. Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving. You could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.
The driver’s air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use the
seat belts.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on the
passenger side are closer than they appear.
Be careful when moving to the right. Using
only this mirror could cause an accident.
Use the inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances to
other objects.

WARNING
.Do not disassemble or modify this
system. If you do, it may result in
accidents, fire, or electric shock.

HOW TO USE TOUCH SCREEN
(models with navigation system)
CAUTION
. The glass screen on the liquid crystal
display may break if it is hit with a hard
or sharp object. If the glass screen
breaks, do not touch it. Doing so could result in an injury.
. To clean the display, use a soft, dry
cloth. If additional cleaning is necessary,
use a small amount of neutral detergent
with a soft cloth. Never use a rough
cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner or any
kind of solvent or paper towel with a
chemical cleaning agent. They will
scratch or deteriorate the panel.
. Do not splash any liquid such as water
or car fragrance on the display. Contact
with liquid will cause the system to
malfunction.
To ensure safe driving, some functions
cannot be operated while driving.
The on-screen functions that are not
available while driving will be “grayed
out” or muted.
Park the vehicle in a safe location and then
operate the navigation system.
WARNING
. ALWAYS give your full attention to
driving.
. Avoid using vehicle features that could distract you. If distracted, you could lose
control of your vehicle and cause an
accident.

Fuel Economy information
The approximate distance to empty, aver-
age fuel economy and current fuel econo-
my will be displayed for reference.
To reset the average fuel economy (Avg
Fuel Econ), select the“Reset Fuel Eco”or
“Reset” key.
If the “Fuel Eco History” or“View” key is
selected, the average fuel consumption
history will be displayed in graph form
along with the average for the previous
Reset-to-Reset period.
The unit can be converted between “US”
and “Metric”. (See “How to use SETTING
button” (P.4-15).)
The fuel economy information may differ
from the information displayed on the dot
matrix liquid crystal display. This is due to
the timing difference in updating the
information and does not indicate a mal-
function.

TIRE PRESSURE information
WARNING
. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
The tire pressure will be displayed for
reference.
The pressure indication “** kPa”or“**
psi ”on the screen means that the pressure
is being measured. After a few driving
trips, the pressure for each tire will be
displayed.
The unit can be converted in the LANGUAGE
& UNITS settings display. (See “How to use
SETTING button” (P.4-15) for details.)

. If an electronic device (such as a digital
camera) is directly connected to the
vehicle using a USB cable, no image
will be displayed on the screen.
. If the file name is too long, some file
names may not be entirely displayed.
. When the total number of characters in
the file name exceeds 100 or if 1 file
name in a directory exceeds 100
characters, all files will show a shor-
tened 8-character version. The image
will still be displayed when selected. When the selector lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor display
shows the view from 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 detect small objects below
the bumper and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
WARNING
.
The rearview monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
vehicle operation because it has areas
where objects cannot be viewed. Always
look out the windows and check mirrors
to be sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle slowly.
. Objects viewed in the RearView Monitor
differ 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 lift gate is securely
closed when backing up. .
Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the rearview 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
condensation on the lens, a malfunction,
fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the camera. It is a precision
instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunc-
tion 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.

HOW TO READ DISPLAYED LINES
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with re-
ference to the bumper line
*Aare dis-
played on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the bumper.
. 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 lines
*5:
Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.
Predicted course lines
*6:
Indicate the predicted course when back-
ing up. The predicted course lines will be
displayed on the monitor when the selector
lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the
steering wheel is turned. The predicted
course lines will move depending on how
much the steering wheel is turned and will
not be displayed while the steering wheel
is in the neutral position.
HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES
WARNING
. Always turn and check that it is safe to
park your car before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
. Use the displayed lines as a reference.
The lines are highly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position, road condition and road grade.
. If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course line
may not be displayed correctly. .
On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
. If predicted course lines are displayed
incorrectly, drive the vehicle on a
straight road for 110 yd (100 m) at a
speed of above 20 MPH (30 km/h).
. The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.
. 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 displayed ob-
jects.
. When backing up the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When backing up the
vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear. Use
the inside mirror or glance over your
shoulder to properly judge distances to
other objects.
