   For information regarding how to access additional viewing cycles, pleas\
e see your  
Owner’s Manual.
   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 (MOD)
   If the MOD system detects moving objects surrounding the vehicle, a yell\
ow 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 i\
mages (front, rear, 
right, left) where moving objects are detected.
  When the following is displayed:
 
 
•  
 Blue  MOD icon
 
5: the system is operative in  
this view.
 
 
•  
Gray  MOD icon
 
6: the system is not operative in

Garage Mode System
   Your vehicle’s power liftgate operation can be set to stop opening at\

s. 
For more information, refer to the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.

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 tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above 16 \
mph (25 km/h).  
The 
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and 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.
