• When strong light directly shines on thecamera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
• Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the RearView Monitor may differ somewhat from the ac-
tual color of objects.
• Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a dark environment.
• There may be a delay when switching be- tween views.
• If dirt, rain or snow accumulate on the cam- era, the RearView Monitor may not display
objects clearly. Clean the camera.
• Do not use wax on the camera lens. Wipe off any wax with a clean cloth dampened
with a diluted mild cleaning agent, then
wipe with a dry cloth.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration.
• Do not damage the camera as the moni-
tor screen may be adversely affected. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the cam-
era
O1, the RearView Monitor may not dis-
play objects clearly. Clean the camera by wip-
ing it with a cloth dampened with a diluted
mild cleaning agent and then wiping it with a
dry cloth.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean 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
O1, 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
serious 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.

CAMERA AIDING SONAR (parking
sensor) (if so equipped)
4-24Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

•The system will not detect small objects
below 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.
4-28Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

•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 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.
NOTE:
The blue or green 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).
• When the RearView camera has detected
a blockage (icon will blink).
If the icon light continues to illuminate or-
ange, have the MOD system checked. It is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration.
• Do not damage the camera as the moni-
tor screen may be adversely affected. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of the
cameras
O1, the MOD system may not oper-
ate properly. Clean the camera by wiping
with a cloth dampened with a diluted mild
cleaning agent and then wiping with a dry
cloth.
