WARNING
●The Around View Monitor is a conve-
nience feature. It is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
Always look out the windows and check
to be sure that it is safe to move.
● The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
● Do not use the Around View Monitor
with the outside mirror in the stored
position, and make sure that the liftgate
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 on 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 wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock. ●
Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
AVAILABLE VIEWS
WARNING
●The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a refer-
ence only when the vehicle is on a
paved, level surface. The distance
viewed on the monitor may be different
than the actual distance between the
vehicle and displayed 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 predictive course lines
and the bird-eye view may be displayed
incorrectly.
● When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear.
Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
● Objects in the rearview will appear visu-
ally opposite than when viewed in the
rearview and outside mirrors.
● On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course lines and the actual
course line.
● The displayed lines on the rearview will
appear slightly off to the right because
the rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
● The vehicle width and predictive course
lines are wider than the actual width
and course.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-37

Bird-eye view
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle po-
sition 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.
The non-viewable area
2is highlighted in yellow
for several seconds after the bird-eye view is displayed. It will be shown only the first time after
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
an object, the corner sonar indicators
3ap-
pears. When the center of the vehicle moves
close to an object, the center sonar indicator
4
appears (if so equipped) .
The driver can check the direction and angle of
the tire on the display by tire icon
5when driving
the vehicle forward or backward.
Predictive course lines (
6and7) indicate the
predictive course when operating the vehicle.
The predictive course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the steering wheel is turned.
The predictive 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.
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, the two green predic-
tive course lines
6are shown in front of the
vehicle.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees
or more, one green predictive course lines is
shown in front of the vehicle and other green
predictive course lines
7is shown at side of the
vehicle. When the monitor displays the rear view, the
predictive course lines are shown at back of the
vehicle.
WARNING
●
Objects in the bird-eye view will appear
further than the actual distance be-
cause the bird-eye view is a pseudo
view that is processed 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 can-
not be displayed.
● The view of the bird-eye view may be
misaligned 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.
● Tire angle display does not indicate the
actual tire angle.

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION
(MOD)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of the moving objects surround-
ing the vehicle when driving out of garages, ma-
neuvering into 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.
The MOD system operates in the following con-
ditions when the camera view is displayed: ●
When the shift selector is in the P or N
position and the vehicle is stopped, the
MOD system detects the moving objects in
the bird-eye view. The MOD system will not
operate if the outside mirror is moving in or
out or if either door is opened.
● When the shift selector is in the D position
and the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD system
detects moving objects in the front view or
front-wide view.
● When the shift selector is in the R position
and the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD system
detects moving objects in the rearview or
rear-wide view. The MOD system will not
operate if the liftgate is open.
The MOD system does not detect moving ob-
jects in the front-side view. The MOD icon is not
displayed on the screen when in this view.

WARNING
●The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with the ob-
jects surrounding the vehicle. When
maneuvering, always use the outside
mirror and rear view mirror and turn and
check the surrounding to ensure it is
safe to maneuver.
● The MOD system does not have the
function to detect the surrounding sta-
tionary objects.

●When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and then back to the ON posi-
tion.
To set the MOD system so that it remains off at all
times, use the camera settings menu. See
“Around View Monitor settings” in this section for
more information.
WARNING
● Do not use the MOD system when tow-
ing a trailer. The system may not func-
tion properly.
● Excessive noise (for example, audio
system 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
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 vehicle’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 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
muffler, 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 sens-
ing zone may be altered and the MOD
system may not detect objects properly.
Camera maintenance
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera,
the MOD system may not operate properly. Clean
the camera.

●Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system
– warns the driver with a warning light and chime, and helps assist the driver to re-
turn the vehicle to the center direction of
the traveling lane by applying brake con-
trol to the left or right wheels individually
(for a short period of time) .
The LDW and LDP systems monitor the lane
markers on the traveling lane using the camera
unit
1located above the inside mirror. When the
camera unit detects that the vehicle is traveling
close to either the left or the right of the traveling
lane, the Lane departure warning indicator light
on the instrument panel blinks in orange and a warning chime sounds. When the LDP system is
on, it will automatically apply the brakes for a
short period of time, using the function of the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW) SYSTEM
Precautions on LDW system
WARNING
●
This system is only a warning device to
inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer
the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It
is the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
● The system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h)
or if it cannot detect lane markers.
● If the LDW system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically, and the “Please
see owner’s manual” will appear in the
meter display. ●
If the “Please see owner’s manual” ap-
pears in the meter display, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle. Place the shift selector into the
P (Park) position and the ignition switch
into the off position and restart the en-
gine. If the “Please see owner’s
manual” continues to appear in the me-
ter display, have the system checked by
an INFINITI retailer.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
The system may not function properly under the
following conditions: ● On roads where there are multiple parallel
lane markers; lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow painted lane
markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane
markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where the discontinued lane mark-
ers are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.

LANE CAMERA UNIT
MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDW/LDP sys-
tem is located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of the LDW/ LDP systems
and prevent a system malfunction, be sure to
observe the following:
● Always keep the windshield clean.
● Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
camera unit.
SSD0453
Starting and driving5-29

●Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability of
detecting the lane markers.
● Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. If the camera unit is damaged
due to an accident, contact an INFINITI re-
tailer.WARNING
●The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW/BSI when cer-
tain objects are present such as::
– Several types of vehicles such as motorcycles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a
stop. For additional information See
“BSW/BSI driving situations” in this
section.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle. For additional
information see “BSW/BSI driving
situations” later in this section.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. For additional information
see “BSW/BSI driving situations” in
this section.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over- takes rapidly. For additional informa-
tion see “BSW/BSI driving situa-
tions” in this section. ●
The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
● The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects, however
objects such as guardrails, walls, foli-
age and parked vehicles may occasion-
ally be detected. This is a normal oper-
ating condition.
● Severe weather or road spray condi-
tions may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles.
● The camera may not detect lane mark-
ers in the following situations and the
BSI system may not operate properly.
– On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; onstan-
dard lane markers; lane markers cov-
ered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
