Around View® Monitor (if so equipped)

With the ignition switch in the ON position, press the CAMERA button or move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position to operate the Around View Monitor. The monitor displays various views of the position of the vehicle in a split screen format.

WARNING

The Around View Monitor is a convenience feature. It is not a substitute for proper vehicle operation because it has areas where objects cannot be viewed.
The four corners of the vehicle in particular are blind spots where objects do not appear in the bird’s-eye, front or rear views. Always look out the windows and check with your own eyes to be sure that it is safe to move before operating the vehicle. Always operate the vehicle slowly.
The driver is always responsible for safety during parking and other maneuvers.
Do not use the Around View Monitor with the outside mirror in the stored position, and make sure that the liftgate is securely closed when operating the vehicle using the Around View Monitor.
The 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 cameras.
When washing the vehicle with highpressure 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.
Do not strike the cameras. They are precision instruments. Doing so could cause a malfunction or cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric shock.

Available views:

Bird’s-Eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle from above.
Front-Side View
The view around and ahead of the front passenger’s side wheel.
Front View
The view to the front of the vehicle.
Rear View
The view to the rear of the vehicle.

The system is designed as an aid to the driver in situations such as slot parking or parallel parking.

Around View® Monitor

There are some areas where the system will not show objects. When in the front or rearview display, an object below the bumper or on the ground may not be viewed 1 . When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam of the camera viewing areas will not appear in the monitor 2 .

CAUTION

Do not scratch the camera lens when cleaning dirt or snow from the front of the camera.

Available views

WARNING

The distance guide line and the vehicle width line should be used as a reference only when the vehicle is on a paved, level surface. The distance viewed on the monitor may be different than the actual distance between the vehicle and displayed objects.
If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predictive 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.
Use the mirrors or actually look to properly judge distances to other objects.
Objects in the rear view will appear visually opposite than when viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors.
On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the predictive course lines and the actual course line.
The vehicle width and predictive course lines are wider than the actual width and course.
The displayed lines on the rear view will appear slightly off to the right, because the rear view camera is not installed in the rear center of the vehicle.
Use the displayed lines and the bird’seye view as a reference. The lines and the bird’s-eye view are greatly affected by the number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle position, road condition and road grade.

Front view

Front and rear view

Guiding lines, which indicate the vehicle width and distance to objects with reference to the vehicle body line A , are displayed on the monitor.

Distance guide lines:

Indicate distances from the vehicle body:

Red line 1 : approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
Yellow line 2 : approximately 3 ft (1 m)
Green line 3 : approximately 7 ft (2 m)
Green line 4 : approximately 10 ft (3 m)

Rearview

Vehicle width guide lines 5 :

Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.

Predictive course lines 6 :

Indicate the predictive course when operating the vehicle. The predictive course lines will be displayed on the monitor when the steering wheel is turned. The predictive course lines will move depending on how much the steering wheel is turned and will not be displayed while the steering wheel is in the neutral 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 degrees or less from the neutral position, both the right and left predictive course lines 6 are displayed. When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or more, a line is displayed only on the opposite side of the turn.

WARNING

The distance between objects viewed in the rear view may differ from the actual distance. Objects in the rear view will appear visually opposite from those viewed in the inside and outside mirrors.
On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the predictive course line and the actual course line.

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 parking space.

The vehicle icon 1 shows the position of the vehicle. Note that the distance between objects viewed in the bird’s-eye view differs from the actual distance.

The areas that the cameras cannot cover 2 are indicated in black.

After the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the non-viewable area 2 is highlighted in yellow for 3 seconds after the bird’s-eye view is displayed. In addition, the non-viewable corners are displayed in red and blink for the first 3 seconds 3 to remind the driver to be cautious.

WARNING

Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear further than the actual distance because the bird’s-eye view is a pseudo view that is processed by combining the views from the cameras on the outside mirrors, the front and the rear of the vehicle.
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 cannot 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.

Front-side view

Guiding lines:

Guiding lines that indicate the width and the front end of the vehicle are displayed on the monitor.

The front-of-vehicle line 1 shows the front part of the vehicle.

The side-of-vehicle line 2 shows the vehicle width including the outside mirror.

The extensions 3 of both the front 1 and side 2 lines are shown with a green dotted line.

CAUTION

The turn signal light may look like the side-of-vehicle line. This is not a malfunction.

Difference between predictive and actual distances

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.

For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the place A , but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on the hill is the place B . Note that any object on the hill is further than it appears on the monitor.

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.

For example, the display shows 3 ft (1.0 m) to the place A , but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on the hill is the place B . Note that any object on the hill is closer than it appears on the monitor

Backing up near a projecting object

The predicted course lines A do 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 near a projecting object

There may be a small distance visible between the vehicle and the object in the bird-eye view on the display B .

