5-6Starting and driving
For additional information, see“Low tire
pressure warning light” (P.2-14) and“Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ”(P.6-
3).
WARNING
. Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufacturer
for the possible influences before use.
. If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, avoid sudden
steering maneuvers or abrupt braking,
reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop the vehicle as
soon as possible. Driving with under-
inflated tires may permanently damage
the tires and increase the likelihood of
tire failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur and may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal
injury. Check the tire pressure for all
four tires. Adjust the tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown
on the Tire and Loading Information
label to turn the low tire pressure
warning light OFF. If the light still illuminates while driving after adjusting
the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire (if so equipped). (See
“Flat
tire” (P.6-3) for changing a flat tire.)
. Although you can continue driving with a
punctured run-flat tire, remember that
vehicle handling stability is reduced,
which could lead to an accident and
personal injury. Also, driving a long
distance at high speeds may damage
the tires.
. Do not drive at speeds above 50 MPH
(80 km/h) and do not drive more than
approximately 93 miles (150 km) with a
punctured run-flat tire. The actual dis-
tance the vehicle can be driven on a flat
tire depends on outside temperature,
vehicle load, road conditions and other
factors.
. If you detect any unusual sounds or
vibrations while driving with a punctured
run-flat tire, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. The tire may be seriously
damaged and need to be replaced.
. 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

This section contains the information
about the following systems:
.Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system
. Blind Spot Intervention
TM(BSI) system
. Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI)
system
BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) SYS-
TEM/BLIND SPOT INTERVENTIONTM
(BSI) SYSTEM
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind
Spot InterventionTM(BSI) systems can help
alert the driver of other vehicles in
adjacent lanes when changing lanes.
JVS0232X
The BSW system uses radar sensors*1installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In
addition to the radar sensors, the BSI
system uses a camera
*2installed behind
the windshield to monitor the lane markers
of your traveling lane.
SSD1030
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.

Side indicator light
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detect vehicles in the detection
zone, the side indicator light illuminates. If
the driver then activates the turn signal, a
chime will sound twice and the side
indicator light will flash.
The BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 MPH (60 km/h). If the system
detects a vehicle in the detection zone and
your vehicle is approaching the lane
marker, the BSI system provides an audi-
ble warning (three times), flashes the side
indicator light and slightly applies the
steering for a short period of time to help return the vehicle back to the traveling
lane. The BSI system provides an audible
warning and turns on or flashes the side
indicator light even if the BSW system is
off.
WARNING
.
The BSW and BSI 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 direc-
tion you will move to ensure it is safe to
change lanes. Never rely solely on the
BSW or BSI system.
. Using the BSI system under some road,
lane marker or weather conditions could
lead to improper system operation. Al-
ways rely on your own steering and
braking operation to avoid accidents.
. The BSW and BSI systems may not
provide a warning or steering control
for vehicles that pass through the
detection zone quickly.
SSD1028
Side indicator light
BSW system operation
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
located inside the vehicle (near the outside
mirrors) illuminates. If the turn signal is
then activated, the side indicator light
flashes and a chime sounds twice. The
side indicator light continues to flash until
the detected vehicles leave the detection
zone.
The side indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.

The brightness of the side indicator 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 side
indicator light flashes and no chime
sounds. (See“BSW/BSI driving situations”
(P.5-43).)

Side indicator light
BSI system operation
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
located inside the vehicle (near the outside
mirrors) illuminates. If your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the side
indicator light flashes and an audible
warning will sound three times. Then the
system applies the steering for a short
period of time to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the lane. BSI operates
regardless of turn signal usage.NOTE:
.
Warning and steering control will only
be activated if the side 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
steering control will be activated. (See
“BSW/BSI driving situations” (P.5-43).)
. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Pre-
vention (LDP) system when your vehi-
cle is approaching a lane marker.
