Smart Rearview Mirror (if so
equipped)
WARNING
. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
Smart Rearview Mirror could result
in serious injury or death.
— The Smart Rearview Mirror is a convenience feature but it is not a
substitute for proper vehicle op-
eration. The system has areas
where objects cannot be viewed.
Check the blind spot of the Smart
Rearview Mirror before vehicle
operation. The driver is always
responsible for safe driving.
— Do not disassemble or modify the Smart Rearview Mirror, the cam- era unit or wirings. If you do, it
may result in accidents or fire. In
case you notice smoke or smell
coming from the Smart Rearview
Mirror, stop using the system
immediately. It is recommended
that you see an INFINITI retailer
for servicing.
— Do not operate the Smart Rear- view Mirror while driving. Doing
so can be a distraction and it could
lose control of your vehicle and
cause an accident or serious in-
jury.
— Do not gaze into the Smart Rear- view Mirror display during driv-
ing. It may cause a distraction and
it could lose control of your vehi-
cle and cause an accident or
serious injury.
— Do not put a cigarette or flames to the Smart Rearview Mirror, the
camera unit or wirings. It may
cause a fire.
. Be sure to adjust the Smart Rearview
Mirror before driving. Switch the
system to the conventional rearview
mirror mode and be properly seated
on the driver’s seat. Then adjust the
mirror so as to see the rear window properly. Driving without adjusting
the mirror may cause difficulty in
watching the display at Smart Rear-
view Mirror mode (camera view
mode) due to the reflection from the
surface of the mirror.
. If the Smart Rearview Mirror mal-
functions, immediately switch the
system to the conventional rearview
mirror mode.
. When strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams from following
vehicles) enters the camera, a light
beam or a glaring light may appear on
the monitor screen of the Smart
Rearview Mirror. In that case, switch
the system to the conventional rear-
view mirror mode appropriately.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on
the exterior glass surface covering
the camera, the Smart Rearview
Mirror may not display objects
clearly. Use of the rear window
wiper/washer may improve visibility,
but if not, switch the Smart Rearview
Mirror to the conventional rearview
mirror mode until a time the glass
covering the camera can be cleaned.

able to display on the camera view
screen. This is not a malfunction.
. Turn on the headlights at twilight or in a
tunnel, etc.
. The Smart Rearview Mirror mode (cam-
era view mode) display is different from
the conventional rearview mirror. Ob-
jects in the display may differ from actual distance. Do not solely rely on
the Smart Rearview Mirror. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid acci-
dents.

Difference between predicted and
actual distances
The displayed guide lines 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 guide lines
(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 positioning of objects behind the
vehicle.
