The colored guide lines on the display screen indicate vehicle width and approximate

distances to objects with reference to the vehicle body line.

• Red 1.5 ft (0.5 m); Yellow 3 ft (1 m); Green 7 ft (2 m) and 10 ft (3 m).

There are some areas where the system will not

show objects.

• When in the front or the rear view display, an

object below the bumper or on the ground may not be viewed

• When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near the seam of the camera viewing areas

will not

appear in the monitor.

The distance between objects viewed on the AVM

differs from the actual distance.

Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear further

than the actual distance.

MOVING OBJECT DETECTION

If the MOD system detects moving objects

surrounding the vehicle, a yellow frame 4 will

be displayed on the camera image and a chime will sound.

In the bird’s-eye view, a yellow frame is displayed on

those camera images (front, rear, right, left) where moving objects are detected.

When the following are displayed:

• Blue MOD icon

• Gray MOD icon

: the system is operative in this view.

: the system is not operative in this view.

• No MOD icon: the system is off.

To temporarily turn the system on or off, touch the MOD 7 key.

For more information, refer to the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems (section 4)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (if so equipped)

For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

NavTraffic* and NavWeather* (if so equipped)

Your vehicle’s Navigation System is equipped with NavTraffic and NavWeather capabilities.

NavTraffic enables your vehicle’s Navigation System to display real-time traffic conditions, such as accidents or road construction, and may provide a detour to help avoid congestion.

NavWeather tracks nationwide weather information, provides real-time weather reports and automatically alerts you to severe weather conditions around your current vehicle location.

* These features, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, NavTraffic and NavWeather,

require an active subscription. Multiple subscriptions may be necessary to activate the various features.

For more information, refer to the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems (section 4)” of your Owner’s Manual.

essential information

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will

appear in the vehicle information display 1 and the low tire pressure warning light 2 will illuminate when one or more tires are low in pressure and air is needed.

• The tire pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.

After the tire pressures are adjusted, drive the

vehicle at speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h). The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and the low tire pressure warning light 2 will extinguish.

When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for 1 minute and then remains on, the

TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked by an INFINITI retailer.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation and

the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperature of the air inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause the low tire pressure warning light 2 to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in your tires.

• Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always prior to long distance trips.

The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Please refer to the

“Technical and consumer information (section 9)” of your Owner’s Manual for the location of the Tire and Loading Information label.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the

“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Loose Fuel Cap

A LOOSE FUEL CAP warning message will appear in

the vehicle information display 1 when the fuelfiller cap is not tightened correctly.

To tighten, turn the cap clockwise until a single click

is heard.

The warning message will extinguish when the

vehicle detects the fuel-filler cap is properly tightened and the reset button 2 is pressed.

If the cap is not properly tightened, the Malfunction

Indicator Light may illuminate.

For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments

(section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
