FUEL ECON button on the control panel.
Tire Pressure information
The tire pressure will be displayed for refer-
ence.
The pressure indication ª** psiº on the screen
means that the tire pressure is being measured.
After a few driving trips, the pressure for each
tire will be displayed.
In case of low tire pressure, LOW PRESSURE
information will be displayed on the screen.
Check the pressure for all tires.
Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the
heat caused by the vehicle's traveling condition
and the temperature.

After tire rotation is performed, tire pressure
will not be displayed in the actual tire position.
Drive the vehicle at over 25 MPH (40 km/h) for
approximately 10 minutes to reset the display.
For more details about the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS), see ªTIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)º in the ª5. Start-
ing and drivingº section.
WARNING
cWhen a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is
replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated,
the TPMS will not function and the low tire
pressure warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will remain on
after 1 minute. Contact your INFINITI retailer
as soon as possible for tire replacement
and/or system resetting.
c Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.

HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
bumper line
sAare displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.
c Red line
s1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
c Yellow line
s2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
c Green line
s3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
c Green line
s4: approx. 10 ft (3 m) Vehicle width guide lines
s5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
s6:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the selector lever is in the R (
Reverse) position and 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.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
c Always turn and check that it is safe to do so
before backing up. Always back up slowly.
c Use the displayed lines as a reference. The
lines are highly affected by the number of
occupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road
condition and road grade.
c If the tires are replaced with different sized
tires, the predicted course line may be dis-
played incorrectly. c
On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predicted
course line and the actual course line.
c If the battery is disconnected or becomes
discharged, the predicted course lines may
be displayed incorrectly. If this occurs, drive
the vehicle on a straight road for more than 5
minutes.
c When the steering wheel is turned with the
ignition switch in the ACC position, the pre-
dicted course lines may be displayed
incorrectly.
c The displayed lines will appear slightly off to
the right because the rear view camera is not
installed in the rear center of the vehicle.
c The distance guide line and the vehicle
width guide line should be used as a refer-
ence only when the vehicle is on a level
paved surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance between
the vehicle and displayed objects.

tion
sCis actually at the same distance as the
position
sA. The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to the position
sAif the object
projects over the actual backing up course.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness, Tint,
Color, Contrast and Black Level of the RearView
Monitor, push the SETTINGbutton with the
RearView Monitor on, select the item key and
adjust the level using the INFINITI controller.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color, Con-
trast and Black Level of the RearView Monitor
while the vehicle is moving. Make sure the
parking brake is firmly applied and the engine
is not running.
OPERATING TIPS
c When the selector lever is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView Monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.
c It may take some time until the RearView
Monitor or the normal screen is displayed
after the selector lever has been shifted to R
from another position or to another position
from R. Objects may be distorted momen-
tarily until the RearView Monitor screen is
displayed completely. c
When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
c When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
c Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
c The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
c The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual object.
c Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
c If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView Monitor may not clearly dis-
play objects. Clean the camera.
c Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolora-
tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.
c Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.

air directly on the occupants.
Distribution between straight and upward flows
will be determined automatically by the climate
control system.
If you prefer strong air flow against your upper
body, push the ª
º button to turn the
indicator light off. To turn the system off :
Push the ªOFFº button.
Ambient temperature
The ambient temperature will be displayed.
The ambient temperature sensor is located in

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Radio
Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the radio band select button
to turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio
with the engine not running, the ignition switch
should be pushed to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle may
influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception :
Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle,
even when the finest equipment is used. These
characteristics are completely normal in a givenreception area, and do not indicate any mal-
function in your INFINITI radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, ter-
rain, signal distance and interference from
other vehicles can work against ideal reception.
Described below are some of the factors that
can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to come
from the audio system speakers. Storing the
device in a different location may reduce or
eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception :
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the
FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to
the distance between the transmitter and re-
ceiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path,
exhibiting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to
fade and/or drift.
