•The Around View® Monitor is a conve-
nience feature and is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
The four corners of the vehicle in par-
ticular, are areas where objects do not
always appear in the bird’s-eye, front,
or rear views. Always check your sur-
roundings to be sure that it is safe to
move before operating the vehicle. Al-
ways operate the vehicle slowly.
•The driver is always responsible for safety
during parking and other maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning dirt
or snow from the front of the camera.
The Around View® Monitor system is de-
signed as an aid to the driver in situations
such as slot parking or parallel parking.
The monitor displays various views of the
position of the vehicle in a split screen format.
All views are not available at all times.Available views:
•Front View
An approximately 150-degree view of the
front of the vehicle.
•Rear View
An approximately 150-degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
•Bird's-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle from
above.
•Front-Side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.To display the multiple views, the Around
View® Monitor system uses cameras1lo-
cated in the front grille, on the vehicle’s out-
side mirrors and one just above the vehicle’s
rear number plate.

Available views
WARNING
•The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width lines should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed objects.
•Use the displayed lines and the bird's-
eye view as a reference. The lines and the
bird's-eye view are greatly affected by
the number of occupants, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road condition and road
grade.
•When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-
jects viewed in the monitor are farther
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear.
•Objects in the monitor will appear visu-
ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the rear view and outside mirrors.
•Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.
•The distance between objects viewed in
the rear view differs from actual dis-
tance because a wide-angle lens is used.
•The displayed lines on the rear view will
appear slightly off to the right because
the rear view camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations
on the ground are for approximate reference
only. Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or
projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in
the monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to
illustrations). When in doubt, turn around and
view the objects as you are backing up, or
park and exit the vehicle to view the position-
ing of objects behind the vehicle.

•The cameras are installed on the front
grille, the outside mirrors and above the
rear license plate. Do not put anything
on the cameras.
•When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a malfunc-
tion, fire or an electric shock.
•Do not strike the cameras. They are pre-
cision instruments. Doing so could cause
a malfunction or cause damage resulting
in a fire or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
•There may be a delay when switching be-
tween views.
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly.
•When strong light is directly shines on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDW system
is located above the inside mirror.
To ensure the proper operation of the LDW
system and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
•Always keep the windshield clean.
•Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near
the camera unit.
•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.
•Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove parts from the camera unit.
If the camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended you contact
an INFINITI retailer.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions 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 pre-
vent 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 adja-
cent lanes when changing lanes.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW)
SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
5-36Starting and driving

The BSW system uses radar sensorsAin-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent
lane.The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther 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.
