There are some areas where the system will not
show objects and the system does not warn of
moving 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’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam
*3of the camera viewing areas will not appear in the monitor
*2.

System temporarily unavailable
When the “” icon is displayed on the screen,
there will be abnormal conditions in the Around
View
ŠMonitor. This will not hinder normal
driving operation but the system should be
inspected. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for inspecting.

When the “” icon is displayed on the screen,
the camera image may be receiving temporary
electronic disturbances from surrounding de-
vices. This will not hinder normal driving opera-
tion. However, if it occurs frequently, the system
should be inspected. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
. Do not use alcohol, benzine or
thinner to clean the camera. This
will cause discoloration. To clean
the camera, wipe with a cloth dam-
pened with diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry
cloth.
. Do not damage the camera as the
monitor screen may be adversely
affected. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of the
cameras
*1, the Around View ŠMonitor may not
display objects clearly. Clean the camera by
wiping with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild
cleaning agent and then wiping with a dry cloth.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the sonar
function as outlined in this section
could result in serious injury or death.
.The sonar is a convenience feature.
It is not a substitute for proper
parking.
. This function is designed as an aid
to the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle.
. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
. Always look around and check that
it is safe to move before parking.
. Read and understand the limita-
tions of the sonar as contained in
this section.
When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
the object while the Around View
ŠMonitor is
displayed, an indicator is displayed and a tone is
sounded by the sonar function to warn the
driver.

CAMERA AIDING SONAR
FUNCTION (models with Around
View
ŠMonitor)
Page 240 of 614

SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system gives the tone for front objects when
the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position and
both front and rear objects when the shift lever is
in the R (Reverse) position.
When the camera image is shown on the center
display, the system shows the sonar indicator
regardless of the shift lever position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above 6
MPH (10 km/h) . It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front, front-wide, rear
and rear-wide views indicate different distances
to the object.
When the objects are 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 rate of the
tone increase. When the vehicle is very close to
the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns
red, and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3 seconds
when an object is detected by only the sonar
and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is no longer
near the vehicle.

TURNING ON AND OFF THE SONAR
FUNCTION
When the “” key*Ais selected, the
indicator
*Bwill turn off and the sonar will be
turned off temporarily. The Moving Object
Detection (MOD) system will also be turned off
at the same time. (See “Moving Object Detec-
tion (MOD)” (P.4-46) .) When the key
*Ais
selected again, the indicator will turn on and the
sonar will turn back on.
In the below cases, the sonar will be turned back
on automatically:
. When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position. .
When the CAMERA button is pressed and a
screen other than the camera view is shown
on the display.
. When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 6 MPH (10 km/h) .
. When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.
To prevent the sonar system from activating
altogether, use the “Camera” menu. See “Sonar
function settings” (P.4-44) .

Page 242 of 614

the ignition switch is placed in the ON position,
“Sonar is OFF” is displayed briefly.
Towing Mode:
When this item is turned ON, only the rear sonar
is OFF. The amber markers are displayed at the
rear corners of the vehicle icon.
Show Camera when Sonar Activate:
When this item is turned ON, the camera view is
automatically shown on the display in the case
that the distance to the objects measured by the
sonar is becoming short.
Sonar Sensitivity:
Adjust the sensitivity level of the sensor higher
(right) or lower (left) .
SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’ s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may affect the function of the system,
including 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 is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or moving
objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may
not detect objects close to the
bumper or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the
following objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow,
cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
— Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper fascia, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of objects or false
alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
When the amber markers are displayed at the
corners of the vehicle icon and the function
cannot be activated from the Camera setting
menu (the setting items are grayed out) , the
sonar system may be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of
snow, ice and dirt. Do not scratch the
surface of the sonar sensors when
cleaning. If the sensors are covered,
the accuracy of the sonar function will
be diminished.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the Mov-ing Object Detection system could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
.
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 sur-
rounding to ensure it is safe to
maneuver.
. The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 MPH (10 km/h) . It is
reactivated at lower speeds.
. The MOD system is not designed to
detect the surrounding stationary
objects.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system
can inform the driver of the moving objects
surrounding the vehicle when driving out of
garages, maneuvering into parking lots and in
other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the
image shown on the display.
MOVING OBJECT DETECTION
(MOD)
Page 244 of 614
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions:
.When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
. When the CAMERA button is pushed to
activate the camera view on the display.
. When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h) .
. When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and then back to the ON
position.
