2021 INFINITI QX50 Owner's Manual

WARNING
• Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for the proper use of the
Around View® Monitor system could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
• The Around View® Monitor is a conve-
nience feature and is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
The four corners of the vehicle in particu-
lar, are areas where objects do not al-
ways appear in the bird’s-eye, front, or
rear views. Always check your surround-
ings to be sure that it is safe to move
before operating the vehicle. Always op-
erate the vehicle slowly.
• The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and other
maneuvers.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the camera lens when clean-
ing dirt or snow from the front of the
camera. The Around View® Monitor system is de-
signed as an aid to the driver in situations
such as slot parking or parallel parking.
The monitor displays various views of the
position of the vehicle in a split screen format.
Not all views are available at all times.
Available views:
• Front View
An approximately 150–degree view of the
front of the vehicle.
• Rear View An approximately 150–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle.
• Bird's-Eye View The surrounding views of the vehicle from
above.
• Front-Side View The view around and ahead of the front
passenger's side wheel.
• Front-Wide View An approximately 180–degree view of the
front the vehicle.
• Rear-Wide View An approximately 180–degree view of the
rear of the vehicle. To display the multiple views, the Around
View® Monitor system uses cameras located
in the front grille, on the vehicle’s outside
mirrors and one just above the vehicle’s li-
cense plate
O1.
AROUND VIEW® MONITOR
SYSTEM OPERATION
With the engine running, move the shift lever
to the R (Reverse) position or press the
CAMERA button to operate the Around
View® Monitor. When activating the Around
View® Monitor, the guide lines, the icons and
the messages may not be displayed
immediately.

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, see “Front and rear sonar system”
(P. 5-160).
Available views
WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width 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
Guiding lines that indicate the approximate
vehicle width and distance to objects with
reference to the vehicle body line
OAare dis-
played on the monitor.
Distance guide lines
Indicate distances from the vehicle body:
• Red line
O1: approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
• Yellow line
O2: approximately 3 ft (1 m)
• Green line
O3: approximately 7 ft (2 m)
• Green line
O4: approximately 10 ft (3 m)

Vehicle width guide linesO5:
Indicate the approximate vehicle width when
backing up.
Predicted course lines
O6:
Indicate the predicted 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 steer-
ing wheel is turned and may not be displayed
while the steering wheel is in the straight-
ahead position. The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h).
NOTE:
When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or less from the straight-ahead posi-
tion, both the right and left predicted course
lines
O6are displayed. When the steering
wheel turns about 90 degrees or more, a line
is displayed only on the opposite side of the
turn.
Bird’s-eye view
The bird's-eye view shows the overhead view
of the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle
position and the predicted course to a park-
ing space.
The vehicle icon
O1shows the position of the
vehicle. Note that the apparent distance be-
tween objects viewed in the bird's-eye view
may differ somewhat from the actual dis-
tance to the vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover

The non-viewable areaO2is 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
seconds
O3to remind the drivers to be
cautious.
Predicted course lines
O4indicate 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.
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.

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.
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown closer than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
further than it appears on the upper display.
Backing up on a steep downhill
When backing up the vehicle down a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width
guide lines are shown farther than the actual
distance. Note that any object on the hill is
closer than it appears on the upper display.

Backing up near a projecting object
The predicted course linesOAdo not touch
the object in the display. However, the vehicle
may hit the object if it projects over the actual
backing up course.
Backing up behind a projecting
object
The positionOCis shown farther than the
position
OBin the display. However, the po-
sition
OCis actually at the same distance as
the position
OA. The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to the position
OAif the
object projects over the actual backing up
course.
HOW TO PARK WITH
PREDICTED COURSE LINES
WARNING
• If the tires are replaced with different
sized tires, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road,
there may be a difference between the
predicted course line and the actual
course line.
• If the battery is disconnected or becomes
discharged, the predicted course lines
may be displayed incorrectly. If this oc-
curs, 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 ON position,
the predicted course lines may be dis-
played incorrectly.
