BSW/BSI indicator light
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located inside the outside mirrors
illuminates. If the turn signal is then
activated, the BSW/BSI indicator light
flashes and a chime sounds twice. The
indicator light continues to flash until the
detected vehicles leave the detection zone.
The BSW/BSI indicator lights illuminate for
a few seconds when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position.
The brightness of the BSW/BSI indicator
lights is adjusted automatically dependingon 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
BSW/BSI indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. (See
“BSW/BSI driving
situations” later in this section.)

Warning systems switch
The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the BSW system when it is
activated using the settings menu on the
center display. See “How to enable/disable
the BSW system using the settings menu”
later in this section.
When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
*1on the switch is off.
The indicator will also be off if the BSW, the
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and the
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) systems
are deactivated.
For the LDW and FCW systems, see “Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) system/Lane

How to enable/disable the BSW
system using the settings menu
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the BSW system.
1. Push the SETTING

button.

5-36Starting and driving
NOTE:
.Warning and brake control will only be
activated if the BSW/BSI indicator light
is already illuminated when your vehi-
cle approaches a lane marker. If
another vehicle comes into the detec-
tion zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or
brake control will be activated. (See
“BSW/BSI driving situations” later in
this section.)
. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Pre-
vention (LDP) system when your vehi-
cle is approaching 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 center display. The BSI ON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the BSI system is
turned on.
The BSI system provides an audible warn-
ing and flashes the indicator light when
BSI system is activated even if the BSW
system is off.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
.The two radar sensor units*1for the
BSW and BSI systems are located near
the rear bumper. Always keep the area
near the radar sensors clean. Do not
attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area
around the radar sensors. Consult an
INFINITI retailer if the area around the
radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.
. The BSI system uses the same camera
*2that is used by the LDW/LDP system located in front of the inside mirror.
For maintenance of the camera, see “Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) system/Lane
Departure Prevention (LDP) system” earlier
in this section.

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CONTROL
. If the cruise control system malfunc-
tions, it will cancel automatically. The
SET indicator on the dot matrix crystal
display will then blink to warn the
driver.
. If the engine coolant temperature be-
comes excessively high, the cruise
control system will be canceled auto-
matically.
. If the SET indicator blinks, turn the
cruise control main switch off and have
the system checked by your INFINITI
retailer.
. The SET indicator may sometimes blink
when the cruise control main switch is
turned ON while pushing the ACCELER-
ATE/RESUME, COAST/SET or CANCEL
switch. To properly set the cruise
control system, perform the steps
below in the order indicated.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:
. when it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed

road and traffic conditions.
. In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning chime will not
sound to warn you if you are too close to
the vehicle ahead. Pay special attention
to the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead of you or a collision
could occur.

sound a warning chime and blink the
system display to notify the driver to take
necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed is below
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead. The system
will also disengage when the vehicle goes
above the maximum set speed.
See“Approach warning” later in this
section.
The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
. When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode maintains the speed set
by the driver. The set speed range is
between approximately 20 and 90 MPH
(32 and 144 km/h).
. When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode adjusts the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by driver, from the
vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed
range is up to the set speed. If the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill with-
in the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges a standstill with a warning chime.
. When the vehicle traveling ahead has
moved out from its lane of travel, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode accelerates and maintains vehi-
cle speed up to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach
stationary and slow moving vehicles. You
must pay attention to vehicle operation to
maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or
traffic congestion.
