4. Maneuver the steering wheel to make thevehicle width guide lines
Dparallel to
the parking space
Cwhile 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 (Automatic Transmission
models) or in an appropriate gear (Manual
Transmission models) and apply the park-
ing 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 from 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 m) to the place
A, but the actual 3 ft (1 m)
distance on the hill is the place
B. Note that
any object on the hill is further than it appears
on the monitor.

object
The positionCis shown further than the
position
Bin the display. However, the posi-

Color, Contrast and Black Level of the rearview
monitor, push the SETTINGbutton with the
rearview monitor on, select the “Display” key
on the screen and 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

parking brake is firmly applied and the engine
is not running.
The display of the predicted course lines can be
set to ON or OFF. For details, see “CAMERA
settings” earlier in this section.
OPERATING TIPS
● When the selector lever is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen auto-
matically changes to the rearview monitor
mode.
● 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.SAA1924

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) PLAYER
OPERATION (models with navigation
system)
Precautions
Start the engine when using the DVD entertain-
ment system.
Movies will not be shown on the front display
while the vehicle is in any drive position to
reduce driver distraction. Audio is available
when a movie is played. To view movies in the
front display, stop the vehicle in a safe location,
move the selector lever to the P (Park) position
(Automatic Transmission models) or apply the
parking brake (Manual Transmission models).
WARNING
●The driver must not attempt to operate the
DVD system or wear the headphones while
the vehicle is in motion so that full attention
may be given to vehicle operation.
● Do not attempt to modify the system to dis-
play a movie on the front screen while the
vehicle is being driven. Doing so may dis-
tract the driver and may cause a collision and
serious personal injury or death.
CAUTION
● Only operate the DVD while the vehicle en-
gine is running. Operating the DVD for ex-
tended periods of time with the engine OFF
can discharge the vehicle battery.
● Do not allow the system to get wet. Exces-
sive moisture such as spilled liquids may
cause the system to malfunction.
● While playing VIDEO-CD media, this DVD
player does not guarantee complete func-
tionality of all VIDEO-CD formats.

●Delete Phone
Use the Delete Phone command to delete a
specific phone or all phones from
Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System. The
system announces the names of the phones
already paired with the system and their
priority level. The system then gives the
option to delete a specific phone, all phones
or listen to the list again. Once the user
chooses to delete a phone or all phones, the
system asks the user to confirm.
NOTE:
When the user deletes a phone, the associated
phone book for that phone will also be deleted.
● Replace Phone
Use the Replace Phone command to change
the priority level of the active phone.
The priority level determines which phone is
active when more than one paired
Bluetooth phone is in the vehicle.
The system states the priority level of the
active phone and asks for a new priority
level (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
If the new priority level is already being used
for another phone, the two phones will swap
priority levels. For example, if the current priority levels are:
Priority Level 1 = Phone A
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone C
and you change the priority level of Phone C to
Level 1, then: Priority Level 1 = Phone C
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone A
● Bluetooth On/Off
Use the Bluetooth On/Off command to turn
on/off Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem.
● Help
The system announces the available com-
mands.
VOICE ADAPTATION MODE
The Voice Adaptation mode allows up to two
users with different dialects 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 voice adaptation model for each con-
nected phone.
Training procedure
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet outdoor location.
2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine running, the parking brake on, and the
transmission in Park.
3. Press the
button.
4. Speak: “Help”. The system acknowledges the command and announces the next set
of available commands.
5. Speak: Voice Adaptation. The system
acknowledges the command and displays
the voice adaptation mode screen.
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, press the
button.
8. The voice adaptation mode will be ex- plained. 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.
