Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Service and Repair Manual: Calibrating Camera Image (around View Monitor)

3d Fixed View

Work Procedure

  • Calibration must be performed after removing/replacing the cameras, removing parts (e.g. front grille, door mirror, and others) mounted on the cameras, or replacing the around view monitor control unit.

  • The use of CONSULT is required to perform calibration or writing of calibration results to the around view monitor control unit.

  • Align the white lines on the road near the vehicle at the boundary of each camera image by this camera calibration. The white lines far from the vehicle may not be aligned at the boundary of each camera image. The farther the line, the greater the difference is.

  • Following the flowchart shown in the figure, perform the calibration.

CAUTION:

When around view monitor control unit is replaced, perform the control unit setting before performing this calibration. Refer to Work Procedure.

CHECK AROUND VIEW MONITOR SCREEN

Check that there is no indication of “Incomplete calibration”.

NOTE:

View in the incomplete calibration state is indicated by “” on the around view monitor.

Is the “Incomplete calibration” display visible?

YES>>

GO TO 3.

NO>>

GO TO 2.

PERFORM SIMPLIFIED CONFIRMATION BY BIRDS-EYE VIEW SCREEN

Check the gap between each camera image on a birds-eye view screen.

Is the gap between each camera image exist?

YES>>

GO TO 3.

NO>>

PREPARATION OF TARGET LINE 1

NOTE:

  • If a target line is narrow, it is hard to confirm it with around view monitor screen. The width of the target line recommends an approximately 5.0 - 10.0 cm (1.97 - 3.94 in).

  • It is easy to confirm a target line on a around view monitor screen when draw a target line with a color opposite to a working floor.

    Example

    • Floor is blue: target line is yellow

    • Floor is green: target line is red

Preparation of target line 1

  1. Hang a string with a weight as shown in the figure. Put the points FM0, RM0 (mark) on the ground at the center of the vehicle front end and rear end with white packing tape or a pen.

    Thread Weight Point FM0 (mark)
    Point RM0 (mark) Packing tape (to fix the vinyl string) Vinyl string
  2. Route the vinyl string under the vehicle, and then pull and fix it on the point approximately 1.0 m (39.9 in) to the front and rear of the vehicle through the points FM0 and RM0 using packing tape.

    A : Approx.1.0 m (39.9 in)
  3. Put the points FM and RM (mark) 75 cm (29.5 in) from the points FM0 and RM0 individually.

    A : Approx. 75 cm (29.5 in)
  4. Route the vinyl string through the points FM and RM using a triangle scale, and then fix it at approximately 1.5 m (59.0 in) on both sides with packing tape.

    A : Approx. 1.5 m (59.0 in)
  5. Put the points FL, FR, RL, and RR (mark) to both right and left [vehicle width / 2 + 30 cm (11.8 in)] from the points FM and RM.

    A : Approx. 30 cm (11.8 in)
  6. Draw the lines of the points FL – RL and FR – RR with vinyl string, and fix it with packing tape.

  7. Put a mark on the center of each axle , draw vertical lines to the lines of the points FL – RL and FR – RR from the marks on the center of the axle using a triangle scale, and then fix the lines using packing tape.

    A : Approx. 60 cm (23.6 in)

    • If camera connecting condition is proper, replace camera and calibrate

    Different version of camera When the camera version recognized by the around view monitor C/U differs from the actual camera version Replace camera and calibrate
    Calibration data not existing Calibration has not been done Calibrate camera

  3. Recognize the target to around view monitor C/U by CONSULT.

    NOTE:

    • Perform outside of the vehicle and never move the vehicle.

    • After recognizing, allowed to enter the vehicle and adjust from inside of the vehicle.

  4. Recognition result is displayed in the navigation display.

    NOTE:

    • In case target T1 - T5 recognized automatically, the cross mark is displayed in the center of target.

    • In case target T1 - T5 does not recognized automatically, the target is enclosed by blue line frame.

    • The target T6 and T7 on outside are not recognized automatically.

  5. Touch the number displayed in CONSULT and check all the targets in the enlarged display.

    NOTE:

    Also enlarge the target that was automatically recognized and check that the cross mark is aligned with the center of the target.

  6. Checking the screen of the enlarged target, use the larger arrow button displayed on the CONSULT to adjust the cross mark to approach the target center.

  7. Move the cross line to center using the big arrow button. Adjust the cross line using the small arrow button until it is matched to the center of target.

    • Also check the enlarged screen for the automatically recognizable target, and adjust it if the cross mark and the target center are not aligned.

    • Adjust the approximate position with the arrow buttons of the bigger movements and make fine adjustments with the arrow buttons of the smaller movements to easily match the cross mark to the center of the target.
