SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
Around View® Monitor. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ Do not use the Around View® Monitor with the outside mirrors in the stored po-
sition, and make sure that the liftgate is
securely closed when operating the ve-
hicle using the Around View® Monitor.

differs from the actual distance.
∙ The cameras are installed on the front grille, the outside mirrors and above the
rear license plate. Do not put anything on
the vehicle that covers the cameras.
∙ When washing the vehicle with high pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing water

When the “[X]” icon is displayed on the
screen, the camera image may be receiving
temporary electronic disturbances from sur-
rounding devices. This will not hinder normal
driving operation but the system should be
inspected. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
∙ Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner toclean the camera. This will cause
discoloration.
∙ Do not damage the cameras as the moni- tor screen may be adversely affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of the
cameras
1, the Around View® Monitor may
not display objects clearly. Clean the camera
by wiping with a cloth dampened with a di-
luted mild cleaning agent and then wiping
with a dry cloth.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the sonar function as
outlined in this section could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The sonar is a convenience feature. It is not a substitute for proper parking.
∙ This function is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects to help avoid damaging the vehicle.
∙ The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
∙ Always look around and check that it is safe to move before parking.
∙ Read and understand the limitations of the sonar as contained in this section.
The sonar function helps to inform the driver
of large stationary objects around the vehicle
when parking by issuing an audible and visual
alert.

WARNING
∙ Failure to follow the warnings and in-structions for proper use of the Moving
Object Detection system could result in
serious injury or death.
∙ 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 mirrors
and rearview mirror and turn and check
the surroundings to ensure it is safe to
maneuver.
∙ The system is deactivated at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated
at lower speeds.
∙ The MOD system is not designed to de- tect surrounding stationary objects.
The MOD system can inform the driver of
moving objects near the vehicle when back-
ing out of garages, maneuvering in parking
lots and in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the
image shown in the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions: ∙ When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position. When activating the Around
View® Monitor, the guide lines, the icons
and the messages may not be displayed
immediately.
∙ When the
CAMERA button is
pressed to activate the camera view on
the display.
∙ When vehicle speed decreases below ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h) and the
camera screen is shown in the upper dis-
play. The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is dis-
played:
∙ When the shift lever is in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position and the vehicle is
stopped, the MOD system detects mov-
ing objects in the bird’s-eye view. The
MOD system will not operate if the out-
side mirrors are moving in or out, in the
stowed position, or if either front door is
opened.

the MOD system does not chime.
In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow frame
1is
displayed on each camera image (front, rear,
right, left) depending on where moving ob-
jects are detected.
The yellow frame
2is displayed on each
view in the front view and rear view modes. A blue or green MOD icon
3is displayed in
the view where the MOD system is operative.
A gray MOD icon is displayed in the view

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. 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 a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another ve- hicle’s headlight or sunlight is present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when a mirror is
folded.

WARNING
∙ The air conditioner cooling function op- erates only when the engine is running.
∙ Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
also not be left alone. They could acciden-
tally injure themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the vehicle.
Also, 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.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-35

∙ If the surface temperature of thesteering-wheel is above the tempera-
ture within which the system is de-
signed to operate, the system will not
heat the steering-wheel. This is not a
malfunction. The air conditioner system in your INFINITI
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is
required when servicing your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to your
air conditioner system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Air conditioner system re-
frigerant and oil recommendations” in the
“Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion of this manual.
It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for servicing your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment. There are USB/iPod® charging ports located
in the 1st row on the inside of the console box
and in the 2nd row on the back of the center
console. These ports will charge compatible
devices.
NOTE:
The USB/iPod® charging ports will not op-
erate with the display screen. Only the USB
connection port located beneath the instru-
ment panel will operate USB/iPod® devices.

The vehicle is equipped with a shark fin an-
tenna and an antenna pattern is printed in-
side the rear window.
CAUTION
∙ Do not place metalized film near the rearwindow glass or attach any metal parts
to it. This may cause poor reception or
noise.
∙ When cleaning the inside of the rear win- dow, be careful not to scratch or damage
the rear window antenna. Lightly wipe
along the antenna with a dampened soft
cloth. When installing a CB, ham radio or car phone
in your vehicle, be sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions; otherwise, the new equip-
ment may adversely affect the engine control
system and other electronic parts.WARNING
∙ A cellular phone should not be used for
any purpose while driving so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of cel-
lular phones while driving.
∙ If you must make a call while your vehicle is in motion, the hands free cellular phone
operational mode is highly recom-
mended. Exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
∙ If you are unable to devote full attention to vehicle operation while talking on the
phone, pull off the road to a safe location
and stop your vehicle.
