7. Monitor system
7-2
REARVIEW MONITOR (if so equipped)
When the shift lever is shifted into the R
(Reverse) position, the upper touch screen
display (upper display) shows the view to
the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in situations such as slot parking or
parallel parking.
REARVIEW MONITOR OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
The distance between the vehicle and the
objects viewed on the monitor may be
different from the actual distances.
“Difference between predictive and
actual distances” (page 7-19)
WARNING!
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RearView Monitor
could result in serious injury or death.
. The RearView Monitor is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
backing. Always turn and look out the
windows, and check mirrors to be sure
that it is safe to move before operating
the vehicle. Always back up slowly. .
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
. The system cannot completely eliminate
blind spots and may not detect every
object. It does not warn of moving
objects.
. Underneath the bumper and the corner
areas of the bumper cannot be viewed on
the RearView Monitor because of its
monitoring range limitation. The system
will not detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects
close to the bumper or on the ground.
. 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, similar to than
when viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors
. Make sure that the trunk is securely
closed when backing up.
. 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!
Do not scratch the camera lens when
cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.

AROUND VIEW®MONITOR (AVM) (if so
equipped)
When you push the on the
INFINITI Controller or shift the shift lever
into the R (Reverse) position while the
ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Around View Monitor operates with the
sonar system. The upper touch screen
display (upper display) shows the view to
the Around View Monitor. The Around View
Monitor shows various views of the posi-
tion 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
An approximately 150-degree view of
the front of the vehicle.
. Front-Wide View
An approximately 180-degree view of
the front of the vehicle. .
Rear View
An approximately 150-degree view of
the rear of the vehicle.
. Rear-Wide View
An approximately 180-degree view of
the rear of the vehicle.
AROUND VIEW MONITOR OPERA-
TION PRECAUTIONS
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in situations such as slot parking or
parallel parking.
There are some areas where the system
will not show objects. When in the front or
the rear view display, an object below the
bumper or on the ground may not be
viewed
*1. When in the bird-eye view, a
tall object near the seam of the camera
viewing areas will not appear in the
monitor
*2.
WARNING!
. The Around View Monitor is a convenient
feature 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.
The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other maneu-
vers.
. Do not use the Around View Monitor with
the outside mirror in the stored position,
and make sure that the trunk lid is
securely closed when operating the
vehicle using the Around View Monitor.
. The distance between objects viewed on
the Around View Monitor differs from the
actual distance.

7. Monitor system
7-14
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the
MOD system detects moving objects in
the front view or front-wide view.
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position and the vehicle
speed is below approximately 5 MPH
(8 km/h), the MOD system detects
moving objects in the rear view or
rear-wide view. The MOD system will
not operate if the trunk lid is open.
INFO:
.
The MOD system does not detect moving
objects in the front-side view. The MOD
indicator is not displayed on the screen
when in this view.
.While the sonar/BCI warning tone is beep-
ing, the MOD system does not chime.
WARNING!
. The MOD system is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation and is not
designed to prevent contact with the
objects surrounding the vehicle. When
maneuvering, always use the outside
mirror and rearview mirror and turn and
check the surrounding area to ensure it is safe to maneuver.
. The MOD system does not have the
function to detect the surrounding sta-
tionary objects.
. Do not use the MOD system when towing
a trailer. The system may not function
properly.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume or open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
. The MOD system performance will be
limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as:
— When there is low contrast between
background and the moving objects.
— When there is a blinking source of
light.
— When strong light such as another
vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is pre-
sent.
— When camera orientation is not in its
usual position, such as when a mirror
is folded.
— When there is dirt, water drops or
snow on the camera lens. —
When the position of the moving
objects in the display is not changed.
. The MOD system might detect something
like flowing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler,
moving shadows, etc.
. The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, direc-
tion, distance or shape of the moving
objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
parts where the camera is installed,
leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing
zone may be altered and the MOD system
may not detect objects properly.

MONITOR SYSTEM (if so equipped)
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
The image on the display is not clear. The front glass of the camera lens is dirty. Gently wipe off the dirt with a damp soft cloth.
Moisture drops such as rain or snow form on the
camera lens. Gently wipe off the drops with a soft cloth.
Light such as sunlight or a headlight beam from
another vehicle directly enters the camera. This is not a malfunction. It will return normal when
the light disappears.
Moisture condensation occurs in the camera lens
due to rapid temperature change. This is not a malfunction. It will return normal after
driving for a short period of time.
Objects on the display may not be clear in a dark
place or at night. Adjust the brightness or the contrast settings of the
screen.
The image on the display flickers. The vehicle is under fluorescent light.This is not a malfunction.
The colors of the object on the display look different
from those of the actual object. This is a typical phenomenon for cameras. This is not a malfunction.
Image does not appear on the display. The shift lever is not shifted to the“R”position. Shift the shift lever to the “R”position.
