Be sure to adjust the Intelligent Rear View  
Mirror before driving. Switch the system  
to the conventional rearview mirror mode  
and be properly seated on the driver’s  
seat. Then adjust the rearview mirror so  
as to see the rear window properly.  
Driving without adjusting the rearview  
mirror may cause difficulty in watching  
the display at Intelligent Rear View Mirror  
mode (camera view mode) due to the  
reflection from the surface of the mirror.  
If the Intelligent Rear View Mirror mal-  
functions, immediately switch the system  
to the conventional rearview mirror  
mode. Have the system checked by a  
NISSAN dealer.  
When strong light (for example, sunlight  
or high beams from following vehicles)  
enters the camera, a light beam or a  
glaring light may appear on the display  
screen of the Intelligent Rear View Mirror.  
In that case, switch the system to the  
conventional rearview mirror mode ap-  
propriately.  
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the  
exterior glass surface covering the cam-  
era, the Intelligent Rear View Mirror may  
not display objects clearly. Use of the rear  
window wiper/washer may improve vis-  
ibility, but if not, switch the Intelligent  
Rear View Mirror to the conventional  
rearview mirror mode until a time the  
glass covering the camera can be  
cleaned.
