The colored guide lines on the display screen indicate vehicle width and\
approximate
distances to objects with reference to the vehicle body line.
• Red 1.5 ft (0.5 m); Yellow 3 ft (1 m); Green 7 ft
(2 m) and 10 ft (3 m).

There are some areas where the system will not
show objects.
• When in the front or the rear view display, an
object below the bumper or on the ground may not
be viewed
2.
• When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the
seam of the camera viewing areas
3 will not
appear in the monitor.

The distance between objects viewed on the AVM
differs from the actual distance.

Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear further
than the actual distance.
MOVING OBJECT DETECTION

If the MOD system detects moving objects
surrounding the vehicle, a yellow frame
4 will
be displayed on the camera image and a chime
will sound.

In the bird’s-eye view, a yellow frame is displayed on
those camera images (front, rear, right, left) where
moving objects are detected.

When the following are displayed:
• Blue MOD icon
5 : the system is operative in this view.
• Gray MOD icon
6 : the system is not operative in this view.
• No MOD icon: the system is off.

To temporarily turn the system on or off, touch the MOD key 7 .
For more information, refer to the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems (secti\

essential information
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display
1 and
the low tire pressure warning light
2 will illuminate
when one or more tires are low in pressure and air
is needed.
• The tire pressures should be checked when the
tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after
the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or
driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.

After the tire pressures are adjusted, drive the
vehicle at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h). The
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and the
low tire pressure warning light
2 will extinguish.

When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for 1 minute and then remains on, the
TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by an INFINITI\
retailer.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicl\
e’s operation and
the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperatu\
re of the air
inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This m\
ay cause the low tire
pressure warning light
2 to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire
pressure in your tires.
• Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always pr\
ior to long
distance trips.

The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Pl\
ease refer to the
“Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of your Owner’\
s Manual for the location
of the Tire and Loading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Loose Fuel Cap
A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear
in the vehicle information display

fuel-filler cap is not tightened correctly.

To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click
is heard.

The warning message will extinguish when the
vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is properly
tightened and the reset button
2 is pressed.

If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction
Indicator Light
may illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”
and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
