on the screen and select the item key and
adjust the level using the INFINITI controller.

OPERATING TIPS
● When the selector lever is shifted to the “R”
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView monitor
mode.
● It may take some time until the RearView
monitor is displayed after the selector lever
has been shifted to “R” from another posi-
tion or to another position from “R”. Objects
may be distorted momentarily until the Rear- View monitor screen is displayed com-
pletely.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
● When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
● 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.
● The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
● The colors of objects on the RearView moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual object.
● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView monitor may not clearly dis-
play objects. Clean the camera.
● 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. ●
Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
● Do not use wax on the camera window. Wipe
off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with mild detergent diluted with water.

periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.
