The Around View Monitor system is designed as
an aid to the driver in situations such as slot
parking or parallel parking.
The monitor displays various views of the posi-
tion of the vehicle in a split screen format. All
views are not available at all times.
Available views:
•Front View
An approximately 150-degree view of the
front of the vehicle.
•Rear View
An approximately 150-degree view of the rear
of the vehicle.
•Bird’s-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle from
above.
•Front-Side View
The view around and ahead of the front
passenger’s side wheel.To display the multiple views, the Around View
Monitor system uses cameras
1located in the
front grille, on the vehicle’s outside mirrors and
one just above the vehicle’s rear number plate.

WARNING
•The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width lines 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 between the ve-
hicle and displayed objects.
•Use the displayed lines and the bird’s-eye
view as a reference. The lines and the bird’s-
eye view are greatly affected by the number
of occupants, fuel level, vehicle position,
road condition and road grade.
•When driving the vehicle up a hill, objects
viewed in the monitor are farther than they
appear. When driving the vehicle down a
hill, objects viewed in the monitor are closer
than they appear.
•Objects in the monitor will appear visually
opposite compared to when viewed in the
rear view and outside mirrors.
•Use the mirrors or actually look to properly
judge distances to other objects.

LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
Around View Monitor. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or death.
•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 apparent distance between objects
viewed on the Around View Monitor differs
from the actual distance.
•The cameras are installed on 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 con-
densation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or
an electric shock.
•Do not strike the cameras. They are preci-sion instruments. Doing so could cause a
malfunction or cause damage resulting in a
fire or an electric shock.
The following are operating limitations and do
not represent a system malfunction:
•There may be a delay when switching be-
tween views.
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly.
•When strong light is directly shines on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
•The screen may flicker under fluorescent
light.
•The colors of objects on the Around View
Monitor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects.
•Objects on the monitor may not be clear and
the color of the object may differ in a dark
environment.
•There may be differences in sharpness
between each camera view of the bird’s-eye
view.
•Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off
any wax with a clean cloth that has been
dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent, then wipe with a dry cloth.

–When camera orientation is not in its
usual position, such as when 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, direction, 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.
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
MOD MALFUNCTION
If the orange MOD icon is displayed in the view,
the system is not functioning properly. This will
not hinder normal driving operation, but the
system should be inspected. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the cameras. This will cause discolor-
ation. To clean the cameras, wipe with a
cloth dampened with diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.
•Do not damage the cameras as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of the
cameras
1, the MOD system may not operate

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the LDW system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically, and the message [Lane Depar-
ture Warning Inoperative] will appear.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location,
engage P (Park), turn the engine off and restart the
engine. If the message continues to appear, have
the system checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDW system is
located above the inside mirror.
To ensure the proper operation of the LDW
system and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
•Always keep the windshield clean.
•Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
camera unit.
•Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability of
detecting the lane markers.
•Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove parts from the camera unit. If
the camera unit is damaged due to an acci-
dent, it is recommended you contact an
INFINITI retailer.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use of the BSW system could result
in serious injury or death.
•The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system is
not a replacement for proper driving proce-
dure and is not designed to prevent contact
with vehicles or objects. When changing
lanes, always use the side and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction you will
move to ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSW system.
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system can help
alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent
lanes when changing lanes.The BSW system uses radar sensors
Ain-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent
lane.The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and
extends approximately 10 ft (3 m) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3 m)
sideways.
