display NISSAN MAXIMA 2010 Owner´s Manual

When the shift selector is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display shows the
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 bumper and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
WARNING
cThe rear view camera 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.
cObjects viewed in the RearView Moni-
tor differ from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used.
cMake sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
cUnderneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed
on the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation.
cDo not put anything on the rear view
camera. The rear view camera is in-
stalled above the license plate.cWhen 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.
cDo 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.CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the lens.
HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width
and distances to objects with reference to the
vehicle body line
sAare displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.

Vehicle width guide liness5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
s6:
Indicate the predicted course when backing up.
The predicted course lines will be displayed on
the monitor when the shift selector is in the R
(Reverse) position and the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move de-
pending on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the steer-
ing wheel is in the neutral position.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
cAlways turn and check that it is safe to
do so before backing up. Always back
up slowly.
cUse the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road conditions and road
grade.
cIf the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.cOn a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
cIf the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted
course lines may be displayed incor-
rectly. If this occurs, please perform the
following 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.
cWhen the steering wheel is turned with
the ignition switch in the ACC position,
the predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.
cThe distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a refer-
ence 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.cWhen 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
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide 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 distance
between the vehicle and displayed objects.

Backing up on a steep uphill
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 (1.0 m) to the
place
sA, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance onthe hill is the place
sB. Note that any object on
the hill is viewed in the monitor further than it
appears.
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 further than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the
place
sA, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on

HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness, Tint,
Color, Contrast and Black Level of the RearView
Monitor, push the SETTING button with the
RearView Monitor on and select the “Display”
key. Select one of the items and change the value
by touching the “+” or “-” key or by turning the
NISSAN controller.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color, Con-
trast and Black Level of the RearView Monitor
while the vehicle is moving. Make sure the park-
ing brake is firmly applied and the engine is not
running.
OPERATING TIPS
cWhen the shift selector is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the display screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView Monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.cIt may take some time until the RearView
Monitor or the normal screen is displayed
after the shift selector has been shifted to R
(Reverse) from another position or to an-
other position from R (Reverse) . Objects
may be distorted momentarily until the Rear-
View Monitor screen is displayed com-
pletely.
cWhen the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.
cWhen strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
cVertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
cThe screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
cThe colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual object.
cObjects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a malfunc-
tion.cIf dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView Monitor may not clearly display
objects. Clean the camera.
cDo not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolora-
tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.
cDo not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
cDo not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.cDo not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
cDo not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION

trolled automatically.
cA visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
3. You can individually set driver’s and front

set the desired temperature.cThe temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
cDo not set the temperature lower than the
outside air temperature. Otherwise the sys-
tem may not work properly.
cNot recommended if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging

matically turns off, allowing outside air to be
drawn into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging performance.
