NISSAN ALTIMA 2014 L33 / 5.G Owners Manual

Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown farther than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place
A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance onthe hill is the place
B. Note that any object on
the hill is closer than it appears on the monitor.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN (if
so equipped)
To set up the RearView Monitor to your preferred
settings, press the SETTING button while the
RearView Monitor screen is displayed. Each time
the SETTING button is pressed, the next setting
item is selected. Turn the
TUNE·SCROLL/TUNE·FOLDER control knob to
adjust each item.
Available setting items:
● Brightness
● Contrast
● Tint
● Color
● Black Level
The setting items will disappear and the display
will return to the original screen if SETTING but-
ton is pressed when the last setting item is se-
lected or if the screen is left without operation for
some time.
OPERATING TIPS
CAUTION
● 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 a di-
luted mild cleaning agent and then wipe
with a dry cloth.
● Do not damage the camera as the moni-
tor screen may be adversely affected.
● When the shift lever is shifted to R (Re-
verse) , the monitor screen automatically
changes to the RearView Monitor mode.
However, the radio can be heard.
● It may take some time until the RearView
Monitor is displayed after the shift lever has
been shifted to R (Reverse) . Objects may be
distorted momentarily until the RearView
Monitor screen is displayed completely.
When the shift lever is returned to a position
other than R (Reverse) , it may take some
time until the screen changes. Objects on
the screen may be distorted until they are
completely displayed.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.

●When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
● 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 fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
● The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual object.
● When the contrast of objects is low at night,
pressing the SETTING button or MENU but-
ton may not change the brightness.
● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night.
● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView Monitor may not display ob-
jects. Clean the camera.
● Do not use body wax on the camera window.
If body wax does get on the camera window,
wipe off the wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water. When the shift lever is shifted into the R (Re-
verse) position, the monitor display shows view to
the rear of the vehicle.
The system 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 bumber and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
Available views:
● Rear View
An approximately 150–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
● Rear-Wide View
An approximately 180–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
WARNING
● The RearView Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing up. Always turn and check that it is
safe to do so before backing up. Always
back up slowly. ●
Objects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used. Objects
viewed in the RearView Monitor appear
visually opposite, just like ones viewed
in the inside and outside rearview
mirrors.
● Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
● Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation.
● Do not put anything on the RearView
camera. The RearView camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.
● When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, fire or an electric shock.
● Do not strike the camera. It is a preci-
sion instrument. Otherwise, it may mal-
function or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
● Always turn and check that it is safe to
do so before backing up. Always back
up slowly.
●
Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the num-
ber of occupants, fuel level, vehicle posi-
tion, road conditions and road grade.
● If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
● On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
● If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted course
lines may be displayed incorrectly. If
this occurs, please perform the follow-
ing procedures:
– Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while the engine is running. – Drive the vehicle on a straight road
for more than 5 minutes.
● When the steering wheel is turned with
the ignition switch in the ACC position,
the predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.
● The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a level
paved surface. The distance viewed on
the monitor is for reference only and
may be different than the actual dis-
tance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
● When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are fur-
ther than they appear. When backing up
the vehicle down a hill, objects viewed
in the monitor are closer than they ap-
pear. Use the inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder to properly judge
distances to other objects.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.

Difference between predictive and
actual distances
Backing up on a steep uphill:
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide line she be used as a reference only when
the vehicle is on a level, paved surface. The
distance viewed on the monitor is for reference
only and may be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed objects.
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-
tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft. (1m)tothe
A, but the actual 3 ft. (1 m ) distance on the hill
is the place
B. Note that any object on the hill is
viewed in the monitor further than it appears.

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION
(MOD) (if so equipped)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of moving objects behind the
vehicle when backing out of garages, maneuver-
ing in parking lots and in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the image
shown in the display.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position
and the vehicle speed is approximately 5 MPH
(8 km/h) or less, the MOD system detects moving
objects in the rearview or rear-wide view. The
MOD system will not operate if the trunk is open.
