2011 INFINITI QX lights

The BSW system will illuminate the BSW indi-
cator lights, located next to the outside mirrors,
when the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is activated in
the direction of the detected vehicle, a chime
sounds twice and the BSW indicator light will
flash. (See “BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) SYS-
TEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)
The FCW system will sound a warning chime
and the vehicle ahead detection indicator light
blinks to alert the driver if the vehicle is travel-
ing close to the vehicle ahead. (See “FORWARD
COLLISION WARNING (FCW) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.)
The warning systems switch is automatically
turned on when the engine is started, and the
warning systems ON indicator
1on the switch
illuminates.
To cancel the warning systems, push the warn-
ing systems switch to turn off the system. The
warning systems ON indicator will turn off. NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning systems
switch from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default status of
the LDW, BSW and FCW systems to OFF so that
these systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this procedure is
repeated, the default status will return to ON.
The warning systems switch is used to turn on
and off the warning systems (Forward Collision
Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
and Blind Spot Warning (BSW) systems) that are
activated using the settings menu on the center
display.
When the warning systems switch is turned off,
the indicator
1on the switch is off. The
indicator will also be off if all of the warning
systems are deactivated using the settings
menu.

Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters
into one built-in device.
HomeLink Universal Transceiver:
● Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) de-
vices such as garage doors, gates, home and
office lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
● Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink will retain all program-
ming.
Once HomeLink Universal Transceiver is pro-
grammed, retain the original transmitter for fu-
ture programming procedures (Example: new ve-
hicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver
buttons should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, see “PROGRAMMING
