BSW/BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
The side indicator light illuminates if a
vehicle enters the detection zone from
behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is
traveling much faster than your vehicle,
the side indicator light may not illuminate
before the detected vehicle is beside your
vehicle. Always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direction
your vehicle will move to ensure it is safe
to change lanes.

If the driver activates the turn signal, then
the side 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 side indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when the other vehicle is
detected.
SSD1044
If the BSI system is on and your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the side
indicator light flashes and a chime will
sound three times. Then the BSI system
slightly applies the steering to help return
the vehicle back to the center of the driving
lane.

Overtaking other vehicles
The side indicator light illuminates if you
overtake a vehicle and that vehicle stays in
the detection zone for approximately 3
seconds.
The radar sensors may not detect slower
moving vehicles if they are passed quickly.

If the driver activates the turn signal while
another vehicle is in the detection zone,
then the side indicator light flashes and a
chime will sound twice.

If the BSI system is on and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the side
indicator light flashes and a chime will
sound three times. Then, the BSI system
slightly applies the steering to help return
the vehicle back to the center of the driving
lane.

When overtaking several vehicles in a row,
the vehicles after the first vehicle may not
be detected if they are traveling close
together.

Entering from the side
The side 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 detec-
tion zone.

If the driver activates the turn signal, then
the side indicator light flashes and a chime
will sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal

pears even after the BSI system is turned
on again, stop the vehicle in a safe location
and turn the engine off. Check for and
remove objects obscuring the radar sen-
sors on the rear bumper, and restart the
engine.
Condition C:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 1048F (408C)) and then the
BSI system is turned on, the BSI system
may be deactivated automatically. The
“high cabin temperature” warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle information
display.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
push the dynamic driver assistance switch
again to turn the BSI system back on.
BSW/BSI malfunction
When the BSW/BSI systems malfunction,
they will be turned off automatically, a
beep will sound, the and the system
“malfunction” warning message with the
driver assist system blind spot indicator
(orange) will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display. Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and restart the engine.
If the system malfunction warning message
with the driver assist system blind spot
indicator (orange) continues to be dis-
played, have the BSW/BSI systems
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
BACK-UP COLLISION INTERVENTION
(BCI) SYSTEM
The Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI)
system can help alert the driver of
approaching vehicles or rear objects when
the driver is backing out of a parking
space.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the BCI
system operates.JVS0233X

Cruise indicator
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise indicator and the set vehicle
speed are displayed in the vehicle informa-
tion display. The cruise indicator indicates
the staus of the cruise control system by
the color.
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 89 MPH (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accel-
erator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the
MAIN switch on. The cruise indicator
(white) will come on. To set cruising speed,
accelerate your
vehicle to the desired speed, push the
SET/COAST (-) switch and release it. (The
cruise indicator (green) will illuminates.)
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your vehicle will maintain the set speed.
. To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release
the pedal, the vehicle will return to the
previously set speed.
. The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
happens, drive without the cruise con-
trol.
To cancel the preset speed, follow any of
these methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch.
2. Tap the brake pedal.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off.
After any of the above operation is
performed, the color of the cruise indicator
will change from green to white.
. If you depress the brake pedal while
pushing the RESUME/ACCELERATE (+)
or SET/COAST (-) switch and reset at the
cruising speed, the cruise control will
disengage. Turn the MAIN switch off
once and then turn it on again. .
The cruise control will automatically
cancel if the vehicle slows more than
8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed.
. If you move the shift lever to N (Neutral)
position, the cruise control will be
canceled.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET/COAST (-)
switch.
. Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELER-
ATE (+) switch. When the vehicle attains
the speed you desire, release the
switch.
. Push, then quickly release the RESUME/
ACCELERATE (+) switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the SET/COAST (-) switch and release it.
. Push and hold the SET/COAST (-)
switch. Release the switch when the
vehicle slows down to the desired

PRECAUTIONS ON VEHICLE-TO-VE-
HICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
The system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and
direction.
If the radar sensor
*Adetects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce the vehicle speed so that your
vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the
selected distance.
The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to
approximately 40% of vehicle braking power) if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.
WARNING
.
This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’ s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
. The system is primarily intended for use
on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the
system in city traffic or congested areas.
. This system will not adapt automatically
to road conditions. This system should
be used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not
use the system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy rain or
in fog.
The radar sensor will not detect under
most conditions:
.Stationary and slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway .
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel
lane
WARNING
. As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) system. This system does not
correct careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome poor visi-
bility in rain, fog, or other bad weather.
Decelerate the vehicle speed by depres-
sing the brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in order to
maintain a safe distance between vehi-
cles.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
. The system may not detect the vehicle in
