2013 INFINITI JX parking sensors

●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.

●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.

TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the
TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator provides visual
and audible signals outside the vehicle to help
you inflate the tires to the recommended COLD
tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift selector to the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch to the ON position. Do not start the engine.

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.

WARNING
●The BSW and BSI systems are not a
replacement for proper driving proce-
dure and are not designed to prevent
contact with vehicles or objects. When
changing lanes, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction you will move to ensure it is
safe to change lanes. Never rely solely
on the BSW or BSI system.
● The BCI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When backing out of parking
space, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direc-
tion you will move. Never rely solely on
the BCI system.
● There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar. Us-
ing the BSI and BCI systems under
some road, ground, lane marker, traffic
or weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid
accidents.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind spot warning indicator light
located inside the outside mirrors illuminates. If
the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes a sound (twice) and the Blind spot warn-
ing indicator light flashes. The Blind spot warning
indicator light continues to flash until the de-
tected vehicles leave the detection zone.
The Blind spot warning indicator lights illuminate
for a few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. The brightness of the Blind spot warning indica-
tor lights is adjusted automatically depending on
the brightness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have already
detected vehicles when the driver activates the
turn signal. If a vehicle comes into the detection
zone after the driver activates the turn signal, then
only the Blind spot system indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. See “BSW/BSI driving
situations” in this section.

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you have a flat tire, follow the instructions be-
low:
Stopping the vehicle
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and
away from traffic.
2. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
3. Park on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Move the shift selector to P (Park) . 4. Turn off the engine.
5. Raise the hood to warn other traffic and to
signal professional road assistance person-
nel that you need assistance.
6. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and stand in a safe place, away from traffic
and clear of the vehicle.
WARNING
●Make sure the parking brake is securely
applied and the automatic transmission
is shifted into P (Park) .
● Never change tires when the vehicle is
on a slope, ice or slippery areas. This is
hazardous.
● Never change tires if oncoming traffic is
close to your vehicle. Wait for profes-
sional road assistance.
Blocking wheels
Place suitable blocks1at both the front and
back of the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire
2to prevent the vehicle from moving when it is
jacked up.
WARNING
Be sure to block the wheel as the vehicle
may move and result in personal injury.
