∙ The system is designed as an aid to thedriver in showing large stationary ob-
jects directly behind the vehicle, to help
avoid damaging the vehicle.
∙ The distance guide line and the vehicle width line should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a level paved
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.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when clean-
ing dirt or snow from the front of the
camera.
The RearView Monitor system automatically
shows a rear view of the vehicle when the
shift lever is shifted into the R (Reverse) posi-
tion or when the CAMERA
button (if so
equipped) is pressed. The radio can still be
heard while the RearView Monitor is active. To display the rear view, the RearView Moni-
tor system uses a camera located just above
the vehicle’s license plate
1.
REARVIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the ON position,
move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) posi-
tion or press the CAMERA
button (if so
equipped) to operate the RearView Monitor.

Indicate the predicted course when backing
up. The predicted course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the shift lever is
in the R (Reverse) position and the steering
wheel is turned. The predicted course lines
will move depending on how much the steer-
ing wheel is turned and will not be displayed
while the steering wheel is in the straight-
ahead position.
The vehicle width guide lines and the width of
the predicted course lines are wider than the
actual width and course.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTED AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES
The displayed guidelines and their locations
on the ground are for approximate reference
only. Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or
projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in
the monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to
illustrations). When in doubt, turn around and
view the objects as you are backing up, or
park and exit the vehicle to view the position-
ing of objects behind the vehicle.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the monitor.

closer than it appears on the monitor.

ADJUSTING THE SCREEN
To adjust the Display ON/OFF, Brightness,
Tint, Color, Contrast and Black Level of the
RearView Monitor, press the SETTING but-
ton with the RearView Monitor on. Select
one of the items and change the value by
touching the “+” or “-” key or by turning the
INFINITI controller. NOTE:
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.
HOW TO TURN ON AND OFF
PREDICTED COURSE LINES
To toggle on and off the predicted course
lines while in the P (Park) position:
1. Press the SETTING button.
2. Touch the Camera or Camera/Sonar key.
3. Touch the Camera key.
4. Touch the Predicted Course Lines key to turn the feature on or off.

LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
RearView Monitor. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
LHA4243
4-8Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
When the camera is first activated with the
bird’s-eye view in the display, a red icon will
flash on the screen. This indicates that the
sonar system is activated. For additional in-
formation on the front and rear sonar system
(if so equipped), refer to “Front and Rear
Sonar System” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.

WARNING
∙ The distance guide lines and the vehiclewidth lines should be used as a reference
only when the vehicle is on a paved, level
surface. The apparent distance viewed
on the monitor may be different than the
actual distance between the vehicle 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, cargo, fuel
level, vehicle position, road condition and
road grade.
∙ If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predicted course lines and
the bird’s-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.
∙ Objects in the rear view will appear visu- ally opposite compared to when viewed
in the monitor and outside mirrors.
∙ Use the mirrors or actually look to prop- erly judge distances to other objects.
∙ On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course line.
∙ The vehicle width and predicted course lines are wider than the actual width and
course.
∙ The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle. Front and rear view

Indicate the predicted course when operating

displayed on the monitor when the steering

will move depending on how much the steer-
ing wheel is turned and will not be displayed
while the steering wheel is in the straight-
ahead position. The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h).
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or less from the straight-ahead posi-
tion, both the right and left predicted 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.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view
of the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predicted course to a park-
ing space.
The vehicle icon

vehicle. Note that the apparent distance be-
tween objects viewed in the bird’s-eye view
may differ somewhat from the actual dis-
tance to the vehicle.
