ing. Your hand may be pinched, and the mir-
ror may malfunction.
● Do not drive with the mirrors stored. You will
be unable to see behind the vehicle.

HOW TO USE DISC·AUX BUTTON
Images being played can be switched to the
center display if NTSC compatible devices are
connected to the auxiliary input jacks in the
center console. (See “AUXILIARY INPUT JACKS”
later in this section.) Push the DISC·AUX (with
navigation system) or AUX (without navigation
system) button to perform switching.
The above display will appear when the “Menu”
key is selected using the INFINITI controller.
How to use disc button (for models
without navigation system)
Push the DISC button to play a Compact Disc
(CD). See “AUDIO SYSTEM” later in this section.When the selector lever is shifted into the “R”
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows
view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
detecting large stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle. The system will not de-
tect small objects below the bumper and may
not detect objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
WARNING
●
The rearview camera is a convenience but it
is not a substitute for proper backing up.
Always turn and check that it is safe to do so
before backing up. Always back up slowly.
● Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor dif-
fer from actual distance because a wide-
angle lens is used. Objects in the RearView
Monitor will appear visually opposite like
ones viewed in the inside and outside
mirrors.
● Make sure that the back door is securely
closed when backing up.
● Underneath the bumper and the corner areas
of the bumper cannot be viewed on the rear-
view monitor because of its monitoring
range limitation. ●
Do not put anything on the rearview camera.
The rearview camera is installed above the
license plate.
● When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water may
enter the camera unit causing water conden-
sation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock.
● Do not strike the camera. It is a precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunction
or cause damage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.
CAUTION
There is a plastic cover over the camera. Do not
scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or snow
from the cover.

●When backing up the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are further than
they appear. When backing up the vehicle
down a hill, objects viewed in the monitor
are closer than they appear. Use the inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course lines are
wider than the actual width and course.
1. Visually check that the parking space is safe before parking your vehicle.
2. The rearview of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
Aas illustrated when the
selector lever is moved to the “R” (Re-
verse) position. 3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting the
steering wheel so that the predicted

WARNING
●The Around View Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper vehicle
operation because it has areas where ob-
jects cannot be viewed. Always look out the
windows and check mirrors to be sure that it
is safe to move before operating the vehicle.
Always operate the vehicle slowly.
● Do not use the Around View Monitor with the
outside mirror in the stored position, and
make sure that the lift gate is securely
closed when operating the vehicle using the
Around View Monitor.
● The distance between objects viewed on the
Around View Monitor differs from the actual
distance.
● The cameras are installed above the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the rear
license plate. Do not put anything on 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 conden-
sation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or an
electric shock. ●
Do not strike the cameras. They are precision
instruments. Doing so could cause a mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a fire
or an electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning dirt or
snow from the front of the camera.
NOTE:
The color of the view on the Around View Monitor
display is different from the actual view because
the system uses infrared cameras.

HOW TO SEE EACH VIEW
WARNING
● The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a paved, level surface.
The distance viewed on the monitor is for
reference only and may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
● Use the displayed lines and the bird-eye
view as a reference. The lines and the bird-
eye view are greatly affected by the number
of occupants, fuel level, vehicle position,
road condition and road grade. ●
If the tires are replaced with different sized
tires, the predicted course line and the bird-
eye view may be displayed incorrectly.
● When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further than they
appear. When driving the vehicle down a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are closer than
they appear. Use the mirrors or actually look
to properly judge distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course lines
are wider than the actual width and course.

Front and rearview
Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
A, are displayed on the
monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
● Red line
1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
● Yellow line
2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
● Green line
3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
● Green line
4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)
Vehicle width guide lines
5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
6:
Indicate the predicted course when operating
the vehicle. The predicted course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the steering
wheel is turned. The predicted course lines will
move depending on how much the steering
wheel is turned and will not be displayed while
the steering wheel is in the neutral position.
The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10 km/h).
WARNING
● The distance between objects viewed in the
rearview differs from actual distance be-
cause a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in
the rearview will appear visually opposite
than when viewed in the rearview and out-
side mirrors.
● On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predicted
course line and the actual course line.
● If the battery is disconnected or becomes
discharged, the predicted course lines may
be displayed incorrectly. If this occurs, per-
form the following procedure:
– Drive the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5 minutes.
● When the steering wheel is turned with the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position, the
predicted course lines may be displayed
incorrectly.
● The displayed lines on the rearview will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the
rearview camera is not installed in the rear
center of the vehicle.

NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view and
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
less from the neutral position, both the right and
left predicted course lines
6are displayed.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees
or more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird-eye view
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predicted course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the size of the vehicle icon on
the bird-eye view may differ somewhat from the
actual vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
2are
indicated in black.
After pushing the ignition switch, with the
Blind-Area Reminder turned to ON, the non-
viewable area
2is highlighted in yellow for 7
seconds after the bird-eye view is displayed. When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
an object, the corner sonar indicator
3ap-
pears.
WARNING
● Objects in the bird-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because the
bird-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the
cameras on the outside mirrors, the front
and the rear of the vehicle.
● Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle, may
be misaligned or not displayed at the seam
of the views.
● Objects that are above the camera cannot be
displayed.
● The view for the bird-eye view may be mis-
aligned when the camera position alters.
● A line on the ground may be misaligned and
is not seen as being straight at the seam of
the views. The misalignment will increase as
the line proceeds away from the vehicle.
