•The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with objects
surrounding the vehicle. When maneu-
vering, 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 de-
tect the surrounding stationary objects.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system
can inform the driver of moving objects sur-
rounding the vehicle when driving out of ga-
rages, maneuvering into parking lots and in
other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the
image 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 dis-
played:
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 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 ob-
jects near the vehicle, a chime will be heard
and a yellow frame
1will be displayed on
the monitor.
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 ac-
cordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
•Do not use the MOD system when tow-
ing a trailer (if available). The system
may not function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio sys-
tem volume or open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
•The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions 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
vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is pres-
ent.
– 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 ob-
jects in the display is not changed.
•The MOD system might detect some-
thing like flowing water droplets on the
camera lens, white smoke from the muf-
fler, moving shadows, etc.
•The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, direc-
tion, 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 sys-
tem may not detect objects properly.
•When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not display ob-
jects 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 rec-
ommended 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 discol-
oration. 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 oper-
ate 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 un-
knowingly activate switches or controls
and inadvertently become involved in a
serious accident and injure themselves.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures 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 condi-
tioning controls while driving so that full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when
the engine is running. The air blower will op-
erate even if the engine is turned off and the
ignition switch is in the ON position. NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condi-
tioning unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are there-
fore normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise 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 dehumidifi-
cation function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting func-
tion briefly, if required. The air-conditioning system/automatic cli-
mate control regulates the temperature and
the humidity of the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic cli-
mate 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 dur-
ing 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 par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. With automatic climate
control, gaseous pollutants and odors will
also be reduced. A clogged filter reduces
the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason, you should always
observe the interval for replacing the filter,
which is specified in the Service Booklet.
As this depends on environmental condi-
tions, for example heavy air pollution, the
interval may be shorter than stated in the
Service Booklet.
