When the camera is first activated with the
bird’s-eye view in the display, a red icon will
flash on the upper display. This indicates that
the sonar system is activated. For additional
information on the front and rear sonar sys-
tem, refer to “Front and rear sonar system” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
Available views
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

The non-viewable area2is 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.
In addition, the non-viewable corners are dis-
played in red and will blink for the first 3 sec-
onds
3to remind the drivers to be cautious.
Predicted course lines
4indicate the pre-
dicted course when operating the vehicle.
The predicted course lines will be displayed
on the monitor when the steering wheel is
turned. The predicted course lines will move
depending on how much the steering wheel is turned and will not be displayed while the
steering wheel is in the neutral position.
When the monitor displays the front view and
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
less from the neutral position, the two green
predicted course lines are shown in front of
the vehicle.
When the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or more, one green predicted course
line is shown in front of the vehicle and the
other predicted course line is shown at the
side of the vehicle.
When the monitor displays the rear view, the
predicted course lines are shown at the back
of the vehicle.
WARNING
∙ Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear
further than the actual distance.
∙ Tall objects, such as a curb or vehicle, may be misaligned or not displayed at the
seam of the views.
∙ Objects that are above the camera can- not be displayed.
∙ The view of the bird’s-eye view may be misaligned when the camera position
alters. ∙ A line on the ground may be misaligned
and is not seen as being straight at the
seam of the views. The misalignment will
increase as the line proceeds away from
the vehicle.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle in ac-
cordance with these system limitations
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ Do not use the MOD system when tow- ing a trailer. The system may not function
properly.
∙ Excessive noise (for example, audio sys- tem volume or open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
∙ The MOD system performance will be limited according to environmental con-
ditions and surrounding objects such as:
– When there is low contrast between background and the moving objects.
– When there is a blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another ve- hicle’s headlight or sunlight is present.
– When camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when a 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 flowing water droplets on the camera lens, white
smoke from the muffler, moving shad-
ows, etc.
∙ The MOD system may not function prop- erly 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, leav-
ing 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.
NOTE:
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).
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-33

Additional information:∙ When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
does not monitor the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
∙ The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not de-
tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example, a flat tire while driving).
∙ The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. After the tire is in-
flated to the recommended pressure, the
vehicle must be driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS
and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tire pressure.
∙ The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” warn- ing appears in the vehicle information
display when the low tire pressure warn-
ing light is illuminated and low tire pres-
sure is detected. The “Tire Pressure Low -
Add Air” warning turns off when the low
tire pressure warning light turns off. ∙ The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” warn-
ing appears each time the ignition switch
is in the ON position as long as the low
tire pressure warning light remains illumi-
nated.
∙ The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” warn- ing does not appear if the low tire pres-
sure warning light illuminates to indicate
a TPMS malfunction.
∙ Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s opera-
tion and the outside temperature. Do not
reduce the tire pressure after driving be-
cause the tire pressure rises after driving.
Low outside temperature can lower the
temperature of the air inside the tire
which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate. If the
warning light illuminates, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.
∙ The Tire and Loading Information label is located in the driver’s door opening.
∙ You can also check the pressure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the vehicle
information display screen. The order of
the tire pressure figures displayed on the
screen corresponds with the actual order
of the tire position. For additional information, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” and “Tire Pressure
Low — Add Air” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section and “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” in the “In case of emergency”
section of this manual.
WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affect elec-
tric medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for the
possible influences before use.
5-6Starting and driving

∙ If the low tire pressure warning light illu-minates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could
occur and may lead to an accident and
could result in serious personal injury.
Check the tire pressure for all four tires.
Adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on
the Tire and Loading Information label to
turn the low tire pressure warning light
off. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a
replacement tire as soon as possible. (For
additional information, refer to “Flat
tire” in the “In case of emergency” section
for changing a flat tire.) ∙ When replacing a wheel without the
TPMS such as the spare tire, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel is re-
placed, tire pressure will not be indicated,
the TPMS will not function and the low
tire pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1 minute. The light will re-
main on after 1 minute. Have your tires
replaced and/or TPMS system reset as
soon as possible. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
∙ Replacing tires with those not originally specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
∙ Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol tire sealant into the tires, as this may cause a
malfunction of the tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION
∙ The TPMS may not function properlywhen the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
∙ Do not place metalized film or any metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.
This may cause poor reception of the sig-
nals from the tire pressure sensors, and
the TPMS will not function properly. Some devices and transmitters may tempo-
rarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure warn-
ing light to illuminate.
Some examples are:
∙ Facilities or electric devices using similar radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
∙ If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
∙ If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near
the vehicle.
The low tire pressure warning light may illu-
minate in the following cases: ∙ If the vehicle is equipped with a wheel and tire without TPMS.
∙ If the TPMS has been replaced and the ID has not been registered.
∙ If the wheel is not originally specified by INFINITI.
Starting and driving5-7

