INFINITI QX30 2017 Owner's Manual

•The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with objects sur-
rounding the vehicle. When maneuvering,
always use the outside mirror and rearview
mirror and turn and check the surroundings
to ensure it is safe to maneuver.
•The system is deactivated at speeds above 5
MPH (8 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
•The MOD system is not designed to detect
the surrounding stationary objects.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of moving objects surrounding
the vehicle when driving out of garages, maneu-
vering into parking lots and in other such
instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the im-
age shown on the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will activate automatically
under the following conditions:
•When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
•When the <CAMERA> button is pressed to
switch from a different screen to the camera
view on the display.
•When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 5 MPH (8 km/h).
•When the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position and then back to the ON position.
NOTE
•The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD icon
is not displayed on the screen when in this
view.
•While the parking sensor warning tone is
sounding, the MOD system does not chime. The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is displayed:
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is approximately
5 MPH (8 km/h ) or less, the MOD system
detects moving objects in the camera view. The
MOD system will not operate if the lift gate is
open.
When the MOD system detects moving objects
near the vehicle, a chime will be heard and a
yellow frame
1will be displayed on the moni-
tor.
While the MOD system continues to detect
moving objects, the yellow frame continues to
be displayed.
The yellow frame
1is displayed on each view
in the rear view modes.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle in accor-
dance with these system limitations could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
•Do not use the MOD system when towing a
trailer (if available). The system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume or open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The MOD system performance will be lim-
ited according to environmental conditions
and surrounding objects such as:– When there is low contrast between
background and the moving objects.
– When there is blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehi-
cle’s headlight or sunlight is present.
– When camera orientation is not in its
usual position, such as when mirror is
folded. –
When there is dirt, water drops or snow
on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects
in the display is not changed.
•The MOD system might detect something
like flowing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler, moving
shadows, etc.
•The MOD system may not function properly
depending on the speed, direction, distance
or shape of the moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts
where the camera is installed, leaving it
misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may
be altered and the MOD system may not
detect objects properly.
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
MOD MALFUNCTION
If the orange MOD icon is displayed in the view,
the system is not functioning properly. This will
not hinder normal driving operation, but the
system should be inspected. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the cameras. This will cause discolor-
ation. To clean the cameras, wipe with a
cloth dampened with diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.
•Do not damage the cameras as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of the
cameras
1, the MOD system may not operate
properly. Clean the cameras by wiping with a
cloth dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wiping with a dry cloth.

WARNING
•The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
•Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and in-
jure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.
•Do not adjust the heating and air condition-
ing controls while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate
even if the engine is turned off and the ignition
switch is in the ON position. NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up. To prevent the windows from misting
up
•Switch off climate control only briefly.
•Switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly.
•Switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting function
briefly, if required. The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control regulates the temperature and the hu-
midity of the vehicle interior and filters unde-
sirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control can only be operated when the engine is
running. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows closed.
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear. Otherwise the vehicle will
not be ventilated correctly.
NOTE
•Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather. This will speed up the cooling
process and the desired interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.
•The integrated filter filters out most particles
of dust and soot and completely filters out
pollen. With automatic climate control, gas-
eous pollutants and odors will also be re-
duced. A clogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this
reason, you should always observe the inter-
val for replacing the filter, which is specified
in the Service Booklet. As this depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pol-
lution, the interval may be shorter than
stated in the Service Booklet.
