The warning systems switch will turn on
and off the Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system, the Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
system and the Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system at the same time.
The LDW system will sound a warning
chime and blink the lane departure warn-
ing light (orange) to alert the driver if the
vehicle is traveling close to either the left
or the right of a traveling lane with
detectable lane markers. (See“Lane De-
parture Warning (LDW) system/Lane De-
parture Prevention (LDP) system” in the“5.
Starting and driving” section.)
The BSW system will illuminate the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) indicator lights, lo-
cated 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) system” 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 traveling close to the vehicle
ahead. (See “Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system” in the“5. Starting and
driving” section.)
The warning systems switch is automati-
cally turned on when the engine is started,
and the warning systems ON indicator
*1on the switch illuminates.

and FCW systems to OFF so that these
systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this proce-
dure is repeated, the default status will
return to ON.

Automatic transmission P (Park) mechan-
ism:On a fairly steep hill, check that your
vehicle is held securely with the selector
lever in the P (Park) position without
applying any brakes.
Brake pedal: Check the pedal for smooth
operation. If the brake pedal suddenly
goes down further than normal, the pedal
feels spongy or the vehicle seems to take
longer to stop, see an INFINITI retailer
immediately. Keep the floor mat away from
the pedal.
Brakes: Check that the brakes do not pull
the vehicle to one side when applied.

the parking brake applied. If the parking
brake needs adjusted, see an INFINITI
retailer.
Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat
belt system (for example, buckles, an-
chors, adjuster and retractors) operate
properly and smoothly, and are installed
securely. Check the belt webbing for cuts,
fraying, wear or damage.
Seats: Check seat position controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. to
ensure they operate smoothly and that all
latches lock securely in every position.
Check that the head restraint/headrest
moves up and down smoothly and that
the locks (if so equipped) hold securely in
all latched positions.
Steering wheel:
Check for changes in the
steering conditions, such as excessive free
play, hard steering or strange noises.
