vehicle.
The anti-glare system will be automatically
turned on when the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position.
When the anti-glare system is turned on, the
indicator light
sAwill illuminate and excessive
glare from the headlights of the vehicle behind
you will be reduced.

Linking Intelligent Key to a stored
memory position
The Intelligent Key can be linked to a stored
memory position with the following procedure.
1. Follow the steps for storing a memoryposition.
2. While the indicator light for the memory switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec-
onds, push the

fuse opens, the memory will be canceled. In
this case, reset the desired position using
the previous procedure.
c If optional Intelligent Keys are added to your
vehicle, perform the memory storage proce-
dure to switch (1 or 2) and linking Intelligent
Key procedure to a stored memory position
again for each Intelligent Key. For additional
Intelligent Key information, see ªKEYSº ear-
lier in this section.
Selecting the memorized position

HOW TO USE DISC BUTTON (for
models without navigation system)
Push theDISCbutton to play the Compact Disc
(CD). See ªAUDIO SYSTEMº later in this section. When the selector lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows
the 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
c
The rear view 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.
c 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.
c Make sure that the trunk is securely closed
when backing up.
c Underneath the bumper and the corner areas
of the bumper cannot be viewed on the Rear-
View Monitor because of its monitoring
range limitation. c
Do not put anything on the rear view camera.
The rear view camera is installed above the
license plate.
c 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.
c 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.

cWhen 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 rear view of the vehicle is displayed on the screen
sAwhen the selector lever
is moved to the R (Reverse) position. 3. Slowly back up the vehicle adjusting the
steering wheel so that the predicted

LANE CAMERA UNIT MAINTENANCE
The lane camera units1for the LDW/LDP
system is located inside the map light cover. To
keep the proper operation of the LDW/LDP
systems and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
c Always keep the windshield clean.
c Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
camera unit.
c 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. c
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.
PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CONTROL
cIf the cruise control system malfunctions, it
will cancel automatically. The SET indicator
on the dot matrix crystal display will then
blink to warn the driver.
c If the engine coolant temperature becomes
excessively high, the cruise control system
will be canceled automatically.
c If the SET indicator blinks, turn the cruise
control main switch off and have the system
checked by your INFINITI retailer.
c The SET indicator may sometimes blink
when the cruise control main switch is
turned ON while pushing the
RESUME/ACCELERATE, SET/COAST or CAN-
CEL switch. To properly set the cruise control
system, perform the steps below in the order
indicated.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving un-
der the following conditions:
cwhen it is not possible to keep the vehicle at
a set speed
c in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in
speed
c on winding or hilly roads
