HOW TO ADJUST SCREEN
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness,
Tint, Color, Contrast and Black Level of the
rearview monitor, push theSETTINGbutton
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.
OPERATING TIPS
. When the shift lever is shifted to the R
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen
automatically changes to the rearview
monitor mode. However, the radio can
be heard.
. When the view is switched, the display
images on the screen may be displayed
with some delay.
. When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
. When strong light is directly coming on
the camera, objects may not be dis-
played clearly. This is not a malfunc- tion.
. 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 the
actual color of objects. This is not a
malfunction.
. Objects on the monitor may not be clear
in a dark environment. This is not a
malfunction.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the
camera, the RearView monitor may not
display object clearly. Clean the cam-
era.
. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner
to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with
diluted mild cleaning agent and then
wipe with a dry cloth.
. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely af-
fected.
. Do not use wax on the camera window.
Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth dampened with mild detergent diluted
with water.

CAMERA AIDING CORNER SONAR
FUNCTION
When the corner of the vehicle moves
closer to the object while the Around View
Monitor is displayed, an indicator is
displayed and a tone is sounded by the
corner sonar function to warn the driver.
The color of the corner sonar indicator and
the pattern of the tone vary according to
the distance to the object.
When the object is 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 volume of the tone
increase. When the corner of the vehicle
is very close to the object, the indicator
stops blinking and turns red, and the tone
sounds continuously.
Keep the corner sonars (located on the
front and rear bumper fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the corner sonar function will
be diminished.
WARNING
.The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
. The colors of the corner sonar indicator
and the distance guide lines in the front/
rearview indicate different distances to
the object.
. Inclement weather may affect the func-
tion of the corner sonar 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. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the bumper or on
the ground.
. 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-
stacles or false alarms.
CAUTION
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the tone clearly.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN VIEW
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness,
Tint, Color, Contrast and Black Level of the
Around View Monitor, push the SETTING
button with the Around View Monitor on,
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 Around
View Monitor while the vehicle is moving.
Make sure the parking brake is firmly
applied.
