•Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so
could cause a malfunction or cause
damage resulting in a fire or an elec-
tric shock.
There are some areas where the system
will not show objects and the system does
not warn of moving objects. When in the
front or rear view display, an object below
the bumper or on the ground may not be
viewed
O1. When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall
object near the seam
O2of the camera
viewing areas will not appear in the
monitor.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
• There may be a delay when switching between views.
• When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not display objects
clearly.
• When strong light directly shines on the camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the Intelligent Around View® Monitor may differ some-
what from the actual color of objects. • Objects on the Intelligent Around View®
Monitor may not be clear and the color of
the object may differ in a dark
environment.
• There may be differences in sharpness between each camera view of the bird's-
eye view.
• Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth that has
been dampened with a diluted mild
cleaning agent, then wipe with a dry
cloth.
System temporarily unavailable
When the “!” icon is displayed on the screen,
there are abnormal conditions in the Intel-
ligent Around View® Monitor. 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.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the sonar
function as outlined in this section
could result in serious injury or death.
• The sonar is a convenience feature. It
is not a substitute for proper parking.
• This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle.
• The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
• Always look around and check that it
is safe to move before parking.
• Read and understand the limitations
of the sonar as contained in this
section.
The sonar function helps to inform the
driver of large stationary objects around
the vehicle when parking by issuing an au-
dible and visual alert.
SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Center display
2. MENU button
3. CAMERA button The system gives the tone for rear objects

sensor) (if so equipped)
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-23

The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front and rear
views indicate different distances to the
object.
When the objects are detected, the indica-
tor (green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the rate of the tone increase.
When the vehicle is very close to the object,
the indicator stops blinking and turns red,
and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop af ter 3 sec-
onds when an object is detected by only
the corner sonar and the distance does
not change.
The tone will stop when the object is no
longer near the vehicle.
TURNING ON AND OFF THE SONAR
FUNCTION
When the “Sonar” key is selected, the indi-
cator will turn off and the sonar will be
turned off temporarily. The Moving Object
Detection (MOD) system will also be turnedoff at the same time. For additional infor-
mation, see “Moving Object Detection
(MOD)” (P. 4-26). When the “Sonar” key is se-
lected again, the indicator will turn on and
the sonar will turn back on.
In the below cases, the sonar will be turned
back on automatically:
• When the shif t lever is placed in the “R”
(Reverse) position.
• When the CAMERA button is pressed and a screen other than the camera view is
shown on the display.
• When vehicle speed decreases below ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
• When the ignition switch is placed in the “OFF” position and turned back to the “ON”
position again. To prevent the sonar sys-
tem from activating altogether, use the
“Camera” menu. For additional informa-
tion, see “Sonar function settings” (P. 4-24).

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to oper-
ate 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 af-
fect the function of the system, in-
cluding reduced performance or a
false activation.
• The system is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or moving
objects.
• The system will not detect small ob-
jects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or
on the ground.
• The system may not detect the fol-
lowing objects:
– Fluff y 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 mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of objects or false
alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not
be heard.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Camera setting menu (the setting items
are grayed out), the sonar system may be
malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of
snow, ice and dirt. Do not scratch the
surface of the sonar sensors when
cleaning. If the sensors are covered, the
