FUNCTION (ifequipped)
GUID-6CAFFD 96-0FA6-42CB-8 531-35613FD16A94
The Moving ObjectDetection (MOD)system can
inform thedriver ofmoving objects whendriving outof
garages, maneuvering intoparking lotsand inother
such instances.
The MOD system detects movingobjects byusing
image processing technologyonthe image shown on
the display .The rear view camera isequipped withthe
automatic washerfunction usingwindow washerfluid.
The MOD system operates inthe following conditions
when thecamera viewisdisplayed:
. When theshift lever isin the ªPº (Park) orªNº
(Neutral) position(CVTmodel) orthe shift lever is
out ofthe ªRº (Reverse) position(MTmodel) and
the vehicle isstopped, theMOD system detects
the moving objects inthe bird's-eye view.The MOD
system willnotoperate ifthe outside mirror
is moving inor out orifeither doorisopened.
. When theshift lever isin the ªDº (Drive) position
(CVT model) orthe shift lever isout ofthe ªRº
(Reverse) position(MTmodel) ,and thevehicle
speed isbelow approximately 8km/h (5MPH) ,
the MOD system detects movingobjects inthe
front view.
. When theshift lever isin the ªRº (Reverse)
position andthevehicle speedisbelow approxi-
mately 8km/h (5MPH) ,the MOD system detects
moving objects inthe rear view.The MOD system
will notoperate ifthe back doorisopen.
The MOD system doesnotdetect moving objects in

Utility vehicles haveasignificantly higherroll-
over ratethan other types ofvehicles.
They havehigher ground clearance thanpassenger
cars tomake themcapable ofperforming inawide
variety ofon-pavement andoff-road applications. This
gives themahigher center ofgravity thanordinary cars.
An advantage ofhigher ground clearance isabetter
view ofthe road, allowing youtoanticipate problems.
However, theyarenot designed forcornering atthe
same speeds asconventional passengercarsany
more thanlow-slung sportscarsaredesigned to
perform satisfactorily underoff-road conditions. Ifat all
possible, avoidsharp turnsorabrupt maneuvers,
particularly athigh speeds. Aswith other vehicles of
this type, failure tooperate thisvehicle correctly may
result inloss ofcontrol orvehicle rollover.
CAUTION:
. Donot drive ondry hard surface roadsin
LOCK mode.
. Driving ondry hard surface roadsinLOCK
mode maycause unnecessary noiseandtire
wear. NISSAN recommends drivinginthe
2WD orAUT Omode under theseconditions.
