2011 INFINITI EX audio

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 predicted course lines
6are displayed.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees
or more, a line is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird-eye view
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predicted course to a parking
space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the size of the vehicle icon on
the bird-eye view may differ somewhat from the
actual vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
2are
indicated in black.
After pushing the ignition switch, with the
Non-viewable Area Reminder (models with
navigation)/Blind-Area Reminder (models with-
out navigation) turned to ON, the non-viewable area
2is highlighted in yellow for 7 seconds
after the bird-eye view is displayed.
When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
an object, the corner sonar indicator
3ap-
pears.
WARNING
● Objects in the bird-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because the
bird-eye view is a pseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the
cameras on the outside mirrors, the front
and the rear of the vehicle.
● Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle, may
be misaligned or not displayed at the seam
of the views.
● Objects that are above the camera cannot be
displayed.
● The view for the bird-eye view may be mis-
aligned when the camera position alters.
● A line on the ground may be misaligned and
is not seen as being straight at the seam of
the views. The misalignment will increase as
the line proceeds away from the vehicle.

Front-side view
Guiding lines:
Guiding lines that indicate the width and the
front end of the vehicle are displayed on the
monitor.
The front-of-vehicle line
1shows the front part
of the vehicle.
The side-of-vehicle line
2shows the vehicle
width including the outside mirror.
The extensions
3of both the front1and side
2lines are shown with a green dotted line. The corner sonar indicator
4will appear when
a corner of the vehicle moves closer to an
object.
The corner sonar indicator
4can be turned off.
See “AROUND VIEW MONITOR SETTINGS” later
in this section.
CAUTION
The turn signal light may overlap with the side-
of-vehicle line. This is not a malfunction.
Infrared illumination:
The images on the front-side view can be dis-
played at night using the infrared illumination
on the outside mirror.
Rear-wide view
The rear-wide view shows a wider area on the
entire screen and allows the checking of the
blind corners on the right and left sides. The
rear-wide view displays an approximately 180-
degree area while the front view and the rear-
view display an approximately 150-degree area.
The predicted course lines are not displayed on
the rear-wide view.
Distance guide lines:
Indicates distances from the vehicle body.
● Red line
1: approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
● Yellow line
2: approx. 3 ft (1 m)
● Green line
3: approx. 7 ft (2 m)
● Green line
4: approx. 10 ft (3 m)

Vehicle width guide lines5:
Indicates the vehicle width when backing up.
The corner sonar indicator
6will appear when
a corner of the vehicle moves closer to an
object.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTED AND
ACTUAL DISTANCES
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide line on the front and the rearview 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 displayed objects.
Moving to a steep uphill
When moving 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
A, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on
the hill is the place
B. Note that any object on
the hill is viewed in the monitor further than it
appears.

Moving to a steep downhill
When moving the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown further than the actual
distance. For example, the display shows 3 ft(1.0 m) to the place
A, but the actual 3 ft
(1.0 m) distance on the hill is the place
B. Note
that any object on the hill is viewed in the
monitor closer than it appears.
Moving near a projecting object
The predicted course linesAdo not touch the
object in the display. However, the vehicle may
hit the object if it projects over the actual
moving course.

CAMERA AIDING CORNER SONAR
FUNCTION
When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
the object while the Around View Monitor is
displayed, an indicator is displayed and a tone
is sounded by the corner sonar function to warn
the driver.
The color of the corner sonar indicator and the
pattern of the tone vary according to the dis-
tance to the object.
When the object is detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds
intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the color of the indicator turns
yellow and the rate of the blinking and the
volume of the tone increase. When the corner of
the vehicle is very close to the object, the
indicator stops blinking and turns red, and the
tone sounds continuously.
Keep the corner sonars (located on the front
and rear bumper fascia) free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. Do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects. If the sensors are
covered, the accuracy of the corner sonar func-
tion will be diminished.
WARNING
● The corner sonar function is not designed to
prevent the object.
● The colors of the corner sonar indicator and
the distance guide lines in the
front/rearview indicate different distances
to the object.
● Inclement weather may affect the function of
the corner sonar system; this may include
reduced performance or a false activation.
● This function is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary objects
to help avoid damaging the vehicle. The sys-
tem will not detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects close to
the bumper or on the ground.
● If your vehicle sustains damage to the bum-
per fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the
sensing zone may be altered causing inaccu-
rate measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
CAUTION
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as pos-
sible to hear the tone clearly.

OPERATING TIPS
●The screen displayed on the Around View
Monitor will automatically return to the pre-
vious screen 3 minutes after the CAMERA
button has been pushed while the shift lever
is in a position other than the R (Reverse)
position.
● The display of images on the screen may be
delayed after screens are switched. Objects
in the Around View Monitor may be distorted
momentarily until the Around View Monitor
screen is displayed completely.
● When the temperature is extremely high or
low, 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.
● The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction. ●
The colors of objects on the Around View
Monitor may differ somewhat from those of
the actual object.
● Objects on the monitor may not be clear and
the color of the object may differ in a dark
location or at night. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
● There may be differences in clearness be-
tween each camera view of the bird-eye
view.
● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the Around View Monitor may not display
objects clearly. Clean the camera.
● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolor-
ation. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
that has been dampened with a diluted mild
cleaning agent and then wipe with a dry
cloth.
● Do not damage the camera because the
monitor screen may be adversely affected.
● Do not use wax on the camera window. Wipe
off any wax with a clean cloth that has been
dampened with a mild detergent diluted
with water.

WARNING
● The air conditioner cooling function oper-
ates only when the engine is running.
● Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal in-
juries to people or animals.
● Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.
Start the engine and operate the automatic
climate control system.
When the “STATUS” button is pushed, the
automatic climate control status screen will
appear. (See “HOW TO USE STATUS BUTTON”
earlier in this section.)
