3-38Pre-driving checks and adjustments
.The color of an object in the distance
or in the dark may be difficult to be
recognized. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
System maintenance (Intelligent Rear
View Mirror):
. Always keep the mirror and camera
area of the rear window clean.
. Clean the mirror and the camera lens
with a dry soft cloth.
. When clean the camera area of the
rear window, using a soft cloth dam-
pend with water and a few neutral
detergent. And after, the dry it up with
dry soft cloth.
. If the image on the Intelligent Rear
View Mirror display screen is still un-
clear even after cleaning the camera
area of the rear window, an oil film
may be adhering to the rear window
glass. Clean the rear window glass
with an oil film remover.
. Never use alcohol, benzine, thinner, or
any similar material to clean the
mirror or camera lens. It will cause a
discoloration, deterioration or a sys-
tem malfunction.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) on the camera
area of the rear window.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
.Objects viewed in the outside
mirror on the passenger side are
closer than they appear. Be care-
ful when moving to the right.
Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder to
properly judge distances to other
objects.
. Do not adjust the mirrors while
driving. You could lose control of
your vehicle and cause an acci-
dent.
SPA2739

located on the driver’s door armrest.
The outside mirror will operate only when
the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON
position.
Move the switch right or left to select the
right or left side mirror
, then adjust
using the control switch.

. 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 water con-
densation on the lens, a malfunc-
tion, fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a
precision instrument. Otherwise,
it may malfunction or cause da-
mage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.
The following are operating limitations
and do not represent a system malfunc-
tion:
. When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects.
. When strong light directly shines on
the camera, objects may not be dis-
played clearly.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects
on the screen. This is due to strong
reflected light from the bumper.
. The screen may flicker under fluores-
cent light.
. The colors of objects on the RearView
Monitor may differ somewhat from
the actual color of objects. .
Objects on the monitor may not be
clear in a dark environment.
. There may be a delay when switching
between views.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on
the camera, the RearView Monitor
may not display objects clearly. Clean
the camera.
. Do not use wax on the camera lens.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth
dampened with a diluted mild clean-
ing agent, then wipe with a dry cloth.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
.Do not use alcohol, benzine or
thinner to clean the camera. This
will cause discoloration.
. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera
, RearView Monitor may not
display objects clearly. Clean the camera
by wiping it with a cloth dampened with a
Monitor, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-9

When the “” icon is displayed on the
screen, the camera image may be receiv-
ing temporary electronic disturbances
from surrounding devices. This will not
hinder normal driving operation but the
system should be inspected. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the sonar function. Failure
to operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may
affect the function of the system,
including reduced performance
or a false activation.
. The system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or
moving objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and
may not detect objects close to
the bumper or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the
following objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow,
cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain. — Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage
to the bumper fascia, leaving it
misaligned or bent, the sensing
zone may be altered causing in-
accurate measurement of objects
or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio sys-
tem volume or an open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the tone and
it may not be heard.
See “Front and rear sonar system” (P.5-
135) for more information on the sonar
system and limitations.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Parking sonar settings menu (the setting
items are grayed out), the sonar system
may be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar (lo-
cated on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of
snow, ice and dirt. Do not scratch the
surface of the sonar when cleaning.
If the sensors are covered, the accu-
racy of the sonar function will be
diminished.

.The MOD system might detect
flowing water droplets on the
camera lens, white smoke from
the muffler, moving shadows, etc.
. The MOD system may not func-
tion properly depending on the
speed, direction, 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 sensing zone may be
altered and the MOD system may
not detect objects properly.
. When the temperature is extre-
mely high or low, the screen may
not display objects clearly. This is
not a malfunction.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
.Do not use alcohol, benzine or
thinner to clean the camera. This
will cause discoloration.
. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of
the cameras
, the MOD system may not
operate properly. Clean the camera by
wiping with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild cleaning agent and then
wiping with a dry cloth.

OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature
and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may not
operate. However, this is not a malfunc-
tion. After the coolant temperature
warms up, the air flow from the foot
outlets will operate normally.
The sensors
andlocated on the
instrument panel help maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around the sensors.
LINKING INTELLIGENT KEY (if so
equipped)
The air conditioner system settings can
be memorized for each Intelligent Key.
For more details, see “Setting memory
function” (P.3-42).
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
The air conditioner system is equipped
with an in-cabin microfilter which collects
dirt, pollen, dust, etc.
To make sure the air conditioner heats,
defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace
the filter in accordance with the specified
maintenance intervals listed in the “9.
Maintenance and schedules” section. It is
recommended to see a NISSAN dealer to
replace the filter.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow decreases significantly or if win-
dows fog up easily when operating the
heater or air conditioner.
SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.
This re-
frigerant will not harm the earth’s
ozone layer. However, special charging
equipment and lubricant are required
when servicing your NISSAN air condi-
tioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. (See “Capa-
cities and recommended fluids/lubri-
cants” (P.10-2) for air conditioner system
refrigerant and lubricant recommenda-
tions.)
Your NISSAN dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioner system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant un-
der high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with the proper
equipment.
WINDOW ANTENNA
The antenna pattern is printed inside the
rear side glass.
CAUTION
. Do not place metalized film near
the 3rd row seat window or at-
tach any metal parts to it. This
may cause poor reception or
noise.
. When cleaning the inside of the
rear side window, be careful not
to scratch or damage the rear
side window antenna. Lightly
wipe along the antenna with a
dampened soft cloth.
