The bird's-eye view shows the overhead view
of the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle
position.
The vehicle icon

NOTE
The size of the vehicle icon on the bird's-eye
view may differ somewhat from the actual
vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover

The non-viewable area
2is highlighted in
yellow for several seconds after the bird's-
eye view is displayed. It will be shown only the
first time after the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.

Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
width and the front end of the vehicle are
displayed on the monitor.
The front-of-vehicle line

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.

HOW TO PARK WITH
PREDICTED COURSE LINES
WARNING
•If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may not be displayed correctly.
•On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course.
•The displayed lines will appear slightly
off to the right because the rear view
camera is not installed in the rear center
of the vehicle.
•If the battery is disconnected or be-
comes discharged, the predicted course
lines may be displayed incorrectly. If this
occurs, please perform the following
procedures:
–Turn the steering wheel from lock to
lock while the engine is running.
–Drive the vehicle on a straight road
for more than 5 minutes.
•When the steering wheel is turned with
the ignition switch in the ACC position,
the predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.

•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 wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a malfunc-
tion, fire or an electric shock.
•Do not strike the cameras. They are pre-
cision 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 be-
tween 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 clean-
ing agent, then wipe with a dry cloth.
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

–When strong light such as another
vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is pres-
ent.
–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 ob-
jects in the display is not changed.
•The MOD system might detect some-
thing like flowing water droplets on the
camera lens, white smoke from the muf-
fler, moving shadows, etc.
•The MOD system may not function
properly depending on the speed, direc-
tion, 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 sys-
tem may not detect objects properly.
•When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not display ob-
jects clearly. This is not a malfunction.
MOD MALFUNCTION
The blue MOD icon will change to orange if
one of the following has occurred
•When the system is malfunctioning.
•When the component temperature
reaches a high level (icon will blink).
If the icon light continues to illuminate or-
ange, have the MOD system checked. 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 discol-
oration. 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 moni-
tor screen may be adversely affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of the
cameras
1, the MOD system may not oper-
ate properly. Clean the cameras by wiping
with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild
cleaning agent and then wiping with a dry
cloth.

•Only use the "Windshield demisting" func-
tion briefly until the windshield is clear again
•Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, for
example if there are unpleasant outside
odors or when in a tunnel. The windows
could otherwise mist up as no fresh air is
drawn into the vehicle in air-recirculation
mode
•If you change the settings of the climate
control system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds

Activating/deactivating the cooling
with air dehumidification function
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the ve-
hicle will not be cooled. The air inside the
vehicle will also not be dehumidified. The
windows can mist up more quickly. There-
fore, only deactivate the "Cooling with air
dehumidification" function briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is only available when the engine is run-
ning. The air inside the vehicle is cooled and
dehumidified according to the temperature
selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when cooling mode is active. This
is normal and not a sign that there is a mal-
function.
To activate:

midification" function:
Problem:The indicator light in the
but-
ton flashes three times or remains off. The
cooling with air dehumidification function
cannot be activated.
Cause and solution:The cooling with air de-
humidification function has been deactivated
due to a malfunction. Have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit an
