mirror INFINITI QX30 2017 Owner's Guide

•The RearView Monitor is a convenience fea-
ture but it is not a substitute for proper
backing up. Always turn and look out the
windows, and check mirrors to be sure that
it is safe to move before operating the ve-
hicle. Always back up slowly.
•The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in showing large stationary objects
directly behind the vehicle, to help avoid
damaging the vehicle.
•The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
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 ve-
hicle and displayed objects.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when cleaning
dirt or snow from the lens.
The RearView Monitor system automatically
shows a rear view of the vehicle when the shift
lever is placed in the R (Reverse) position.
The radio can still be heard while the RearView
Monitor is active. To display the rear view, the RearView Monitor
system uses a camera located just above the
vehicle’s rear license plate
1.

not show objects close to the bumper or on
the ground.
•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 than when viewed in the
rear view and outside mirrors.
•Use the displayed lines as a reference. The
lines are highly affected by the number of
occupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road
conditions and road grade.
•Make sure that the lift gate is securely
closed when backing up.
•Do not put anything on the rear view cam-
era. The rear view camera is installed above
the license plate.
•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 con-
densation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or
an electric shock.
•Do not strike the camera. It is a precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunctionor cause damage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and do
not represent a system malfunction:
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects.
•When strong light shines directly on to the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
•Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper.
•The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
•The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects.
•Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark environment.
•Do not use wax on the camera window. Wipe
off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with mild detergent diluted with water.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolou-
ration. 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.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera
1, the RearView Monitor may not display
objects clearly. Clean the camera by wiping it
with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild

•The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with objects sur-
rounding the vehicle. When maneuvering,
always use the outside mirror and rearview
mirror and turn and check the surroundings
to ensure it is safe to maneuver.
•The system is deactivated at speeds above 5
MPH (8 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
•The MOD system is not designed to detect
the surrounding stationary objects.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of moving objects surrounding
the vehicle when driving out of garages, maneu-
vering into parking lots and in other such
instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the im-
age shown on the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will activate automatically
under the following conditions:
•When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
•When the button is pressed to
switch from a different screen to the camera
view on the display.
•When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 5 MPH (8 km/h).
•When the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position and then back to the ON position.
NOTE
•The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD icon
is not displayed on the screen when in this
view.
•While the parking sensor warning tone is
sounding, the MOD system does not chime. The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is displayed:
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is approximately
5 MPH (8 km/h ) or less, the MOD system
detects moving objects in the camera view. The
MOD system will not operate if the lift gate is
open.
When the MOD system detects moving objects
near the vehicle, a chime will be heard and a
yellow frame
1will be displayed on the moni-
tor.
While the MOD system continues to detect
moving objects, the yellow frame continues to
be displayed.
The yellow frame
1is displayed on each view
in the rear view modes.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle in accor-
dance with these system limitations could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
•Do not use the MOD system when towing a
trailer (if available). The system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume or open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The MOD system performance will be lim-
ited 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 vehi-
cle’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 objects
in the display is not changed.
•The MOD system might detect something
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, direction, 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 sensing zone may
be altered and the MOD system may not
detect objects properly.
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
MOD MALFUNCTION
If the orange MOD icon is displayed in the view,
the system is not functioning properly. This will
not hinder normal driving operation, but the
system should be inspected. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use of the BSW system could result
in serious injury or death.
•The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system is not
a replacement for proper driving procedure
and is not designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects. When changing lanes,
always use the side and rear mirrors and
turn and look in the direction you will move
to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never
rely solely on the BSW system.
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system can help
alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent
lanes when changing lanes. The BSW system uses radar sensors
Ain-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent
lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and
extends approximately 10 ft (3 m) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3 m)
sideways.
