REAR-VIEW MONITOR SETTING
For details, see the separately provided NISSAN
Connect Owner’s Manual.
OPERATING TIPS
When the gear (MT) or selector (AT or CVT)
lever is shifted to R (Reverse), the NISSAN Con-
nect display automatically changes to the rear-
view monitor mode.
When the gear (MT) or selector (AT or CVT)
lever is returned to a position other than R (Re- verse), it may take some time until the screen
changes. Objects on the screen may be dis-
torted until they are completely displayed.
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 camera
lens, 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 colours of objects on the rear-view 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.
If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the transparent
camera cover, the rear-view monitor may not
clearly display objects. Clean the transparent
camera cover.
Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean
the transparent camera cover. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the transparent camera
cover, wipe with a cloth dampened with diluted
mild cleaning agent and then wipe with a dry
cloth.
Do not damage the transparent camera cover as
the NISSAN Connect display may be adversely
affected.
Do not use body wax on the transparent camera
cover. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

button
When you push the button or shift the
gear selector lever into the R (Reverse) position
while the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Around View Monitor operates. The monitor displays
various views of the position of the vehicle. NOTE
At first operation, the corner lines are blinking
yellow for about 3 seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion but a reminder to be cautious.
Available views:
Bird’s-eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
Front-side View
The view around and ahead of the front passen-
ger’s side wheel.
Front view
The view to the front of the vehicle.
Rear view
The view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel parking.
WARNING
The Around View Monitor is intended for day
time use. Do not use the system in bad light
conditions.
The Around View Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper vehicle
operation because it has areas where objects
cannot be viewed. Always visually check to be
sure that it is safe to move before operating
the vehicle. Always operate the vehicle slowly.

Indicate the vehicle width when reversing.
Predictive course lines
j6:
Indicate the predictive course when operating the
vehicle. The predictive course lines will be displayed
on the monitor when the steering wheel is turned.
The predictive 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 neu-
tral position.
The front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above 10 km/h (6 MPH).
WARNING
The distance between objects viewed in the
rear view differs from actual distance because
a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the rear
view will appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors.
On a snow-covered or slippery road, there
may be a difference between the predictive
course line and the actual course line.
If the battery is disconnected or becomes dis-
charged, the predictive course lines may be
displayed incorrectly. If this occurs visit a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If predictive course lines are displayed incor-
rectly visit a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop.
The displayed lines on the rear view will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the rear
view camera is not installed in the rear centre
of the vehicle.
NOTE
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, both the right and left
predictive course lines
j6 are displayed. When
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of the
vehicle which helps to confirm the vehicle position.
The vehicle icon
j1 shows the position of the ve-
hicle.
NOTE
The size of the vehicle icon on the bird’s-eye
view may differ somewhat from the actual ve-
hicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover are indi-
cated in black.
At first operation, the corner lines
j2 on all four cor-
ners of the vehicle icon are blinking yellow for about
3 seconds. The four corners
j3 of the vehicle are
displayed in red.
NOTE
Corner lines
j2 blink (yellow) on all four corners
of the vehicle icon as a reminder to be cautious.
This is not a malfunction.
WARNING
Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because the
bird’s-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the front and the
rear of the vehicle.NAA1236

the screen may not display objects clearly. This
is not a malfunction.
When strong light directly shines on the camera,
objects may not be displayed clearly. This is not
a malfunction.
Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen due to light reflections. This is not a mal-
function.
The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
This is not a malfunction.
The colours of objects on the Around View Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the actual
object.
