  • Do not put a cigarette or flames to the Intelligent Rear View Mirror, the camera unit or wirings. It may cause a fire.

  • 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 indicator light of the mirror turns off at the Intelligent Rear View Mirror mode (camera view mode), immediately switch the system to the conventional rearview mirror mode. If the indicator light does not illuminate after switching to the Intelligent Rear View Mirror mode again, the system may malfunction. Have the system checked by a NISSAN certified electric vehicle 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 appropriately.

  • If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on the exterior glass surface covering the camera, the Intelligent Rear View Mirror may not display objects clearly. Use of the rear window wiper/washer may improve visibility, 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.

  • Do not push the buttons excessively or operating the lever roughly may cause a system failure or the Intelligent Rear View Mirror itself to drop.

  • Do not apply strong shocks to the body of Intelligent Rear View Mirror. It may cause a system failure.

  • Do not apply heavy load to the camera and camera-cover on the rear of the vehicle. It may cause the camera to be removed or may cause a system failure.

  • If it is difficult to see the Intelligent Rear View Mirror display screen because of a strong external light, switch the mode to the conventional rearview mirror mode for better use.

  • When LED headlights are viewed on the Intelligent Rear View Mirror display, the images may flicker. This is normal.

  • Due to diffused reflection from external environment, images on the screen may flicker. This is not a malfunction.

  • A quick movement of a thing may not be able to display on the camera view screen. This is not a malfunction.

  • Turn on the headlights at twilight or in a tunnel, etc. When headlights are turned on, the display and the camera systems automatically switched to the night mode, which can prevent dazzling.

  • The Intelligent Rear View Mirror mode (camera view mode) display is different from the conventional rearview mirror. Objects in the display may differ from actual distance. Do not solely rely on the Intelligent Rear View Mirror. Always rely on your own operation to avoid accidents.

  • Immediately after the Intelligent Rear View Mirror is switched from one mode to another, you may have difficulty in focusing on the image in the mirror/display screen with your eyes. Be cautious using the Intelligent Rear View Mirror until your eyes get accustomed to the selected mode. If it is necessary to correct eye focusing, the use of multifocal glasses, etc. is recommended.

  • It may take time for you to focus on the camera view display depending on your condition.

  • If the brightness of the camera view display is adjusted to excessive bright level, it may cause an eyestrain in the driving. Adjust the brightness properly.

  • Use the rear window wiper when it rains. If the camera view image is still unclear when the rear window wiper is in operation, check the deterioration of the rear window wiper blade.

  • When using the rear window wiper, images on the screen may flicker. This is not a malfunction.

  • Defog the rear window with defroster when rear window is fogged. Use the conventional rearview mirror mode until the rear window is fully defogged.

  • The display of the Intelligent Rear View Mirror may become hot. This is not a malfunction.

  • The colour of an object in the distance or in the dark may be difficult to be recognised. This is not a malfunction.

  • When the temperature is high, the brightness may be decreased or image may not be displayed on the camera view display. This is not a malfunction.

System maintenance (Intelligent Rear View Mirror)

  • Always keep the mirror and camera area of the rear window clean.
