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.

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.

When you push theCAMERAbutton or shift
the shift lever into the R (Reverse) position
while the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Around View Monitor oper-
ates. The monitor displays various views of
the position 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
The view to the front of the vehicle.
. RearView
The view to the rear of the vehicle.
. Rear-Wide View
An approximately 180-degree view of
the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the
driver in situations such as slot parking or
parallel parking.
SAA2148
There are some areas where the system
will not show objects. When in the front or
the rearview 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 conveni-
ence 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 to be
sure that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always operate
the vehicle slowly.
. Do not use the Around View Monitor with
the outside mirror in the stored position,
and make sure that the lift gate 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.
. The cameras are installed above the
front grille, the outside mirrors and
above the rear license plate. Do not put
anything on the cameras.
. When washing the vehicle with high-
pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing water

condensation on the lens, a malfunction,
fire or an electric shock.
. Do not strike the cameras. They are
precision instruments. Doing so could
cause a malfunction or cause damage
resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the lens when cleaning dirt
or snow from the front of the camera.

HOW TO SEE EACH VIEW
WARNING
. The distance guide line and the vehicle
width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved,
level surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed objects.
. Use the displayed lines and the bird-eye
view as a reference. The lines and the
bird-eye view are greatly 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 predictive course line
and the bird-eye view may be displayed
incorrectly.
. When driving the vehicle up a hill,
objects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the
vehicle down a hill, objects viewed in
the monitor are closer than they appear.
Use the mirrors or actually look to
properly judge distances to other ob-
jects.

The vehicle width and predictive course
lines are wider than the actual width and
course.

SAA1896
Rearview
Front and rearview
Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle
width and distances to objects with re-
ference to the vehicle body line
*A, are
displayed on the monitor.
Distance guide lines:
Indicate distances from the vehicle body.
. 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.
Predictive course lines
*6:
Indicate the predictive course when oper-
ating the vehicle. The predictive course
lines will be displayed on the monitor
when the steering wheel is turned. The
predictive course lines will move depend-
ing on how much the steering wheel is
turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
The front view will not be displayed when
the vehicle speed is above 6 MPH (10
km/h).

WARNING
.The distance between objects viewed in
the rearview differs from actual distance
because a wide-angle lens is used.
Objects in the rearview will appear
visually opposite than when viewed in
the rearview and outside mirrors.
. On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predictive course line and the actual
course line.
. If predictive 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 on the rearview will
appear slightly off to the right because
the rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90
degrees or less from the neutral position,
both the right and left predictive course
lines
*6are displayed. When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or more, a
line is displayed only on the opposite side
of the turn.
SAA1841
Bird-eye view
The bird-eye view shows the overhead view
of the vehicle which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predictive course
to a parking space.
The vehicle icon
*1shows the position of
the vehicle. Note that the size of the
vehicle icon on the bird-eye view may
differ somewhat from the actual vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
*2
are indicated in black.
After pushing the ignition switch, with the
Non-viewable Area Reminder (models with
navigation)/Blind-Area Reminder (models

without navigation) turned on, the non-
viewable area
*2is highlighted in yellow
for 7 seconds after the bird-eye view is
displayed.
When the corner of the vehicle moves
closer to an object, the corner sonar
indicator
*3appears.
WARNING
. Objects in the bird-eye view will appear
further than the actual distance because
the bird-eye view is a pseudo view that
is processed by combining the views
from the cameras on the outside mirrors,
the front and the rear of the vehicle.
. Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle,
may be misaligned or not displayed at
the seam of the views.
. Objects that are above the camera
cannot be displayed.
. The view for the bird-eye view may be
misaligned when the camera position
alters.
. A line on the ground may be misaligned
and is not seen as being straight at the
seam of the views. The misalignment will
increase as the line proceeds away from the vehicle.
SAA1842
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 front*1
and side*2lines are shown with a green
dotted line.
The corner sonar indicator
