraulic
pump, driven by the engine, to assist steering.
If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks, you
will still have control of the vehicle. However,
much greater steering effort is needed, espe-
cially in sharp turns and at low speeds.
