REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for RearView Monitor. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death. • The system cannot completely elimi-
nate blind spots and may not show
every object.
• Underneath the bumper and the corner areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of
its monitoring range limitation. The
system will not show small objects be-
low the bumper, and may not show
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
• Objects viewed in the RearView Moni- tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used.
• Objects in the RearView Monitor will appear visually opposite compared to
when viewed in the rearview and out-
side mirrors.
• Use the displayed lines as a reference. The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, ve-
hicle position, road conditions and
road grade.
• Make sure that the liftgate is securely closed when backing up.
• Do not put anything on the rearview camera. The rearview camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Around
View® Monitor system could result in
serious injury or death.
• The Around View® Monitor is a conve- nience feature and is not a substitute
for proper vehicle operation because it
has areas where objects cannot be
viewed. The four corners of the vehicle
in particular, are areas where objects
do not always appear in the bird’s-eye,
front, or rear views. Always check your
surroundings to be sure that it is safe
to move before operating the vehicle.
Always operate the vehicle slowly.
• The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other ma-
neuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera. The Around View® Monitor system is designed
as an aid to the driver in situations such as slot
parking or parallel parking. The monitor displays
various views of the position of the vehicle in a
split screen format. Not all views are available at
all times.
Available views:
• Front View
An approximately 150–degree view of the
front of the vehicle.
• Rear View An approximately 150–degree view of the rear
of the vehicle.
• Bird’s-Eye View The surrounding views of the vehicle from
above.
• Front-Side View The view around and ahead of the front pas-
senger’s side wheel. To display the multiple views, the Around View®
Monitor system uses cameras located in the front
grille, on the vehicle’s outside mirrors and one
just above the vehicle’s license plates

AROUND VIEW® MONITOR
SYSTEM OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ON position, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position or press
the CAMERA button to operate the Around
View® Monitor. The screen displayed on the
Around View® Monitor will automatically return
to the previous screen 3 minutes after the CAM-
ERA button has been pressed with the shift lever
in a position other than the R (Reverse) position.

Available views
WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the ve- hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
paved, level surface. The apparent dis-
tance viewed on the monitor may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed ob-
jects.
• Use the displayed lines and the bird’s eye view as a reference. The lines and
the bird’s-eye view are greatly affected
by the number of occupants, cargo,
fuel level, vehicle position, road condi-
tion and road grade.
• If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predicted course lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.
• When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob- jects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear. • Objects in the rear view will appear
visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to properly judge distances to other ob-
jects.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course line.
• The vehicle width and predicted course lines are wider than the actual width
and course.
• The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear cen-
ter of the vehicle.

(AUTOMATIC)
4-22Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems

To turn the system off
To turn off the climate control, press the Climate
control system OFF button. The same operating
mode (Heater or A/C) that was active when the
system is turned off is active when system is
turned back on.
Climate Ctrl. Timer
While the charger is connected to the vehicle,
this function pre-heats or pre-cools the passen-
ger compartment of the vehicle to the tempera-
ture set by default before driving. This helps
reduce power consumption from the Li-ion bat-
tery.
As the temperature is set to the factory default
setting, the user cannot adjust the temperature.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-
tioner using power from the charger. Electric
power from the Li-ion battery is not used.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it automati-
cally starts so the vehicle compartment will be
cooled/heated to the temperature set by default
by the registered departure time. It is therefore
not necessary to set the Climate Ctrl. Timer ev-
eryday.
WARNING
Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment may become high or low if the sys-
tem automatically stops. Do not leave
children or adults who would normally
require the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to people
or animals. Also on cold days, tempera-
ture in a vehicle could become low
enough to cause severe or possible fatal
injuries to people or animals. 1. Push the
switchAon the left side of
the combination meter panel.
2. Push the
switchBuntil “Climate Ctrl.
Timer” is highlighted on the vehicle informa-
tion display and then push the
switch

Remote climate control
This vehicle incorporates a communication de-
vice that is called a TCU (Telematics Communi-
cation Unit) . The communication connection be-
tween this unit and Nissan Data Center allows for
various remote function services.
Even when away from the vehicle, climate control
can be started by accessing the Nissan Data
Center website using a cellular phone or a per-
sonal computer.
When operation is started, or at the set start time,
the Nissan Data Center accesses the vehicle.
When the vehicle receives a command for re-
mote operation, the climate control immediately
turns ON and operates for the specified period of
time. Confirmation of the ON/OFF of the climate
control operation can be checked by accessing
the website or by e-mail.
Completing registration for the NissanCon-
nect
SMMobile Apps service is necessary before
using the service. For additional information, refer
to the separate Navigation Owner’s Manual.

room may become high if the system
automatically stops. Do not leave chil-
dren or adults who would normally re-
quire the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