6. When it is safe to do so, gradually turnthe steering wheel until both tires return
to the road surface. When all tires are on
the road surface, steer the vehicle to stay
in the appropriate driving lane.
∙ If you decide that it is not safe to return the vehicle to the road surface based
on vehicle, road or traffic conditions,
gradually slow the vehicle to a stop in a
safe place off the road.
RAPID AIR PRESSURE LOSS
Rapid air pressure loss or a “blow-out” can
occur if the tire is punctured or is damaged
due to hitting a curb or pothole. Rapid air
pressure loss can also be caused by driving on
under-inflated tires.
Rapid air pressure loss can affect the han-
dling and stability of the vehicle, especially at
highway speeds.
Help prevent rapid air pressure loss by main-
taining the correct air pressure and visually
inspecting the tires for wear and damage. For
additional information, refer to “Wheels and
tires” in the “Do-it-yourself” section of this
manual. If a tire rapidly loses air pressure or
“blows-out” while driving, maintain control of
the vehicle by following the procedure below.
Please note that this procedure is only a gen- eral guide. The vehicle must be driven as ap-
propriate based on the conditions of the ve-
hicle, road and traffic.
WARNING
The following actions can increase the
chance of losing control of the vehicle if
there is a sudden loss of tire air pressure.
Losing control of the vehicle may cause a
collision and result in personal injury.
∙ The vehicle generally moves or pulls in the
direction of the flat tire.
∙ Do not rapidly apply the brakes.
∙ Do not rapidly release the accelerator pedal.
∙ Do not rapidly turn the steering wheel.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands and try to hold a
straight course.
3. When appropriate, slowly release the accelerator pedal to gradually slow the
vehicle.
4. Gradually steer the vehicle to a safe lo- cation off the road and away from traf-
fic if possible. 5. Lightly apply the brake pedal to gradu-
ally stop the vehicle.
6. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and contact a roadside emergency service to
change the tire. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Flat tire” in the “In case of
emergency section of this manual.
DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS
AND DRIVING
WARNING
Never drive under the influence of alcohol
or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream re-
duces coordination, delays reaction time
and impairs judgement. Driving after drink-
ing alcohol increases the likelihood of being
involved in an accident injuring yourself and
others. Additionally, if you are injured in an
accident, alcohol can increase the severity
of the injury.
5-10Starting and driving

INFINITI is committed to safe driving. How-
ever, you must choose not to drive under the
influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of
people are injured or killed in alcohol-related
accidents. Although the local laws vary on
what is considered to be legally intoxicated,
the fact is that alcohol affects all people dif-
ferently and most people underestimate the
effects of alcohol.
Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!
And that is true for drugs, too (over-the-
counter, prescription, and illegal drugs). Don’t
drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is
impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other
physical condition.
DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your INFINITI is designed for both normal
and off-road use. However, avoid driving in
deep water or mud as your INFINITI is mainly
designed for leisure use, unlike a conventional
off-road vehicle.
Remember that 2-wheel drive models are
less capable than All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
models for rough road driving and extrication
when stuck in deep snow or mud, or the like.
Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
∙ Spinning the front wheels on slipperysurfaces may cause the AWD warning
message to display and the AWD system
to automatically switch from the AWD to
the 2WD mode. This could reduce the
traction. Be especially careful when tow-
ing a trailer (AWD models).
∙ Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas. Every person
who drives or rides in this vehicle should
be seated with their seat belt fastened.
This will keep you and your passengers in
position when driving over rough terrain.
∙ Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead drive either straight up or straight down
the slopes. Off-road vehicles can tip over
sideways much more easily than they can
forward or backward.
∙ Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. If you drive up them, you may stall. If you
drive down them, you may not be able to
control your speed. If you drive across
them, you may roll over.
∙ Do not shift gears while driving on down- hill grades as this could cause loss of con-
trol of the vehicle. ∙ Stay alert when driving to the top of a
hill. At the top there could be a drop-off
or other hazard that could cause an
accident.
∙ If your engine stalls or you cannot make it to the top of a steep hill, never attempt to
turn around. Your vehicle could tip or roll
over. Always back straight down in R
(Reverse) gear and apply brakes to con-
trol your speed.
∙ Heavy braking going down a hill could cause your brakes to overheat and fade,
resulting in loss of control and an acci-
dent. Apply brakes lightly and use a low
gear to control your speed.
∙ Unsecured cargo can be thrown around when driving over rough terrain. Prop-
erly secure all cargo so it will not be
thrown forward and cause injury to you
or your passengers.
∙ Secure heavy loads in the cargo area as far forward and as low as possible. Do not
equip the vehicle with tires larger than
specified in this manual. This could cause
your vehicle to roll over.
