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.

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.

WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function oper-
ates only when the engine is running.
c Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal in-
juries to people or animals.
c 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.
Start the engine and operate the automatic
climate control system.
When the ªSTATUSº button is pushed, the
automatic climate control status screen will
appear. (See ªHOW TO USE STATUS BUTTONº
earlier in this section.) You can individually set the driver and front
passenger side temperature and air flow using
each temperature control button and manual air
flow control button. (DUAL mode)

REAR SWITCHES FOR CLIMATE
CONTROL (if so equipped)
The rear seat passengers can adjust the climate
control system using the climate controls in the
rear armrest panel.
ªAUTOº button: automatic climate control
mode on
ª
º button: Fan speed control up (Max fan
speed !return to Low fan speed)
ª
º button: Temperature control up/down
OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the air flow from
the foot outlets may not operate for a maximum
of 150 seconds. This is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, air will flow
normally from the foot outlets. The sunload sensor
sAon the instrument panel
helps maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around this sensor.
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The climate control system is equipped with an
in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,
dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner
heats, defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace
the filter in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in the INFINITI Service and Mainte-
nance Guide. To replace the filter, contact an
INFINITI retailer. The filter should be replaced if air flow is ex-
tremely decreased or when windows fog up eas-
ily when operating heater or air conditioning
system.
SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control system in your INFINITI is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will not
harm the earth's ozone layer. However, special
charging equipment and lubricant are required
when servicing your INFINITI air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will
cause severe damage to your climate control
system. (See ªCAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED
FUEL/LUBRICANTSº in the ª9. Technical and
consumer informationº section for climate con-
trol system refrigerant and lubricant recommen-
dations.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly climate control sys-
tem.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under high
pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air con-
ditioner service should be done only by an ex-
perienced technician with the proper
equipment.
