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 rear sonar indicator will appear when the rear
of the vehicle moves closer to an object
4.
CAUTION
● The turn signal light may look like the
side-of-vehicle line. This is not a
malfunction.
● Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the lens.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTIVE AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-
tance 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

HOW TO SWITCH THE DISPLAY
With the ignition switch in the ON position, press
the CAMERA button or move the shift selector to
the R (Reverse) position to operate the Around
View Monitor.
The Around View Monitor displays different split
screens views depending on the position of the
shift selector. Press the CAMERA button to
switch between the available views.
If the shift selector is in the R (Reverse) position,
the available views are:● Rearview/bird-eye view split screen
● Rearview/front-side view split screen
If the shift selector is in the P (Park) position, the
available views are: ● Front view/bird-eye view split screen
● Front view/front-side view split screen
If the shift selector is in the D (Drive) position, the
only available view is front view/front-side view
split screen.
When the shift selector is not in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed increases above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), the screen
changes from the Around View Monitor screen to
the previous screen.
CAMERA AIDING SONAR (parking
sensor)
The sonar (parking sensor) sounds a tone to
inform the driver of obstacles near the bumper.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the dis-
tance guide lines in the front, front-wide, rear and
rear-wide views indicate different distances to
the object.
WARNING
● The sonar (parking sensor) is a conve-
nience feature. It is not a substitute for
proper parking.
● The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
● Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
● Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar (parking sensor) as contained
in this section.
● The colors of the sonar indicators and
the distance guide lines in the rear view
indicate different distances to the
object.
● Inclement weather or Ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car wash,
a truck’s compressed-air brakes or a
pneumatic drill may affect the function
of the 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.
LHA2549

●The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
● The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
● The system may not detect the follow-
ing objects:
– Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, glass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
– Wedge-shaped objects.
● If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION
● Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard. ●
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of
snow, ice and dirt. Do not scratch the
surface of the sonar sensors when
cleaning. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the sonar function will be
diminished.
The system gives the tone for rear objects when
the shift selector is in the R (Reverse) position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
When the objects are 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 rate of the
tone increase. When the vehicle is very close to
the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns
red, and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after three seconds
when an object is detected by only the corner
sonar and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object gets away
from the vehicle. In the below cases, the sonar will be turned back
on automatically:
● When the shift selector is in the R (Reverse)
position.
● When the CAMERA button is pressed and a
screen other than the camera view is shown
on the display.
● When vehicle speed decreases below ap-
proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN
VIEW
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness, Tint,
Color, Contrast and Black Level of the Around
View Monitor, press the SETTING button with the
Around View Monitor on, select the item key and
adjust the level using the NISSAN controller.
Do not adjust the Brightness, Tint, Color, Con-
trast and Black Level of the Around View Monitor
while the vehicle is moving. Make sure the park-
ing brake is firmly applied.
