Basic information

WARNING

• Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use of the Moving Object Detection system could result in serious injury or death.
• The MOD system is not a substitute for proper vehicle operation and is not designed to prevent contact with objects surrounding the vehicle. When maneuvering, always use the outside mirror and rearview mirror and turn and check the surroundings to ensure it is safe to maneuver.
• The system is deactivated at speeds above 5 MPH (8 km/h). It is reactivated at lower speeds.
• The MOD system is not designed to detect the surrounding stationary objects.

The MOD system can inform the driver of moving objects near the vehicle when driving 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.

MOD system operation

The MOD system will turn on automatically under the following conditions:

• When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
• When the CAMERA button is pushed to activate the Intelligent Around View Monitor system on the display.
• When vehicle speed decreases below approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h).

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, the MOD system detects the moving objects in the bird's-eye view.

  The MOD system will not operate if either door is opened. If outside mirrors are folded, MOD may not operate properly.

• 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 or rear-wide 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. The MOD icon is not displayed on the screen when in this view.

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

NOTE

While the RCTA chime is beeping, the MOD system does not chime.

MOD system limitations

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations for MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death.

• Do not use the MOD system when towing a trailer (AWD models). 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 camera orientation is not in its usual position, such as when the outside mirror is folded.
  • 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 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 temperature is extremely high or low, the screen may not display objects clearly.

  This is not a malfunction.

NOTE

The green MOD icon will change to orange if one of the following has occurred.

• When the system is malfunctioning.
• When the component temperature reaches a high level.
• When the rear view camera has detected a blockage.

If the icon light continues to illuminate in orange, have the MOD system checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer for this service.
