.When selecting the “Change View”key
on the screen, the view on the screen
will switch between the available views
*11/*13/*20.
. The view on the driver’s side or the wide
view switches to the rear view
*B/*C/*Dwhen the shift lever is
shifted into the R (Reverse) position
*15/*17/*19. The view on the driver’s
side or the wide view returns to the

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.
. The vehicle width and predictive course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
. The distance between objects viewed in
the rearview differs from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the rearview will appear
visually opposite than when viewed in
the rearview and outside mirrors.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course line and the actual
course line. .
The displayed lines on the rearview will
appear slightly off to the right because
the rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.

.A line on the ground may be misaligned
and is not seen as being straight at the
seam of the views. The misalignment will
increase as the line proceeds away from
the vehicle.
. Tire angle display does not indicate the
actual tire angle
JVH0265X
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view
of the vehicle, which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predicted course
to a parking space.
The vehicle icon
*1shows the position of
the vehicle. Note that the size of the
vehicle icon on the bird-eye view may
differ somewhat from the actual vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
*2are indicated in black. The non-viewable
area
*2is highlighted in yellow for several
seconds after the bird-eye view is dis-
played. It will be shown only the first time
after the ignition switch is placed in the
“ON” position. When the corner of the vehicle moves
closer to an object, the corner sonar
indicators
*3appears.
The driver can check the direction and
angle of the tire on the display by tire icon
*4when driving the vehicle forward or
backward.
Predictive course lines (
*5and*6)
indicate the predictive course when oper-
ating the vehicle. The predictive course
lines will be displayed on the monitor
when the steering wheel is turned. The
predictive course lines will move depend-
ing on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or less from the neutral position,
the two green predictive course lines
*5are shown in front of the vehicle.
When the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or more, one green predictive
course line
*6is shown in front of the
vehicle and the other green predictive
course line
*6is shown at side of the
vehicle.
When the monitor displays the rear view,

the predictive course lines are shown at
back of the vehicle.
SAA1842
Front-side view
Guiding lines:
Guiding lines that indicate the width and
the front end of the vehicle are displayed
on the monitor.
The front-of-vehicle line
*1shows the front
part of the vehicle.
The side-of-vehicle line
*2shows the
vehicle width including the outside mirror.
The extensions
*3of both the front*1and side*2lines are shown with a green
dotted line.
The corner sonar indicator
*4will appear when a corner of the vehicle moves closer
to an object.
The corner sonar indicator
*4can be
turned off. See “Around view monitor
settings” (P.4-45).
CAUTION
The turn signal light may look like with the
side-of-vehicle line. This is not a malfunc-
tion.

(P.4-45) for more information.
WARNING
. Do not use the MOD system when
towing a trailer. The system may not
function properly.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
. The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as:
—When there is low contrast between
background and the moving objects.
—When there is blinking source oflight.
—When strong light such as anothervehicle’ 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 orsnow on the camera lens.
—When the position of the movingobjects in the display is not changed.
. The MOD system might detect some-
thing 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, direc-
tion, 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 sen-
sing zone may be altered and the MOD
system may not detect objects properly.

if it occurs frequently.
OPERATING TIPS
. The screen displayed on the Around
View Monitor will automatically return
to the previous screen 3 minutes after
the CAMERA button has been pushed
while the shift lever is in a position
other than the R (Reverse) position. .
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 display
objects clearly. 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.
. The screen may flicker under fluores-
cent light. This is not a malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the Around
View Monitor may differ somewhat
from the actual color of objects. This
is not a malfunction.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear
and the color of the object may differ in
a dark environment. This is not a
malfunction.
. There may be differences in sharpness
between each camera view of the bird-
eye view.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the Around View Monitor may
not display objects clearly. Clean the
camera. .
Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth that has been
dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera because the
monitor screen may be adversely af-
fected.
. Do not use wax on the camera lens.

: Air flows from center and side ventilators.
: Air flows from center and side ventilators and foot outlets.
: Air flows mainly from foot outlets.
: Air flows from defroster and foot outlets.
To turn the system off
Push the “OFF”button.
Advanced Climate Control System
(ACCS) (if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System
(ACCS) keeps the air inside of the vehicle
clean, using the ion control and the
automatic air intake control with outside
odor and exhaust gas detecting sensor.

SAA2734
Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster
®ions into the air blown
from the ventilators and reduces odors
absorbed into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions
automatically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions in-
creases according to the amount of air
flow. When the air flow is high, “
”is
displayed on the screen and when the air
flow is low, the indication in the screen
changes to “
”.
Plasmacluster®and Plasmacluster®ion
are registered trademarks of Sharp Cor-
poration.
Outside odor and exhaust gas detection
sensor:
This vehicle is equipped with an outside
odor and exhaust gas detection sensor.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, the sensor detects odors and exhaust
gases, and then the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the intake air control button is
pushed under the following conditions,
the indicator light on the “
”side will
illuminate and the outside odor and
exhaust gas detection sensor will turn on.
. The air flow control is not in the front
defroster mode (the indicator light on
the “
”front defroster button is
turned off). .
The outside temperature is about 328F
(08C) or more.
. The outside odor and exhaust gas
detection sensor detects industrial
odors such as pulp or chemicals, and
exhaust gases such as gasoline or
diesel.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, for the first 5 minutes, the recircula-
tion mode is selected to prevent dust, dirt
and pollen from entering the vehicle and
cleans the air inside of the vehicle with
positive and negative ions that are emitted
from the ventilator.
After the 5 minutes, the sensor detects
outside odors and exhaust gases and
automatically alternates between the re-
circulation mode and outside air circula-
tion mode.
OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate.
This is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, air will flow nor-
mally from the foot outlets.

equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your INFINITI radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
SAA0306
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single channel) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibit-
ing many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off
objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves awayfrom a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by lowering the treble
setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct
and reflected signals reach the receiver at
the same time. The signals may cancel
each other, resulting in momentary flutter
or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics.
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur
for several seconds during ionospheric
turbulence even in areas where no obsta-
