(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
distance viewed on the monitor may
be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.
• 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 oc-
cupants, cargo, fuel level, vehicle po-
sition, road condition 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 fur-
ther than they appear. When driving
the vehicle 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 monitor and outside
mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other
objects.
• 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 center of the vehicle.
Front and rear view
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
vehicle width and distance to objects with
reference to the vehicle body line
OAare
displayed on the monitor.

The non-viewable areaO2is highlighted in
yellow for several seconds af ter the bird’s-
eye view is displayed. It will be shown only
the first time af ter the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
In addition, the non-viewable corners are
displayed in red and blink for the first 3
seconds
O3to remind the driver to be cau-
tious.
Predicted course lines
O4(if so equipped)
indicate the predicted course when oper-
ating the vehicle. The predicted course
lines will be displayed on the monitor when
the steering wheel is turned. The predicted course lines will move depending on how
much the steering wheel is turned and will
not be displayed while the steering wheel is
in the neutral position.
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or less from the neutral position, the
two green predicted course lines are
shown in front of the vehicle.
When the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or more, one green predicted
course line is shown in front of the vehicle
and the other predicted course line is
shown at the side of the vehicle.
When the monitor displays the rear view,
the predicted course lines are shown at the
back of the vehicle.
WARNING
• Objects in the bird's-eye view will ap-
pear further than the actual distance.
• Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed
at the seam of the views.
• Objects that are above the camera
cannot be displayed. •
The view of the bird's-eye view may
be misaligned when the camera po-
sition alters.
• A line on the ground may be mis-
aligned 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.

•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 moni-
tor.
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 environ-
ment.
• 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.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle
in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
• Do not use the MOD system when
towing a trailer. The system may not
function properly.
• Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle win-
dow) 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 be-
tween background and the mov-
ing objects.
– When there is a blinking source of
light.
– When strong light such as another
vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is
present. –
When camera orientation is not in
its usual position, such as when a
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.
• The MOD system might detect flow-
ing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc.
• The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, di-
rection, distance or shape of the
moving objects.
• If your vehicle sustains damage to
the parts where the camera is in-
stalled, leaving it misaligned or bent,
the sensing zone may be altered and
the MOD system may not detect ob-
jects properly.
• When the temperature is extremely
high or low, the screen may not dis-
play objects clearly. This is not a
malfunction.
NOTE:
The blue MOD icon will change to orange
if one of the following has occurred:
• When the system is malfunctioning.
• When the component temperature reaches a high level (icon will blink).
• When the RearView camera has detected a blockage (icon will blink).
If the icon light continues to illuminate
orange, have the MOD system checked. It
is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.

Operating tips
• Keep the windows closed while the airconditioner is in operation. • Af ter parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3
minutes with the windows open to vent
hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This al-
lows the air conditioner to cool the inte-
rior more quickly.
• The air conditioning system should be operated for approximately 10 minutes at
least once a month. This helps prevent
damage to the system due to lack of lu-
brication.
• A 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.
• If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature
over the normal range, turn the air condi-
tioner off. For additional information, refer
to “If your vehicle overheats” in the “In case
of emergency” section of this manual.
• When Remote Engine Start (if so equipped) is activated, the manual cli-
mate control system will default to the
last used heating or cooling mode.

RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position and press the PUSHbutton to
turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio
with the engine not running, the ignition
switch should be placed in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio transmit-
ter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes
in reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However, there are some general charac-
teristics of both FM and AM radio signals
that can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system. Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and inter-
ference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 –
30 mi (40 – 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range
than stereo FM. External influences may
sometimes interfere with FM station re-
ception even if the FM station is within 25
mi (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is
directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals fol-
low a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of
the same characteristics as light. For ex-
ample, they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drif t: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drif t.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position (usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter), static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by adjusting the treble
control to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.AM RADIO RECEPTION
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics,
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur
for several seconds during ionospheric tur-
bulence even in areas where no obstacles
exist.
AUDIO SYSTEM
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-45

Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
MP3 or WMA terms
• MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving PicturesExperts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital au-
dio file format. This format allows for near
“CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the
size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion
of an audio track from CD-ROM can re-
duce the file size by approximately a 10:1
ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in
quality. MP3 compression removes the
redundant and irrelevant parts of a
sound signal that the human ear doesn’t
hear.
• WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a compressed audio format created by Mi-
crosof t as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression
than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of
more digital audio tracks in the same
amount of space when compared to
MP3s at the same level of quality. • Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital music
file. The size and quality of a compressed
digital audio file is determined by the bit
rate used when encoding the file.
• Sampling frequency — Sampling fre- quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
• Multisession — Multisession is one of the methods for writing data to media. Writ-
ing data once to the media is called a
single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.
• ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that
contains information about the digital
music file such as song title, artist, encod-
ing bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3
tag information is displayed on the Artist/
song title line on the display.
