HOW TO READ THE DISPLAYED
LINES
WARNING
•Use the displayed lines as a reference. The
lines are highly affected by the number of oc-
cupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road con-
dition and road grade. Always check with your
eyes directly around the vehicle while revers-
ing.
•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 refer-
ence only and may be different than the ac-
tual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
•When reversing the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are further than they
appear. When reversing the vehicle down a
hill, objects viewed in the monitor are closerthan they appear. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly judge
distances to other objects.
The lines which are displayed on the monitor, indi-
cate the vehicle’s clearance and distance between
the obstacle and the bumper
jA.
Displayed lines indicate the distances between the
obstacle and the bumper as follows:
j1 0.5 m (1.5 ft) – red
j2 1 m (3 ft) – yellow
j3 2 m (7 ft) – green
j4 3 m (10 ft) – green
NOTE
•The vehicle clearance lines are wider than the
actual clearance.
•The lines are indicated as reference distances
to the obstacle.
REAR-VIEW MONITOR SETTING
For details, see the separately provided NissanCon-
nect Owner’s Manual.
OPERATING TIPS
•When the shift lever is shifted to R (Reverse), the
NissanConnect display automatically changes to
the rear-view monitor mode.
•When the shift lever is returned to a position
other than R (Reverse), it may take some timeuntil the screen changes. Objects on the screen
may be distorted until they are completely dis-
played.
•When the temperature is extremely high or low,
the screen may not clearly display objects. This
is not a malfunction.
•When strong light directly enters the camera
lens, objects may not be displayed clearly. This
is not a malfunction.
•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 colours of objects on the rear-view monitor
may differ somewhat from those of the actual
object.
•Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night.
•If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the transparent
camera cover, the rear-view monitor may not
clearly display objects. Clean the transparent
camera cover.
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean
the transparent camera cover. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the transparent camera
cover, wipe with a cloth dampened with diluted
mild cleaning agent and then wipe with a dry
cloth.

At first operation, the corner lines are blinking
yellow for about 3 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion but a reminder to be cautious.
Available views:
•Bird’s-eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
•Front-side View
The view around and ahead of the front passen-
ger’s side wheel.
•Front view
The view to the front of the vehicle.

The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel parking.
There are some areas where the system will not
show objects. When in the front or the rear view dis-
play, an object below the bumper or on the ground
may not be viewed
j1 . When in the bird-eye view,
a tall object near the seamj3 of the camera view-
ing areas will not appear in the monitorj2.
WARNING
•The Around View Monitor is intended for day
time use. Do not use the system in bad light
conditions.
•The Around View Monitor is a convenience
feature. It is not a substitute for proper ve-
hicle operation because it has areas where
objects cannot be viewed. The four corners of
the vehicle in particular, are blind spots where
objects do not appear in the bird’s-eye, front
or rear views. Always look out the windows
and check to be sure that it is safe to move.
The driver is always responsible for safety dur-
ing parking and other manoeuvres.
•Do not use the Around View Monitor with the
outside mirror in the stored position, and
make sure that the back door is securely
closed when operating the vehicle using the
Around View Monitor.
•The distance between objects viewed on the
Around View Monitor differs from the actual
distance.
•The cameras are installed on the front grille,
the outside mirrors and above the rear num-
ber plate. Do not put anything on the cam-
eras.
•When washing the vehicle with high-pressure
water, be sure not to spray it around the cam-
eras. Otherwise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on the lens,
a malfunction, fire or an electric shock.

Guiding lines
Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width and
distances to objects with reference to the vehicle
body line
jA , are displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
•Red linej1 : approx. 0.5 m (1.5 ft)
•Yellow linej2 : approx.1m(3ft)
•Green linej3 : approx.2m(7ft)
•Green linej4 : approx. 3 m (10 ft)
Vehicle width guide lines and static predictive
course lines
j5:
Indicate the vehicle width when reversing.
Dynamic predictive course lines
j6:
The dynamic predictive course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the steering wheel is
turned. The course lines will move depending onhow much the steering wheel is turned and will not
be displayed while the steering wheel is in the
straight ahead position.
The front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above approximately 30 km/h (20 MPH).
WARNING
•Objects in the monitor will appear visually op-
posite than when viewed in the rear view and
outside mirrors.
•On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predictive
course line and the actual course line.
•The displayed lines on the rear view will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the rear
view camera is not installed in the rear centre
of the vehicle.
NOTE
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, both the right and left
predictive course lines
j6 are displayed. When
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird-eye view
WARNING
•Objects in the bird-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because thebird-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the front and the
rear of the vehicle.
•Tall objects, such as a kerb or a vehicle, may
be misaligned or not displayed at the seam of
the views.
•Objects that are above the camera cannot be
displayed.
•The view for the bird-eye view may be mis-
aligned when the camera position alters.
•A line on the ground may be misaligned and is
not seen as being straight at the seam of the
views. The misalignment will increase as the
line proceeds away from the vehicle.
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view of the
vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle position and
the predicted course to a parking space.

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (MOD)
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of the moving objects surrounding
the vehicle.
The MOD system detects moving objects by using
image processing technology on the image shown
on the Around View Monitor display.
The MOD system operates in the following condi-
tions when the camera view is displayed:
•When the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) position
(XTRONIC and MT models) or P (Park) position
(XTRONIC models) and the vehicle is stopped,
the MOD system detects the moving objects in
the bird-eye view.
•When the shift lever is in the any position other
than R (Reverse) position and the vehicle speed
is above 0 km/h and below approximately 8 km/h
(5 MPH), the MOD system detects moving ob-
jects in the front view.
•When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) posi-
tion and the vehicle speed is below approximately
8 km/h (5 MPH), the MOD system detects mov-
ing objects in the rear view. The MOD system
will not operate correctly if the back door is open.
The MOD icon will change to blue to show which
view is currently active.
The MOD system does not detect moving objects in
the front-side view. The MOD icon is not displayed
on the screen when in this view.
WARNING
•The MOD system is not a substitute for proper
vehicle operation and is not designed to pre-
vent contact with the objects surrounding the
vehicle. When manoeuvring, always use the
outside mirror and rear view mirror and turn
and check the surroundings to ensure it is
safe to manoeuvre.
•The MOD system does not have the function
to detect the surrounding stationary objects.
*: For the Right-Hand Drive (RHD) model, the screen
layout will be opposite.
When the MOD system detects a moving object
surrounding the vehicle, the yellow frame will be dis-
played on the view where the objects are detected
and a chime will sound once. While the MOD sys-
tem continues to detect moving objects, the yellow
frame continues to be displayed.The yellow frame
j2 is displayed on each view in
the front view, front-wide view, rear view and rear-
wide view modes.
A blue MOD icon is displayed in the view where the
MOD system is operative. A grey MOD icon is dis-
played in the view where the MOD system is not
operative.
WARNING
•Do not use the MOD system when towing a
trailer (if available). The system may not func-
tion properly.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume or open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
•The MOD system performance will be limited
according to environmental conditions and
surrounding objects such as:
– When there is low contrast between back-
ground and the moving objects.
– When there is blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehi-
cle’s headlight or sunlight is present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual
position, such as when mirror is folded.
– When there is dirt, water drops or snow on
the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects in
the display is not changed.
