OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WARNING
.Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.
. Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
MIRRORS

.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 following
objects:
—Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth,
cotton, glass or wool.
—Thin objects such as rope, wire orchain.
—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 lever is in the D (Drive)
position and both front and rear objects
when the shift lever 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 lever
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 indi- cator (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 continu-
ously.
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.

Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster
®ions into the air blown
from the ventilators and reduces odor
absorbed into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions
automatically. The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions in-
creases according to the amount of air
flow. When the air flow is high, “
”is
displayed on the screen and when the air
flow is low, the indication in the screen
changes to “

Exhaust gas/outside odor detection sen-
sor:
This vehicle is equipped with an exhaust
gas detection sensor. When the automatic
intake air control is ON, the sensor detects
industry odors such as pulp or chemicals,
and exhaust gas such as gasoline or
diesel. When such odors or gas are
detected, the system automatically
changes from the outside air circulation
mode to the recirculation mode.
When the auto-recirculation button is
pushed under the following conditions,
the indicator light on the “
”button will
illuminate and the exhaust gas detection
sensor will turn on.
. The air flow control is not in the front
defroster mode (the indicator light on
the “
”front defroster button is

4-44Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
turned off).
. The outside temperature is about 328F
(08C) or more.
When the automatic intake air control is
ON, for the first 5 minutes, the recircula-
tion mode is selected to prevent dust, dirt
and pollen from entering the vehicle and
cleans the air inside of the vehicle with
positive and negative ions that are emitted
from the ventilator.
After the 5 minutes, the sensor detects
exhaust gas and automatically alternates
between the recirculation mode and out-
side air circulation mode.

OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, the air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
The sensors
*Aand*Blocated on the
instrument panel help maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or
around the sensors.

a flat tire.)
. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, 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 retailer 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 windows.
This may cause poor reception of the
signals from the tire pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some exam-
ples are:
.
Facilities or electric devices using simi-
lar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequen-
cies 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.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) AND
BLIND SPOT INTERVENTIONTMSYS-
TEMS
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind
Spot InterventionTMsystems can help alert
the driver of other vehicles in adjacent
lanes when changing lanes.
JVS0098X
The BSW system uses radar sensors*1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle in an
adjacent lane. In addition to the radar
sensors, the Blind Spot Intervention sys-
tem uses a camera
*2installed behind the
windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane.

Detection zone
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 extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3 m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10 ft (3 m) sideways.
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detect a vehicle in the detection
zone, the the Blind spot warning indicator
light illuminates. If the driver then acti-
vates the turn signal, a chime will sound
twice and the Blind spot warning indicator
light will flash. The Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem
operates above approximately 37 MPH
(60 km/h). If the system detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is
approaching the lane marker, the Blind
Spot Intervention
TMsystem provides an
audible warning (three times), flashes the
Blind spot warning indicator light and
slightly applies the brakes for a short
period of time on one side to help return
the vehicle back to the traveling lane. The
Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem provides
an audible warning and turns on or flashes
the Blind spot warning indicator light even
if the BSW system is off.
WARNING
. The BSW and Blind Spot InterventionTM
systems are not a replacement for proper
driving procedure 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 Blind
Spot Intervention
TMsystem. .
Using the Blind Spot Intervention
TM
system under some road, lane marker
or weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Always rely
on your own steering and braking
operation to avoid accidents.
. The BSW and Blind Spot Intervention
TM
systems may not provide a warning or
brake control for vehicles that pass
through the detection zone quickly.
