Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid (2015 year). Instruction

The front view will not be displayed when the
vehicle speed is above 10 km/h (6 mph).

NOTE:

When the monitor displays the front view
and the steering wheel turns about 90 de-
grees or less from the neutral position,
both the right and left predictive course
lines

䊊

are displayed. When the steering

wheel turns about 90 degrees or more, a
line is displayed only on the opposite side
of the turn.

Bird’s-eye view

The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of
the vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle po-
sition and the predicted course to a parking
space.

The vehicle icon

䊊

shows the position of the

vehicle. Note that the size of the vehicle icon on
the bird’s-eye view may differ somewhat from the
actual vehicle.

The areas that the cameras cannot cover

䊊

are

indicated in black.

The non-viewable area

䊊

is highlighted in yellow

for several seconds after the bird’s-eye view is

displayed. It will be shown only the first time after
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.

When the corner of the vehicle moves closer to
an object, the corner sonar indicators

䊊

appear.

When the center of the vehicle moves close to an
object, the center sonar indicator

䊊

appears (if

so equipped).

The driver can check the direction and angle of
the tire on the display by tire icon

䊊

when driving

the vehicle forward or backward.

Predictive course lines (

䊊

and

䊊

) 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.

When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, the two green predic-
tive course lines

䊊

are shown in front of the

vehicle.

When the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees
or more, one green predictive course lines is
shown in front of the vehicle and other green
predictive course lines

䊊

is shown at side of the

vehicle.

vehicle.

WARNING

● Objects in the bird’s-eye view will ap-

pear 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 can-

not 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.

● Tire angle display does not indicate the

actual tire angle.

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

䊊

shows the front part

of the vehicle.

The side-of-vehicle line

䊊

shows the vehicle

width including the outside mirror.

The extensions

䊊

of both the front

䊊

and side

䊊

lines are shown with a green dotted line.

The rear sonar indicator will appear when the rear
of the vehicle moves closer to an object

䊊

CAUTION

● The turn signal light may look like the

side-of-vehicle

line.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PREDICTIVE AND ACTUAL
DISTANCES

Backing up on a steep uphill

When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the dis-
tance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 1.0 m (3 ft) to the
place

䊊

, but the actual 1.0 m (3 ft) distance on

the hill is the place

䊊

. 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

䊊

, but the actual 3 ft (1.0 m) distance on

the hill is the place

䊊

. 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

LHA3147

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

4-37

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

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

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

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

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

● When the shift lever is in the D (Drive) posi-

tion and the vehicle speed increases above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

● When a different screen is selected.

PARKING SENSOR / REAR CENTER
SONAR

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

The colors of the sonar indicators and the dis-
tance guide lines in the rear view indicate differ-
ent distances to the object.

WARNING

● The sonar (parking sensor) is a conve-

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

● The system is deactivated at speeds

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

● 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 (parking sensor) as contained
in this section.

● Inclement

weather

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.

LHA2549

4-38

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

● 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 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 rear objects when
the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.

The system is deactivated at speeds above
10 km/h (6 mph). 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 3 seconds
when an object is detected by only the corner
sonar and the distance does not change.

The tone will stop when the object is no longer
near the vehicle.

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

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

position.

● When vehicle speed decreases below ap-

proximately 10 km/h (6 mph).

● When the ignition switch is placed in the

OFF position and turned back to the ON
position again.

● The sonar system can be permanently

turned off using the meter settings.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

The air conditioner system in your NISSAN ve-
hicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind.

This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.

Special charging equipment and lubricant is re-
quired when servicing your NISSAN air condi-
tioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants
will cause severe damage to your air conditioner
system. For additional information, refer to “Air
conditioner system refrigerant and oil recommen-
dations” in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.

A NISSAN dealer is able to service your “environ-
mentally friendly” air conditioning system.

WARNING

The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment.

RADIO

Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position and press the VOL (volume)/ON·OFF
(power) knob to turn the radio on. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the ignition
switch should be placed in the ACC position.

Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-
ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality
normally are caused by these external influences.

Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.

Radio reception

Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance ra-
dio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the qual-
ity of that reception.

However, there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics are completely normal in a given re-
ception area and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.

Reception conditions will constantly change be-
cause of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other ve-
hicles can work against ideal reception. De-
scribed below are some of the factors that can
affect your radio reception.

Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to come
from the audio system speakers. Storing the de-
vice in a different location may reduce or elimi-
nate the noise.

FM RADIO RECEPTION

Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 – 30 mi
(40 – 48 km), with monaural (single channel) FM
having slightly more range than stereo FM. Exter-
nal influences may sometimes interfere with FM
station reception even if the FM station is within
25 mi (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is
directly related to the distance between the
transmitter and receiver. FM signals follow a line-
of-sight path, exhibiting many of the same char-
acteristics as light. For example, they will reflect
off objects.

Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
and/or drift.eb

Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position
