Infiniti Jx35 (2013 year). Manual — part 14

● The distance guide line and the vehicle

width line and predicted course lines
should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a level paved
surface. The distance viewed on the
monitor is for reference only and may
be different than the actual distance
between the vehicle and displayed
objects.

● When backing up the vehicle up a hill,

objects viewed in the monitor are fur-
ther than they appear. When backing up
the vehicle down a hill, objects viewed
in the monitor are closer than they ap-
pear. Use the inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder to properly judge
distances to other objects.

HOW TO PARK WITH PREDICTED
COURSE LINES

1. Visually check that the parking space is safe

before parking your vehicle.

2. The rear view of the vehicle is displayed on

the screen

OPERATING TIPS

CAUTION

● Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner

to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera,
wipe with a cloth dampened with di-
luted mild cleaning agent and then wipe
with a dry cloth.

● Do not damage the camera as the moni-

tor screen may be adversely affected.

● When the shift selector is shifted to the R

(Reverse) position, the display screen auto-
matically changes to the RearView Monitor
mode. However, the radio can be heard.

● When the view is switched, the display im-

ages on the screen may be displayed in
some delay.

● When the temperature is extremely high or

low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.

● When strong light is directly coming on the

camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly. This is not a malfunction.

● Vertical lines may be seen in objects on the

screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.

● The screen may flicker under fluorescent

light. This is not a malfunction.

● The colors of objects on the RearView Moni-

tor may differ somewhat from the actual
color of objects. This is not a malfunction.

● Objects on the monitor may not be clear in a

dark environment. This is not a malfunction.

● If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the cam-

era, the RearView Monitor may not display
objects clearly. Clean the camera.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

WARNING

● The Around View Monitor is a conve-

nience feature. It is not a substitute for
proper vehicle operation because it has
areas where objects cannot be viewed.
Always look out the windows and check
to be sure that it is safe to move.

● 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 high-

pressure water, be sure not to spray it
around the cameras. Otherwise, water
may enter the camera unit causing wa-
ter condensation on the lens, a mal-
function, 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.

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 refer-
ence 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.

● Use the displayed lines and the bird-eye

view as a reference. The lines and the
bird-eye view are greatly affected by the
number of occupants, fuel level, vehicle
position,

road

condition

and

road

grade.

● If the tires are replaced with different

sized tires, the predictive course lines
and the bird-eye view may be displayed
incorrectly.

● When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob-

jects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear.
Use the mirrors or actually look to prop-
erly judge distances to other objects.

● Objects in the rearview will appear visu-

ally opposite than when viewed in the
rearview 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 displayed lines on the rearview will

appear slightly off to the right because
the rearview camera is not installed in
the rear center of the vehicle.

● The vehicle width and predictive course

lines are wider than the actual width
and course.

is shown at side of the

vehicle.

When the monitor displays the rear view, the
predictive course lines are shown at back of the
vehicle.

WARNING

● Objects in the bird-eye view will appear

further than the actual distance be-
cause the bird-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 can-

not be displayed.

● The view of the bird-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.

● Tire angle display does not indicate the

actual tire angle.

HOW TO SWITCH THE DISPLAY

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

The Around View Monitor can display two split
view as well as a single view of the front-wide
view or rear-wide view. Select the “Change View”
key to switch between the available views.

If the shift selector is not in the R (Reverse)
position, the available views are:

● Front-view/bird-eye view split screen
● Front-view/front-side view split screen

● Front-wide view

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

● Rearview/bird-eye view split screen
● Rearview/front-side view split screen
● Rear-wide view

When the shift selector is in the D (Drive) position
and the screen does not display the Around View
Monitor and the sonar detection distance is be-
coming short, the screen displays the front-
view/bird-eye view. In that case, when the SW

䊊

1

is selected or when the sonar does not detect any
objects, the monitor will display the previous
screen.

When the shift selector is not in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed increases above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), the screen
changes from the Around View Monitor screen to
the previous screen.

CAMERA AIDING SONAR (parking
sensor) (rear center sonar if so
equipped)

The sonar (parking sensor) sounds a tone to
inform the driver of obstacles near the bumper.

WARNING

● The sonar (parking sensor) is a conve-

nience feature. It is not a substitute for
proper parking.

● The driver is always responsible for

safety

during

parking

and

other

maneuvers.

LHA2319

LHA2320

4-44

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

● Always look around and check that it is

safe to move before parking.

● Read and understand the limitations of

the sonar (parking sensor) as contained
in this section.

● The colors of the sonar indicators and

the distance guide lines in the front,
front-wide, rear and rear-wide views in-
dicate different distances to the object.

● 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; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation.

● This function is designed as an aid to

the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the
vehicle.

● The system is not designed to prevent

contact with small or moving objects.

● 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 follow-

ing objects:

– Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,

cotton, glass 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

volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.

● Keep the surface of the sonar sensors

(located 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.

The system gives the tone for front objects when
the shift selector is in the D (Drive) position and
both front and rear objects when the shift selec-
tor is in the R (Reverse) position.

When the camera image is shown on the display,
the system shows the sonar indicator regardless
of the shift selector position.

The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.

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 three seconds
when an object is detected by only the corner
sonar and the distance does not change.

The tone will stop when the object gets away
from the vehicle.

is selected, the indicator

䊊

2

will turn off and the sonar will be turned off
temporarily. The MOD system will also be turned
off at the same time. When the switch is selected
again, the indicator will turn on and the sonar will
turn back on.

In the below cases, the sonar will be turned back
on automatically:

● When the shift selector is in the R (Reverse)

position.

● When the CAMERA button is pressed and a

screen other than the camera view is shown
on the display.

● When vehicle speed decreases below ap-

proximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

● When the ignition switch is placed in the

OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.

● When the switch is selected, the MOD func-

tion will also be turned off.

To prevent the sonar system from activating alto-
gether, use the “Camera Settings” menu. For
more information, see “Around View™ Monitor
settings” in this section.

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION
(MOD)

The Moving Object Detection (MOD) system can
inform the driver of the moving objects surround-
ing the vehicle when driving out of garages, ma-
neuvering into 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 con-
ditions when the camera view is displayed:

● When the shift selector is in the P or N

position and the vehicle is stopped, the
MOD system detects the moving objects in
the bird-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 selector is in the D position

and the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD system
detects moving objects in the front view or
front-wide view.

● When the shift selector is in the R position

and the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the MOD system
detects moving objects in the rearview or
rear-wide view. The MOD system will not
operate if the liftgate is open.

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

WARNING

● The MOD system is not a substitute for

proper vehicle operation and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with the ob-
jects surrounding the vehicle. When
maneuvering, always use the outside
mirror and rear view mirror and turn and
check the surrounding to ensure it is
safe to maneuver.

● The MOD system does not have the
