Display Mode

Choose the display mode from the following:
● Normal
● Wide
● Cinema

When the selector lever is shifted into the R

(Reverse) position, the monitor display 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 de-

tect small objects below the bumper and may

not detect objects close to the bumper or on the

ground.

WARNING

● The rear view camera is a convenience but it

is not a substitute for proper backing up.

Always turn and check that it is safe to do so

before backing up. Always back up slowly.

● Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor dif-

fer from actual distance because a wide-

angle lens is used. Objects in the RearView

Monitor will appear visually opposite than

when viewed in the rear view and outside

mirrors.

● Make sure that the trunk is securely closed

when backing up.

● Do not put anything on the rear view camera.

The rear view camera is installed on the

trunk finisher or on the rear spoiler.

● 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 conden-

sation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or an

electric shock.

● Do not strike the camera. It is a precision

instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunction

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.

monitor.

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED

COURSE LINES

WARNING

● Always turn and check that it is safe to do so

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 be dis-

played incorrectly.

● 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 becomes

discharged, the predicted course lines may

be displayed incorrectly. If this occurs,

please perform the following procedures:

– Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock

while the engine is running.

– Drive the vehicle on a straight road for

more than 5 minutes.

● When the steering wheel is turned with the

ignition switch in the ACC position, the pre-

dicted course lines may be displayed

incorrectly.

● 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

reference only and may be different than the

actual distance between the vehicle and dis-

played objects.

● When backing-up the vehicle up a hill ob-

jects 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 mir-

ror 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.

OPERATING TIPS

● When the selector lever is shifted to R, the

monitor screen automatically changes to the

RearView Monitor mode. However, the radio

can be heard.

● It may take some time until the RearView

Monitor or the normal screen is displayed

after the selector lever has been shifted to R

from another position or to another position

from R. Objects may be distorted momen-

tarily 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 malfunction.

● When strong light directly enters the cam-

era, 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 colors of objects on the RearView Moni-

tor 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 malfunc-

tion.

● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,

the RearView Monitor may not clearly dis-

play objects. Clean the camera.

● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to

clean the camera. This will cause discolora-

tion. 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 affected.

● Do not use wax on the camera window. Wipe

off any wax with a clean cloth dampened

with mild detergent diluted with water.

IN-CABIN MICROFILTER

The climate control system is equipped with an

in-cabin microfilter which collects dirt, pollen,

dust, etc. To make sure the air conditioner

heats, defogs, and ventilates efficiently, replace

the filter in accordance with the maintenance

schedule in the INFINITI Service and Mainte-

nance Guide. To replace the filter, contact an

INFINITI dealer.

The filter should be replaced if air flow is ex-

tremely decreased or when windows fog up eas-

ily when operating heater or air conditioning

system.

SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL

The climate control system in your INFINITI is

charged with a refrigerant designed with the

environment in mind.

This refrigerant will not

harm the earth’s ozone layer. However, special

charging equipment and lubricant are required

when servicing your INFINITI air conditioner.

Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will

cause severe damage to your climate control

system. (See “CAPACITIES AND RECOMMENDED

FUEL/LUBRICANTS” in the “9. Technical and

consumer information” section for climate con-

trol system refrigerant and lubricant recommen-

dations.)
Your INFINITI dealer will be able to service your

environmentally friendly climate control sys-

tem.

WARNING

The system contains refrigerant under high

pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air con-

ditioner service should be done only by an ex-

perienced

technician

with

the

proper

equipment.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

Radio

Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON

position and push the “

RADIO ” button to turn

on the radio. If you listen to the radio with the

engine not running, the ignition switch should

be pushed to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal

strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-

ings, 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 vehicle may

influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with

state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance

radio reception. These circuits are designed to

extend reception range, and to enhance the

quality of that reception.

However there are some general characteristics

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 mal-

function in your INFINITI radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change

because of vehicle movement. Buildings, ter-

rain, signal distance and interference from

other vehicles can work against ideal reception.

Described below are some of the factors that

can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones and 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 to 30

miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single

channel) FM having slightly more range than

stereo FM. External influences may sometimes

interfere with FM station reception even if the

FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The

strength of the FM signal is directly related to

the distance between the transmitter and re-

ceiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path,

exhibiting many of the same characteristics as

light. For example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from

a station transmitter, the signals will tend to

fade and/or drift.

07/14/07—pattie

X

Static and flutter: During signal interference

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

lowering the treble setting to reduce the treble

response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective

characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-

flected signals reach the receiver at the same

time. The signals may cancel each other, result-

ing 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 sub-

ject to interference as they travel from transmit-

ter 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 turbulence even in

areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

power lines, electric signs and even traffic

lights.

Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is first installed or the

battery has been replaced, the satellite radio

may not work properly. This is not a malfunc-

tion. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite

radio ON for satellite radio to receive all of the

necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active XM

T

satellite radio service subscription. Satellite

radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and

Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if

cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite

radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite

antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna

can affect satellite radio performance. Remove

the ice to restore satellite radio reception.

Compact Disc (CD) player

● Do not force a compact disc into the CD insert

slot. This could damage the CD and/or CD

changer/player.
