MAINTENANCE INDICATORS
1. Engine oil replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for changing the engine oil.
You can set or reset the distance for
changing the engine oil. (See “Trip computer”
(P.2-28).)
2. Oil filter replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for replacing the oil filter.
You can set or reset the distance for
replacing the oil filter. (See “Trip computer”
(P.2-28).)
3. Tire replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance comes for replacing tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing
tires. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-28).)
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, includ-
ing tire pressure checks. See “Changing
wheels and tires” (P.8-34). Many fac-
tors including tire inflation, alignment,
driving habits and road conditions affect
tire wear and when tires should bereplaced. Setting the tire replacement
indicator for a certain driving distance
does not mean your tires will last that
long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform
regular tire checks. Failure to perform
regular tire checks, including tire pres-
sure checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to a collision, which could result
in serious personal injury or death.
4. “OTHER” indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for replacing items other
than the engine oil, oil filter and tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing
the items. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-28).)
More maintenance reminders are also avail-
able on the center display. (See Infiniti

Flicker image (example)
. When LED headlights are viewed on the
Smart Rearview Mirror display, the
images may flicker. This is normal.
. Due to diffused reflection from external
environment, images on the screen may
flicker. This is not a malfunction.
. A quick movement of a thing may not be
able to display on the camera view
screen. This is not a malfunction.
. Turn on the headlights at twilight or in a
tunnel, etc.
. The Smart Rearview Mirror mode (cam-
era view mode) display is different from
the conventional rearview mirror. Ob-
jects in the display may differ from actual distance. Do not solely rely on
the Smart Rearview Mirror. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid acci-
dents.
. If the brightness of the camera view
display is adjusted to excessive bright
level, it may cause an eyestrain in the
driving. Adjust the brightness properly.
. Use the rear window wiper when it rains.
If the camera view image is still unclear
when the rear window wiper is in
operation, check the deterioration of
the rear window wiper blade.
. When using the rear window wiper,
images on the screen may flicker. This
is not a malfunction.
. Defog the rear window with defroster
when rear window is fogged. Use the
conventional rearview mirror mode until
the rear window is fully defogged.
. The display of the Smart Rearview
Mirror may become hot. This is not a
malfunction.
. The color of an object in the distance or
in the dark may be difficult to be
recognized. This is not a malfunction.
System maintenance (Smart Rearview
Mirror):
. Always keep the mirror and camera area
of the rear window clean. .
Clean the mirror and the camera lens
with a dry soft cloth.
. When cleaning the camera area of the
rear window, use a soft cloth dampened
with water and a neutral detergent. Then
dry it with a dry soft cloth.
. If the image on the Smart Rearview
Mirror display screen is still unclear even
after cleaning the camera area of the
rear window, an oil film may be adhering
to the rear window glass. Clean the rear
window glass with an oil film remover.
. Never use alcohol, benzine, thinner, or
any similar material to clean the mirror or
camera lens. It will cause a discoloration,
deterioration or a system malfunction.
. Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) on the camera area of
the rear window.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
. Objects viewed in the outside mirror
on the passenger side are closer than
they appear. Be careful when moving
to the right. Using only this mirror
could cause an accident. Use the

is not a substitute for proper parking.
. This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large station-
ary 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 limitations
of the sonar as contained in this

The sonar function helps to inform the driver
of large stationary objects around the
vehicle when parking by issuing an audible
and visual alert.

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 UNA-
VAILABLE
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
“Sonar” settings (the setting items are

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of snow,

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (MOD)

4-24Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
— When strong light such as an-other vehicle’s headlight or sun-
light is present.
— 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 chan-
ged.
. The MOD system might detect flow-
ing 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.
