WARNING

The rear view camera is a conve-
nience but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn and
check that it is safe to do so before
backing up. Always back up slowly.

Objects viewed in the rear view moni-
tor differ from actual distance be-
cause a wide-angle lens is used. Ob-
jects in the rear view monitor will
appear visually opposite like ones
viewed in the inside and outside mir-
rors.

Make sure that the lift gate is se-
curely closed when backing up.

stalled above the license plate.

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

cision instrument. Otherwise, it may
malfunction or cause damage result-
ing in a fire or an electric shock.

changes. Objects on the screen may be
distorted until they are completely displayed.

When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.

When strong light directly enters the camera,
objects may not be displayed clearly.

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 rear view monitor
may differ somewhat from those of the actual
object.

When the contrast of objects is low at night,
pushing the “ENTER” button may not change
the brightness.

Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night.

If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the rear view monitor may not clearly display
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 clothdampened 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 body wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

The sensor on the instrument panel helps main-
tain a constant temperature; do not put anything
on or around this sensor.IN-CABIN MICROFILTERThe air conditioning 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 according to the specified maintenance
intervals listed in your Service and Maintenance
Guide. To replace the filter, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The filter should be replaced if the air flowdecreases significantly or if windows fog
up easily when operating the heater or air
conditioning system.The air conditioning system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.This refrigerant
will not harm the earth’s ozone layer.How-
ever, special charging equipment and lubricants
are required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri-
cants will cause severe damage to your air
conditioning system. See “Capacities and rec-
ommended fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical
and consumer information” section for air con-
ditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations.
A NISSAN dealer will be able to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper equip-
ment.