Backing up behind a projecting object

The position C is shown farther than the position B in the display. However, the position C is actually at the same distance as the position A .

The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to the position A if the object projects over the actual backing up course.

How to switch the display

With the ignition switch in the ON position, press the CAMERA button or move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position to operate the Around View Monitor.

The Around View Monitor displays different split screen views depending on the position of the shift lever. Press the CAMERA button to switch between the available views.

If the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position, the available views are:

Rear view/bird’s-eye view split screen
Rear view/front-side view split screen

If the shift lever is in the P (Park) position, the available views are:

Front view/bird’s-eye view split screen
Front view/front-side view split screen

If the shift selector is in the D (Drive) position, the only available view is front view/front-side view split screen.

The display will switch from the Around View Monitor screen when:

The shift lever is in the D (Drive) position and the vehicle speed increases above approximately 6 mph (10 km/h)
A different screen is selected.

How to adjust the Camera Settings

To adjust the Display ON/OFF/AUTO, Brightness, Color and Contrast of the Around View Monitor, press the { } button with the Around View Monitor on followed by the SETTINGS key on the touch-screen. Next, touch the SYSTEM key and then the CAMERA DISPLAY SETTINGS key on the touch-screen.

Do not adjust any of the CAMERA DISPLAY SETTINGS of the Around View Monitor while the vehicle is moving. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.

Moving Object Detection (MOD) (if so equipped)

The MOD system can inform the driver of moving objects behind the vehicle when backing out of garages, maneuvering in parking lots and in other such instances.

The MOD system detects moving objects by using image processing technology on the image shown in the display.

The MOD system operates in the following conditions when the camera view is displayed:

When the shift lever is in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position and the vehicle is stopped, theMODsystem detects the moving objects in the bird’s-eye view. The MOD system will not operate if the outside mirror is moving in or out or if either door is opened.
When the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position and the vehicle speed is below approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD system detects moving objects in the front view or front-wide view.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the vehicle speed is below approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD system detects moving objects in the rear view.
The MOD system will not operate if the liftgate is open.

The MOD system does not detect moving objects in the front-side view. TheMODsystem icon is not displayed on the screen when in this view.

WARNING

The MOD system is not a substitute for proper vehicle operation and does not prevent contact with the objects surrounding the vehicle. When maneuvering, always use the outside mirror and rear view mirror and turn and look to check the surroundings to make sure it is safe to maneuver.
The MOD system is not designed to detect surrounding stationary objects.

Moving Object Detection

If the MOD system detects the moving objects surrounding the vehicle, the yellow frame will be displayed on the camera image and a chime sounds.

When the MOD system detects a moving object surrounding the vehicle, the yellow frame will be displayed on the view where the objects are detected and a chime will sound once. While the MOD system continues to detect moving objects, the yellow frame continues to be displayed.

In the bird’s-eye view, the yellow 1 is displayed on each camera image (front, rear, right, left) depending on where moving objects are detected.

The yellow frame 2 is displayed on each view in the front view, rear view modes.

A blue MOD icon is displayed in the view where theMODsystem is operative. A grayMODicon is displayed in the view where the MOD system is not operative.

If theMODsystem is turned off, theMODicon 3 is not displayed.

Turning the MOD system on or off

The MOD system is turned on or off using the settings menu in the vehicle information display.

A blue MOD icon is displayed if the MOD is operative.

A gray MOD icon is displayed if the MOD is not operative.

Press the button until “Settings” displays in the vehicle information display. Use the to select “Driver Assistance”.
Then press the ENTER button.
Select “Parking Aids”, and press the ENTER button.
To set the MOD system to on or off, use the buttons to navigate in the menu and use the ENTER button to select or change an item:

To turn off the warning, use the ENTER button to check box for “Moving Object” If the MOD system is turned off, the MOD icon is not displayed.

Moving Object Detection (MOD) malfunction

WARNING

Do not use the MOD system when towing a trailer. The system may not function properly.
Excessive noise (for example, audio system volume or open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
The MOD system performance will be limited according to environmental conditions and surrounding objects such as:

When there is low contrast between background and the moving objects.
When there is blinking source of light.
When strong light such as another vehicle’s headlight or sunlight is present.
When there is dirt, water drops or snow on the camera lens.
When the position of the moving objects in the display is not changed.

The MOD system might detect something like flowing water droplets on the camera lens, white smoke from the muffler, moving shadows, etc.
The MOD system may not function properly depending on the speed, direction, distance or shape of the moving objects.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts where the camera is installed, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered and the MOD system may not detect objects properly.

When the orange MOD icon is displayed in the view, the system is not functioning properly. This will not hinder normal driving operation but the system should be inspected by a NISSAN dealer.

Camera Maintenance

If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the camera, theMODsystem may not operate properly. Clean the camera.
