•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.

You do not have to remove the start/stop
button from the ignition lock when you leave
the vehicle. You should, however, always
take the key with you when leaving the ve-
hicle. As long as the key is in the vehicle:
•The vehicle can be started using the push-
button ignition switch.
•The electrically powered equipment can be
operated.
EMERGENCY ENGINE SHUT OFF
To shut off the engine in an emergency situ-
ation while driving, perform the following
procedure:
•Rapidly push the push-button ignition
switch 3 consecutive times in less than
1.5 seconds, or
•Push and hold the push-button ignition
switch for more than 2 seconds.
•Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
•Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool-
ant, brake fluid, and windshield-washer
fluid as frequently as possible, or at least
whenever you refuel.
•Check that all windows and lights are
clean.
•Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Measure and check the tire
pressure for proper inflation.
•Check that all doors are closed.
•Position seat and adjust head restraints/
headrests.
•Adjust the inside and outside rear view
mirrors.
•Fasten your seat belt and ask all passen-
gers to do likewise.
•Check the operation of the warning lights
when the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDW system
is located above the inside mirror.
To ensure the proper operation of the LDW
system and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
•Always keep the windshield clean.
•Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near
the camera unit.
•Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.
•Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove parts from the camera unit.
If the camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended you contact
an INFINITI retailer.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSW system
could result in serious injury or death.
•The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system
is not a replacement for proper driving
procedure and is not designed to pre-
vent contact with vehicles or objects.
When changing lanes, always use the
side and rear mirrors and turn and look in
the direction you will move to ensure it is
safe to change lanes. Never rely solely
on the BSW system.
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system can
help alert the driver of other vehicles in adja-
cent lanes when changing lanes.

The BSW system uses radar sensorsAin-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent
lane.The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther side of your vehicle within the detection
zone shown as illustrated. This detection
zone starts from the outside mirror of your
vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3 m)
behind the rear bumper, and approximately
10 ft (3 m) sideways.

The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (30 km/h). When the BSW is
activated, the side indicator light illuminates
in yellow up to a speed of 20 MPH (30 km/h).
At speeds above 20 MPH (30 km/h), the indi-
cator light goes out and the BSW system is
operational.

vehicle in the detection zone, the BSW indi-
cator light

–Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
–Oncoming vehicles.
–Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop.
–A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
–A vehicle that is too close to your
vehicle.
–A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
–A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
•The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
•The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally be
detected. This is a normal operating
condition.
•The following conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other ve-
hicles:
–Severe weather
–Road spray
–Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
•Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass through
the detection zone quickly.
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The BSW indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is travel-
ling much faster than your vehicle, the indica-
tor light may not illuminate before the de-
tected vehicle is beside your vehicle. Always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction your vehicle will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes.
