HOW TO ADJUST SCREEN
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness,
Tint, Color, Contrast and Black Level of the
rearview monitor, push theSETTINGbutton
with the rearview monitor on, select the
“Display” key on the screen and select the
item key and adjust the level using the
INFINITI controller.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color,
Contrast and Black Level of the rearview
monitor while the vehicle is moving. Make
sure the parking brake is firmly applied.
OPERATING TIPS
. When the shift lever is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen
automatically changes to the rearview
monitor mode. However, the radio can
be heard.
. When the view is switched, the display
images on the screen may be displayed
with some delay.
. When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
. When strong light is directly coming on
the camera, objects may not be dis-
played clearly. This is not a malfunc- tion.
. 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 fluores-
cent light. This is not a malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the RearView
monitor may differ somewhat from the
actual color of objects. This is not a
malfunction.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear
in a dark environment. This is not a
malfunction.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the RearView monitor may not
display object clearly. Clean the cam-
era.
. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. 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 af-
fected.
. Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth dampened with mild detergent diluted
with water.

HOW TO SEE EACH VIEW
WARNING
. The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line 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-eye
view as a reference. The lines and the
bird-eye view are greatly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predictive course line
and the bird-eye view may be displayed
incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the
vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in
the monitor are closer than they appear.
Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other ob-
jects.

actual moving course.
CAMERA AIDING CORNER SONAR
FUNCTION
When the corner of the vehicle moves
closer to the object while the Around View
Monitor is displayed, an indicator is
displayed and a tone is sounded by the
corner sonar function to warn the driver.
The color of the corner sonar indicator and
the pattern of the tone vary according to
the distance to the object.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the volume of the tone
increase. When the corner of the vehicle
is very close to the object, the indicator
stops blinking and turns red, and the tone
sounds continuously.
Keep the corner sonars (located on the
front and rear bumper fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the corner sonar function will
be diminished.
WARNING
.The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
. The colors of the corner sonar indicator
and the distance guide lines in the front/
rearview indicate different distances to
the object.
. Inclement weather may affect the func-
tion of the corner sonar system; this
may include reduced performance or a
false activation.
. This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the
vehicle. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on
the ground.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the tone clearly.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN VIEW
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness,
Tint, Color, Contrast and Black Level of the
Around View Monitor, push the SETTING
button with the Around View Monitor on,
select the item key and adjust the level
using the INFINITI controller.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color,
Contrast and Black Level of the Around
View Monitor while the vehicle is moving.
Make sure the parking brake is firmly
applied.

Open or close, and adjust the air flow
direction of ventilators.
: This symbol indicates that the vents are closed.
: This symbol indicates that the vents are open.
WARNING
. The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is run-
ning.
. 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 injuries to
people or animals.
. 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.
NOTE:
.Odors from inside and outside the
vehicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the passen-
ger compartment through the vents.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the passenger compartment. This
should help reduce odors inside the
vehicle.
When the “STATUS”button is pushed, the
automatic climate control status screen
will appear. (See “How to use STATUS
button” (P.4-10).)
