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

tened 8-character version. The image
will still be displayed when selected. GUID-63214A06-C148-4301-9B23-AF1E0EA151B6
When the selector/shift lever is shifted into
the “ R ” (Reverse) position, the monitor
display shows view to 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 trunk is securely
closed when backing up.

[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]4-24 Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems. 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.
CAUTIONThere is a plastic cover over the camera. Do
not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or
snow from the cover. SAA1896
HOW TO READ DISPLAYED LINES GUID-2618A9E5-1A1F-4AE7-9A2B-28557D8D9F81
Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with re-
ference to the bumper line
* A
are 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 selec-
tor/shift 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 GUID-E6DBE254-D73E-4977-91E5-7921E8117C6E
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.

Black plate (203,1)
[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
. If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted course
lines may not be displayed correctly. If
this occurs, drive the vehicle on a
straight road for more than 5 minutes.
. 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.
The vehicle width and predicted course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.

priate gear (Manual Transmission mod-
els) and apply the parking brake.

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 displayed objects.

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

, but the
actual 3 ft (1 m) distance on the hill is the

* B
. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the monitor.

Backing up near a projecting object GUID-21E0DDA2-D6DF-4BEC-9EC6-DAA45C5A151A
The predicted course lines
* A
do not touch
the object in the display. However, the
vehicle may hit the object if it projects over
the actual backing up course. SAA1924
Backing up behind a projecting
object GUID-2B9F6D88-E4A9-43BC-A5D2-C5EF6F380AE0
The position
* C
is shown further than the
position
* B
in the display. However, the
position
* C
is actually at the same
distance as the position
* A
. The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to the
position
* A
if the object projects over the
actual backing up course.

HOW TO ADJUST SCREEN GUID-8EC63937-DDFF-48F5-9E13-CE42D28EBED6
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness,
Tint, Color, Contrast and Black Level of the
rearview monitor, push the SETTING button
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,
Contrast 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 GUID-C7806C41-88DD-4A7A-BEE4-AA3328E302E3
. When the selector/shift lever is shifted
to the “ R ” (Reverse) position, the
monitor screen automatically changes
to the rearview monitor mode. How-
ever, the radio can be heard.
. It may take some time until the rearview
monitor is displayed after the selector/
shift 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 malfunc-
tion.
. When strong light directly enters the
camera, 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 fluores-
cent light. This is not a malfunction.
. The colors of objects on the rearview
monitor may differ somewhat from
those of the actual object.
