2-22Instruments and controls

●Always look around and check that it is
safe to move before parking.
● Read and understand the limitations of
the sonar (parking sensor) as contained
in this section.
● The colors of the sonar indicators and
the distance guide lines in the front,
front-wide, rear and rear-wide views in-
dicate different distances to the object.
● Inclement weather or Ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car wash,
a truck’s compressed-air brakes or a
pneumatic drill may affect the function
of the system; this may include reduced
performance or a false activation.
● This function is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large stationary
objects to help avoid damaging the
vehicle.
● The system is not designed to prevent
contact with small or moving objects.
● The system will not detect small objects
below the bumper, and may not detect
objects close to the bumper or on the
ground.
● The system may not detect the follow-
ing objects: – Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,
cotton, glass or wool.
– Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
– Wedge-shaped objects.
● If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of ob-
jects or false alarms.
CAUTION
●Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
● Keep the surface of the sonar sensors
(located on the front and rear bumper
fascia) free from accumulations of
snow, ice and dirt. Do not scratch the
surface of the sonar sensors when
cleaning. If the sensors are covered, the
accuracy of the sonar function will be
diminished. The system gives the tone for front objects when
the shift selector is in the D (Drive) position and
both front and rear objects when the shift selec-
tor is in the R (Reverse) position.
When the camera image is shown on the display,
the system shows the sonar indicator regardless
of the shift selector position.
The system is deactivated at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h). It is reactivated at lower
speeds.
When the objects are detected, the indicator
(green) appears and blinks and the tone sounds
intermittently. When the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the color of the indicator turns yellow
and the rate of the blinking and the rate of the
tone increase. When the vehicle is very close to
the object, the indicator stops blinking and turns
red, and the tone sounds continuously.
The intermittent tone will stop after three seconds
when an object is detected by only the corner
sonar and the distance does not change.
The tone will stop when the object gets away
from the vehicle.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-45

●When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your INFINITI reatailer as soon
as possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
● Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
● Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.
CAUTION
●The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
● Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the win-
dows. This may cause poor reception of
the signals from the tire pressure sen-
sors, and the TPMS will not function
properly. Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate.
Some examples are:
– Facilities or electric devices using similar radio
frequencies are near the vehicle.
– If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
– If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near the
vehicle.

THE BSW AND BSI SYSTEMS:
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot
Intervention (BSI) systems can help alert the
driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes.
The BSW system uses radar sensors
2in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other ve-
hicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent lane. In
addition to the radar sensors, the BSI system
uses a camera
1installed behind the windshield
to monitor the lane markers of your traveling lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and ex-
tends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) side-
ways.
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar sensors detects
vehicles in the detection zone, the Blind spot
warning indicator light illuminates. If the driver
then activates the turn signal, the system chimes
a sound (twice) and the Blind spot warning indi-
cator light will flash.The BSI system operates above approximately
37 MPH (60 km/h). If the radar detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is ap-
proaching the lane marker, the system chime a
sound (three times) , the Blind spot warning indi-
cator light and slightly applies the brakes for a
moment on one side to help return the vehicle
back to the traveling lane.

THE BCI SYSTEM
The BCI systems can help alert the driver of
approaching vehicles or rear objects when the
driver is backing out of a parking space.
When the shift position is R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 MPH
(8 km/h), the BCI system operates.The BCI system uses radar sensors
1installed
on both sides near the rear bumper to detect an
approaching vehicle and sonar sensors to detect
objects in the rear.
The radar sensors
1detects the approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 15 m (49 ft.)
away. The sonar sensors
2and detect a rear
obstacle at up to approximately 4.9 feet (1.5 m)
3. If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from
the side or the sonar detects close objects in the
rear, the system gives visual and audible warn-
ings, and applies the brake for a moment when
the vehicle is moving backwards. After the auto-
matic brake application, the driver must depress
the brake pedal to maintain brake pressure. If the
driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal, the sys-
tem pushes the accelerator upward before apply-
ing the brake. If you continue to press the accel-
erator, the system will not engage the brake.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind spot warning indicator light
located near the outside mirrors illuminates. If
your vehicle is approaching a lane marker, the
system chimes a sound (three times) and the
Blind spot warning indicator light flashes. Then
the system applies the brakes on one side of the
vehicle for a moment to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the lane. BSI operates
regardless of turn signal usage.NOTE:
Warning and brake control will only be
activated if the Blind spot warning indica-
tor light is already illuminated when your
vehicle approaches a lane marker. If an-
other vehicle comes into the detection
zone after your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no warning or brake control will be
activated. For additional information see
“BSW/BSI driving situations” in this sec-
tion. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) system when your vehicle is ap-
proaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic driver
assistance switch on the steering wheel is
pushed when the “Blind Spot Intervention” is
enabled in the settings menu on the meter dis-
play. The BSI ON indicator light (green) on the
instrument panel illuminates when the BSI sys-
tem is turned on.
The BSI system provides a chime and turns on or
flashes the Blind spot warning indicator light
even if the BSW system is off.
How to enable/disable the BSI system
Perform the following steps to enable or disable
the BSI system.

5-36Starting and driving

The brake engagement by the BCI system
is not as effective on a slope, as it is on flat
ground. When on a steep slope, the sys-
tem may not function properly.
Do not use the BCI systems under the
following conditions because the system
may not function properly.– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
Do not use the BCI systems when towing a
trailer.
Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
When the shift selector is placed in R (Reverse)
position, the BCI ON appears in the meter dis-
play. If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) , the Blind spot warning indicator light on
the side the approaching vehicle flashes and a
yellow rectangular frame appears in the display.
NOTE:
● In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row or in the opposite direction, a chime
may not be issued to the BCI system after
the first vehicle passes the sensors.
● When the sonar system sounds a tone, the
BCI system does not chime this sound
(single beep) .

Entering from the side
The Blind spot warning indicator light illuminates
if a vehicle enters the detection zone from either
side.
NOTE:
The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detection
zone.If the driver activates the turn signal, then the
Blind spot warning indicator light flashes and a
chime will sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
Blind spot warning indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when another ve-
hicle is detected.
If the BSI system is on and your vehicle ap-
proaches the lane marker while another vehicle is
in the detection zone, the Blind spot warning
indicator light flashes and a chime will sound
three times. Then, the BSI system slightly applies
the brakes on one side to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the driving lane.
