When the selector/shift lever is shifted into

play shows 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

.

The rearview monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
vehicle operation because it has areas
where objects cannot be viewed. Always
look out the windows and check mirrors
to be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle slowly.

.

Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor
differ from actual distance because a
wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the
RearView Monitor will appear visually
opposite like ones viewed in the inside
and outside mirrors.

.

Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.

.

Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the rearview monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation.

.

Do not put anything on the rearview
camera. The rearview camera is installed
above the license plate.

.

When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the camera. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing water
condensation on the lens, a malfunction,
fire or an electric shock.

.

Do not strike the camera. It is a precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion or cause damage resulting in a fire
or an electric shock.

CAUTION

There is a plastic cover over the camera. Do
not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or
snow from the cover.

:

Indicate the predicted course when back-
ing up. The predicted course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the selec-
tor/shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position
and the steering wheel is turned. The
predicted course lines will move depend-
ing on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES

WARNING

.

Always turn and check that it is safe to
park your car before backing up. Always
back up slowly.

.

Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road grade.

.

If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course line
may not be displayed correctly.

.

On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.

.

If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted course
lines may be displayed incorrectly. If this
occurs, drive the vehicle on a straight
road for more than 5 minutes.

.

The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.

.

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 ob-
jects.

.

When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When backing up the
vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear. 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

HOW TO ADJUST SCREEN

To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness,
Tint, Color, Contrast and Black Level of the

“Display” key on the screen and select the
item key and adjust the level using the
INFINITI controller.

Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color,
Contrast and Black Level of the rearview

and the engine is not running.

OPERATING TIPS

. When the selector/shift lever is shifted

to the R (Reverse) position, the monitor
screen automatically changes to the
rearview monitor mode.

. It may take some time until the rearview

monitor is displayed after the selector/
shift lever has been shifted to R from
another position or to another position
from R. Objects may be distorted
momentarily until the rearview monitor
screen is displayed completely.

. When the temperature is extremely high

or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects. This is not a malfunc-
tion.

. When strong light directly enters the

camera, 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 fluores-

cent light. This is not a malfunction.

. The colors of objects on the rearview

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. This is not a
malfunction.

. If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the

camera, the rearview monitor may not
clearly display objects. Clean the cam-
era.

. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner

to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with
diluted mild cleaning agent and then
wipe with a dry cloth.

. Do not damage the camera as the

monitor screen may be adversely af-
fected.

. Do not use wax on the camera window.

Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth
dampened with mild detergent diluted
with water.
