ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and
geographical north is known as variance. In
some areas, this difference can sometimes be
great enough to cause false compass readings.
Follow these instructions to set the variance for
your particular location if this happens:
1. Push theswitch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will
appear in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance number on the zone map.
NOTE:
Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.
3. Push theswitch repeatedly until
the new zone number appears in the
display, then release the switch. After you
release the switch, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.
● If the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjustment,
have the compass checked at an INFINITI
retailer.
● The compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving up
or down a steep hill. (The compass returns to the correct compass
point when the vehicle moves to an area
where the geomagnetism is stabilized.)
CAUTION
●
Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc., which
are attached to the vehicle by means of a
magnet. They affect the operation of the
compass.
● When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel
or similar material dampened with glass
cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly
on the mirror as it may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

TRIP COMPUTER
Switches for the trip computer are located on
the right side of the combination meter panel.
To operate the trip computer, push the side or
front of the switches as shown above.
Aswitch
Bswitch
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, modes of the trip computer can be
selected by pushing the
switchA. Each time the
switchAis pushed, the
display will change as follows:
Current fuel consumption →Average fuel con-
sumption and speed →Elapsed time and trip
odometer →Distance to empty (dte) →Outside
air temperature (ICY) →Setting →Warning
check
1. Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption mode shows the
current fuel consumption.
2. Average fuel consumption (MPG or
l (liter)/100 km) and speed (MPH or
km/h)
Fuel consumption :
The average fuel consumption mode shows the
average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pushing the
switch
Bfor longer than 1 second. (The average speed
is also reset at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. At
about the first 1/3 mile (500 m) after a reset, the
display shows “——”. Speed :
The average speed mode shows the average
vehicle speed since the last reset. Resetting is
done by pushing the
switchBfor longer
than 1 second. (The average fuel consumption is
also reset at the same time.)
The display is updated every 30 seconds. The
first 30 seconds after a reset, the display shows
“——”.
3. Elapsed time and trip odometer
(mls or km)
Elapsed time :
The elapsed time mode shows the time since
the last reset. The displayed time can be reset
by pushing the
switchBfor longer than
1 second. (The trip odometer is also reset at the
same time.)
Trip odometer :
The trip odometer mode shows the total dis-
tance the vehicle has been driven since the last
reset. Resetting is done by pushing the
switchBfor longer than 1 second. (The
elapsed time is also reset at the same time.)

4. Distance to empty (dte — mls or
km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly
being calculated, based on the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank and the actual fuel consump-
tion.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is
displayed on the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to “——”.
●If the amount of fuel added is small, the
display just before the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position may continue to
be displayed.
● When driving uphill or rounding curves, the
fuel in the tank shifts, which may momen-
tarily change the display.
5. Outside air temperature (ICY — °F
or °C)
The outside air temperature is displayed in °F or
°C in the range of 22 to 131°F (30 to 55°C). The outside air temperature mode includes a
low temperature warning feature. If the outside
air temperature is below 37°F (3°C), the warning
is displayed on the screen.
The outside temperature sensor is located in
front of the radiator. The sensor may be affected
by road or engine heat, wind directions and
other driving conditions. The display may differ
from the actual outside temperature or the
temperature displayed on various signs or bill-
boards.
6. Setting
Setting cannot be made while driving. A mes-
sage “Setting can only be operated when
stopped” is also displayed on the dot matrix
crystal display.

The warning systems switch will turn on and off
the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system, the
Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system and the For-
ward Collision Warning (FCW) system at the
same time.
The LDW system will sound a warning chime
and blink the lane departure warning light
(orange) to alert the driver if the vehicle is
traveling close to either the left or the right of a
traveling lane with detectable lane markers.
(See “LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM/LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion.)The BSW system will illuminate the Blind Spot
Warning (BSW) indicator lights, located next to
the outside mirrors, when the radar sensors
detect a vehicle in the detection zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the direction of the de-
tected vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the
BSW indicator light will flash. (See “BLIND SPOT
WARNING (BSW) SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.)
The FCW system will sound a warning chime
and the vehicle ahead detection indicator light
blinks to alert the driver if the vehicle is travel-
ing close to the vehicle ahead. (See “FORWARD
COLLISION WARNING (FCW) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.)
The warning systems switch is automatically
turned on when the engine is started, and the
warning systems ON indicator
1on the switch
illuminates.
To cancel the warning systems, push the warn-
ing systems switch to turn off the system. The
warning systems ON indicator will turn off. NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning systems
switch from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default status of
the LDW, BSW and FCW systems to OFF so that
these systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this procedure is
repeated, the default status will return to ON.

OPERATING TIPS
●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.
● It may take some time until the rearview
monitor is displayed after the selector lever
has been shifted to R from another position
or to another position from R. Objects may
be distorted momentarily until the rearview
monitor screen is displayed completely.
● 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 cam-
era, 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 colors of objects on the rearview monitor
may differ somewhat from those of the ac-
tual object. ●
Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
● If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the rearview monitor may not clearly display
objects. 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
dampened 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 wax on the camera window. Wipe
off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with mild detergent diluted with water. When you push the
CAMERAbutton or shift the
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.
Available views:
● Bird-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
● Front-Side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.
● Front View
The view to the front of the vehicle.
● RearView
The view to the rear of the vehicle.
● Rear-Wide View
An approximately 180-degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel
parking.
