HOW TO USE DISC·AUX BUTTON
Images being played can be switched to the
center display if NTSC compatible devices are
connected to the auxiliary input jacks in the
center console. (See “AUXILIARY INPUT JACKS”
later in this section.) Push the DISC·AUX (with
navigation system) or AUX (without navigation
system) button to perform switching.
The above display will appear when the “Menu”
key is selected using the INFINITI controller.
How to use disc button (for models
without navigation system)
Push the DISC button to play a Compact Disc
(CD). See “AUDIO SYSTEM” later in this section.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 rearview 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 like
ones viewed in the inside and outside
mirrors.
● Make sure that the back door is securely
closed when backing up.
● Underneath the bumper and the corner areas
of the bumper cannot be viewed on the rear-
view 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 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.
