Use IPA for parking spaces that are:
•Parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel.
•On straight roads, not bends.
•On the same level as the road, e. g. not on
the sidewalk.
For vehicles with the towbar folded out, the
minimum length for parking spaces is slightly
longer.
If you have attached a trailer to your vehicle,
you may not use IPA. Once the electrical con-
nection is established between your vehicle and
the trailer, IPA is no longer available. The
parking sensor system is deactivated for the
rear area
DETECTING PARKING SPACES
The IPA system can only be used to park in
spaces that have vehicles directly on either side
of the parking space.
Objects located above the height range of IPA
will not be detected when the parking space is
measured. These are not taken into account
when the parking procedure is calculated, e. g.
overhanging loads, tail sections or loading
ramps of goods vehicles.
WARNING
If there are objects above the detection range,
IPA may steer too early. This could cause a
collision. There is a risk of an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and switch off the IPA.
For further information on the detection range
seeRange of the sensorslater in this section.IPA does not assist you parking in spaces at
right angles to the direction of travel if:
•Two parking spaces are located directly next
to one another.
•The parking space is directly next to a low
obstacle such as a low curb.
•You forward park.
IPA does not assist you parking in spaces that
are parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel if:
•The parking space is on a curb.
•The system reads the parking space as
being blocked, for example, by foliage or
grass paving blocks.
•The area is too small for the vehicle to
maneuver into.
•The parking space is bordered by an ob-
stacle, e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer.

CAUTION
•Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the tone clearly.
•Keep the sensors (located on the bumper
fascia) free from snow, ice and large accu-
mulations of dirt. Do not clean the sensors
with sharp objects. If the sensors are cov-
ered, the accuracy of the sensor function
will be diminished.
WARNING
INFINITI recommends only to use frameless
type license plate holders.
The parking sensor system may not function
correctly if the license plate is placed in a
frame as illustrated.
Please contact an INFINITI retailer for advice.

PARKING SENSOR OVERVIEW
1Possible parking sensor locations
The parking sensor system is an electronic
parking aid with ultrasonic sensors. The park-
ing sensor system indicates audibly the dis-
tance between your vehicle and an object. It
monitors the area around your vehicle using
sensors in the front and rear bumper. Possible
sensor configurations include a 4 sensor, 10
sensor or 12 sensor configuration.

NSD636Type A: 4 sensor system
Starting and driving5-75

The parking sensor system is activated auto-
matically when you:
•Switch on the ignition
•Shift to position D (Drive), or R (Reverse) on
vehicles with automatic transmission
•Release the electric parking brake
The parking sensor system is deactivated at
speeds above 10 MPH (16 km/h). It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.
The parking sensor system is deactivated for
the rear area when you establish an electrical
connection between your vehicle and a trailer.
RANGE OF THE SENSORS
The parking sensor system does not take into
account obstacles located:
•Below the detection range, e.g. persons,
animals or objects.
•Above the detection range, e.g. overhanging
loads, tail sections or loading ramps of
goods vehicles.
The sensors must be free of dirt, ice and slush.
Otherwise, they may not function correctly.
Clean the sensors regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them.
PARKING SENSOR SYSTEM OFF
SWITCH
The parking sensor system OFF switch2on
the lower side of the instrument panel allows
the driver to turn the parking sensor system on
and off. To turn the parking sensor system on
and off, the ignition switch must be in the ON
position. The indicator light
1on the switch
will illuminate when the system is turned off.
The parking sensor system will turn on auto-
matically when the ignition switch is turned
from the OFF position to the ON position.

PROBLEMS WITH PARKING SENSOR SYSTEM
Problem Possible causes/consequences and solutions
Only the red segments in the
Parking Sensor System displays are
lit. You also hear a warning tone for
approximately two seconds.
The Parking Sensor System is then
deactivated and the indicator light
on the Parking Sensor System
button lights up.The Parking Sensor System has malfunctioned and has been
deactivated.
If problems persist, have the Parking Sensor System checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Only the red segments in the
parking sensor displays are lit. The
Parking Sensor System is then
deactivated.The parking sensors are dirty or there is interference.
•Clean the sensors.•Switch the ignition back on.
The problem may be caused by an external source of radio or ultrasound
waves.
See if the Parking Sensor System functions in a different location.
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), follow
these recommendations to obtain maximum
engine performance and ensure the future reli-
ability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure
to follow these recommendations may result in
shortened engine life and reduced engine per-
formance.
•Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow, and do not run the
engine over 4,000 RPM.
•Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
•Avoid quick starts.
•Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
•Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 mi (805
km). Your engine, axle or other parts could
be damaged.
You should also observe these notes on
break-in if the engine or parts of the drive train
on your vehicle have been replaced.
