AROUND VIEW® MONITOR
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
Around View® Monitor. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ Do not use the Around View® Monitor with the outside mirrors in the stored po-
sition, and make sure that the liftgate is
securely closed when operating the ve-
hicle using the Around View® Monitor.
∙ The apparent distance between objects viewed on the Around View® Monitor
differs from the actual distance.
∙ The cameras are installed on the front grille, the outside mirrors and above the
rear license plate. Do not put anything on
the vehicle that covers 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 water
condensation on the lens, a malfunction,
fire or an electric shock.
LHA4348
4-22Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

∙ 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.
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
rear view display, an object below the bum-
per or on the ground may not be viewed
1.
When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near
the seam
2of the camera viewing areas will
not appear in the monitor.
The following are operating limitations and
do not represent a system malfunction:
∙ There may be a delay when switching between views.
∙ When the temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not display objects
clearly.
∙ When strong light 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 Around View® Monitor
may not be clear and the color of the
object may differ in a dark environment.
∙ There may be differences in sharpness between 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
cleaning agent, then wipe with a dry
cloth.
System temporarily unavailable
When the “!” icon is displayed on the screen,
there are abnormal conditions in the Around
View® Monitor. This will not hinder normal
driving operation but the system should be
inspected. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-23

When the “[X]” icon is displayed on the
screen, the camera image may be receiving
temporary electronic disturbances from sur-
rounding devices. This will not hinder normal
driving operation but the system should be
inspected. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
∙ Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner toclean the camera. This will cause
discoloration.
∙ 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 Around View® Monitor may
not display objects clearly. Clean the camera
by wiping with a cloth dampened with a di-
luted mild cleaning agent and then wiping
with a dry cloth.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the sonar function as
outlined in this section could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The sonar is a convenience feature. It is not a substitute for proper parking.
∙ This function is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary ob-
jects 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 section.
The sonar function helps to inform the driver
of large stationary objects around the vehicle
when parking by issuing an audible and visual
alert.

SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system gives the tone for front objects
when the shift lever is in the “D” (Drive) posi-
tion and both front and rear objects when the
shift lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position.
When the camera image is shown on the
upper display, the system shows the sonar
indicator regardless of the shift lever position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
The colors of the sonar indicators and the
distance guide lines in the front, front-wide,
rear, and rear-wide views indicate different
distances to the object.
When the objects are detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone
sounds intermittently. When the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the color of the
indicator turns yellow and the rate of the
blinking and the rate of the tone increase.
When the vehicle is very close to the object,
the indicator stops blinking and turns red, and
the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after 3 sec-
onds when an object is detected by only the
corner sonar and the distance does not
change.
LHA4558
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-25

The tone will stop when the object is no
longer near the vehicle.
TURNING ON AND OFF THE
SONAR FUNCTION
When the “” keyAis selected, the indi-
cator
Bwill turn off and the sonar will be
turned off temporarily. The Moving Object
Detection (MOD) system will also be turned
off at the same time. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Moving Object Detection
(MOD) in this section. When the “
” key
Ais selected again, the indicator will turn on
and the sonar will turn back on.
In the below cases, the sonar will be turned
back on automatically: ∙ When the shift lever is placed in the “R”
(Reverse) position.
∙ When the
CAMERA button is
pressed and a screen other than the cam-
era view is shown on the display.
∙ When vehicle speed decreases below ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
∙ When the ignition switch is placed in the “OFF” position and turned back to the
“ON” position again.
To prevent the sonar system from activating
altogether, use the “Sonar” menu. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Sonar function
settings” in this section.

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the sonar function. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ Inclement weather or ultrasonic sources such as an automatic car wash, a truck’s
compressed-air brakes or a pneumatic
drill may affect the function of the sys-
tem, including reduced performance or a
false activation.
∙ The system is not designed to prevent contact with small or moving objects.LHA4609LHA4610
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-27

∙ The system will not detect small objectsbelow the bumper, and may not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
∙ The system may not detect the following objects:
– Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
– Wedge-shaped objects.
∙ If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system vol-
ume or an open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the tone and it may not be heard.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at the
corners of the vehicle icon and the function
cannot be activated from the Camera setting
menu (the setting items are grayed out), the
sonar system may be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar sensors (lo-
cated on the front and rear bumper fascia)
free from accumulations of snow, ice and
dirt. Do not scratch the surface of the sonar
sensors when cleaning. If the sensors are
covered, the accuracy of the sonar function
will be diminished.
