Nissan Altima (L34) 2019-2024 Owners Manual: RearView Monitor system operation

With the ignition switch in the ON position, move the shift lever to the R (Reverse) position to operate the RearView Monitor.

How to read the displayed lines

Guiding lines which indicate the vehicle width and distances to objects with reference to the vehicle body line A are displayed on the monitor.

Distance guide lines

Indicate distances from the vehicle body.

• Red line 1 : approx. 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
• Yellow line 2 : approx. 3 ft (1 m)
• Green line 3 : approx. 7 ft (2 m)

Vehicle width guide lines 4

Indicate the vehicle width when backing up.

Predicted course lines 5

Indicate the predicted course when backing up. The predicted course lines will be displayed on the monitor when the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position and the steering wheel is turned. The predicted 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 straight-ahead position.

The vehicle width guide lines and the width of the predicted course lines are wider than the actual width and course.

Difference between predicted and actual distances

The displayed guidelines and their locations on the ground are for approximate reference only. Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or projecting objects will be actually located at distances different from those displayed in the monitor relative to the guidelines (refer to illustrations). When in doubt, turn around and view the objects as you are backing up, or park and exit the vehicle to view the positioning of objects behind the vehicle.

Backing up on a steep uphill

When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines are shown closer than the actual distance. 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. 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 A do not touch the object in the display. However, the vehicle may hit the object if it projects over the actual backing up course.

Backing up behind a projecting object

The position C is shown farther than the position B in the display. However, the position C is actually at the same distance as the position A. The vehicle may hit the object when backing up to the position A if the object projects over the actual backing up course.
