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 mirrors and rearview mirror and turn and check the surroundings to ensure it is safe to maneuver.

• The system is deactivated at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower speeds.
• The MOD system is not designed to detect surrounding stationary objects.

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

Front and bird's-eye views

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 moving objects in the bird's-eye view. The MOD system will not operate if the outside mirrors are moving in or out, in the stowed position, or if either front door is opened.

Rear and bird's-eye views

• When the shift lever is in the D (Drive) position and the vehicle speed is below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), the MOD system detects moving objects in the front view.

MOD system limitations Nissan Pathfinder 2022

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. 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 a 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 a 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.
