4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make thevehicle width guide lines
sDparallel to
the parking space
sCwhile referring to
the predicted course lines.
5. When the vehicle is parked in the space completely, move the selector lever to the
P (Park) position and apply the parking
brake.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED AND
ACTUAL DISTANCES
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 dis-
played objects.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. For example, the display shows 3 ft
(1.0 m) to the place
sA, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on the hill is the place
sB. Note
that any object on the hill is viewed in the
monitor further than it appears.

HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness, Tint,
Color, Contrast and Black Level of the RearView
Monitor, push the SETTINGbutton with the
RearView Monitor on, select the item key and
adjust the level using the INFINITI controller.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color, Con-
trast and Black Level of the RearView Monitor
while the vehicle is moving. Make sure the
parking brake is firmly applied and the engine
is not running.
OPERATING TIPS
c When the selector lever is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView Monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.
c 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. c
When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display
objects. This is not a malfunction.
c When strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
This is not a malfunction.
c 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.
c The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
c The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual object.
c Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
c If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the RearView Monitor may not clearly dis-
play objects. Clean the camera.
c 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.
c Do not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.

SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE
Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of
dialect users to train the system to improve
recognition accuracy. By repeating a number of
commands, the users can create a voice model
of their own voice that is stored in the system.
The system is capable of storing a different
speaker adaptation model for memory A and
memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will use
memory A to store the model. If memory A is in
use and memory B is available, the system will
use memory B to store the model. If both of the
memory locations are in use, the system will
ask the user to select which memory location
should be overwritten.
Training procedure
The procedure for training a voice is as follows.
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quietoutdoor location.
2. Sit in the driver's seat with the engine running, the parking brake on, and the
transmission in Park.
3. Press and hold the
button for more
than 5 seconds. 4. The system announces: ªPress the PHONE
SEND (
) button for the hands-free
phone system to enter the speaker adap-
tation mode.º
5. Press the
button.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is selected automatically. If both memory locations
are already in use, the system will prompt
you to overwrite one. Follow the instruc-
tions provided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are ready to begin, the press the
but-
ton.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow the instructions provided by the system.
9. When training is finished, the system will tell you an adequate number of phrases
have been recorded.
10. The system will ask you to say your name. Follow the instructions to register
your name.
11. The system will announce that speaker adaptation has been completed and the
system is ready.
The SA mode will stop if:
cThe
button is pressed for more than 5
seconds in SA mode.
c The vehicle is driven during SA mode.
c The ignition switch is pushed to the LOCK
position.
Training phrases
During the SA mode, the system instructs you to
