WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions 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 station-
ary objects 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 FUNCTION

4-18Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
SONAR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system gives the tone for front objects
when the shift lever is in the D (Drive)
position and both front and rear objects
when the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
When the camera image is shown on the
touch screen 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
seconds when an object is detected by only
the sonar and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object is nolonger near the vehicle.

TURNING ON AND OFF THE SO-
NAR FUNCTION
When the “P” keyis touched, the indicator
lighton the key will turn off and the sonar
will turn off temporarily. The Moving Object
Detection (MOD) and the Back-up Collision
Intervention (BCI) systems will also be
turned off at the same time. See “Moving
Object Detection (MOD)” (P.4-22) and
“Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI)” (P.5-
53).
When the “P” key
is touched again, the
indicator lightwill turn on and the sonar
will turn back on.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) and

the Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI)
systems will also turn back on at the same
time.
In the cases below, the sonar will be turned
back on automatically:
.When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
. When the CAMERA button is pushed
and a screen other than the camera view
is shown on the display.
. When vehicle speed decreases below
approximately 5 MPH (8 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 system settings
menu. (See “Sonar system settings” (P.4-
19).)
When both Sonar and the MOD system are
deactivated from the settings menu, the "P"
key
will disappear from the Around View®
Monitor screen. (See “Sonar system set-
tings” (P.4-19) and “MOD function settings”
(P.4-25).)
SONAR SYSTEM SETTINGS
The camera aiding sonar function settings
can be changed using the following proce-
dures.
1. Push the MENU button on the INFINITI controller.
2. Touch the "Settings" key on the touch screen display.
3. Touch the "Parking Sonar" key.

Available setting items:
Setting itemAction
Parking Sonar When this item is turned on, the front and rear sonar is activated.
When this item is turned off (indicator turns off), the front and rear sonar is deactivated. The amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon. When the Around View
®Monitor is activated next time after placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, a gray sonar icon will briefly flash on the touch screen display, indicating that the sonar system is off.
Auto Show Sonar Image When the sonar detects an object while this item is turned on, the Around View
®Monitor will interrupt the current view in
the display to show the surround area of the vehicle.
Front Only When this item is turned on, only the front sonar is activated. The amber markers are displayed at the rear corners of the vehicle icon.
Distance Adjust the sensitivity level of the sonar.
Volume Adjust the tone volume of the sonar.
NOTE:
Do not adjust any of the Parking Sonar settings while the vehicle is moving. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.

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 system, including
reduced performance or a false acti-
vation.
. The system is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or moving
objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may
not detect objects close to the bum-
per 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 measure-
ment of objects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
See “Front and rear sonar system” (P.5-126)
for more information on the sonar system
and limitations.
System temporarily unavailable
When the amber markers are displayed at
the corners of the vehicle icon and the
function cannot be activated from the
Parking sonar settings menu (the setting
items are grayed out), the sonar system may
be malfunctioning.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Keep the surface of the sonar (located on
the front and rear bumper fascia) free
from accumulations of snow, ice and dirt.
Do not scratch the surface of the sonar
when cleaning. If the sensors are cov-
ered, the accuracy of the sonar function
will be diminished.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the Mov-
ing Object Detection system could resultin serious injury or death.
.
The MOD system is not a substitute
for proper vehicle operation and is
not designed to prevent contact with
the objects surrounding the vehicle.
When maneuvering, always use the
outside mirror and rearview mirror
and turn and check the surrounding
to ensure it is safe to maneuver.
. The system is deactivated at speeds
above 6 MPH (10 km/h). It is reacti-
vated at lower speeds.
. The MOD system is not designed to
detect the surrounding stationary
objects.
The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system
can inform the driver of the moving objects
surrounding the vehicle when driving out of
garages, maneuvering into parking lots and
in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects by
using image processing technology on the
image shown on the display.
