sion parts.
. If the LDP system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The LDW light
(orange) on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
. If the LDW light (orange) illuminates,
pull off the road to a safe location and
stop the vehicle. Turn the hybrid system
off and restart the hybrid system. If the
LDW light (orange) continues to illumi-
nate, have the LDP system checked by
an INFINITI retailer.
. Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
The functions of the LDP system (warning
and system application of the brakes) may
or may not operate properly under the
following conditions:
.On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-stan- dard lane markers; lane markers cov-
ered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
. On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
. On roads where there are sharp curves.
. On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shadows,
snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines
remaining after road repairs. (The LDP
system could detect these items as
lane markers.)
. On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
. When the vehicle’s traveling direction
does not align with the lane marker.
. When traveling close to the vehicle in
front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
. When rain, snow, dirt or object adheres
to the windshield in front of the lane
camera unit.
. When the headlights are not bright due
to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
. When strong light enters the lane
camera unit. (For example, the light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.) .
When a sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you
may hear a sound of brake operation. This
is normal and indicates that the LDP
system is operating properly.

LDP system operation
The LDP system provides a lane departure
warning and can automatically apply the
brakes when the vehicle is driven at
speeds of approximately 45 MPH (70
km/h) and above. When the vehicle
approaches either the left or the right side
of the traveling lane, a warning chime will
sound and the LDW light (orange) on the
instrument panel will blink to alert the
driver. Then, the LDP system will automa-
tically apply the brakes for a short period
of time to help assist the driver to return
the vehicle to the center of the travelinglane.
The warning and assist functions will stop
when the vehicle returns to a position
inside of the lane marker.

Dynamic driver assistance switch
The LDP system turns on when the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering
wheel is pushed when the “Lane Departure
Prevention” is enabled in the settings
menu on the center display. The LDW light
(green) on the instrument panel illuminates
when the LDP system is turned on.

.When you operate the lane change
signal and change the traveling lanes
in the direction of the signal. (The LDP
system will be deactivated for approxi-
mately 2 seconds after the lane change
signal is turned off.)
. When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h).
. When the BSI system activates an
audible warning or brake control.
After the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions are
satisfied, the warning and assist functions
will resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following
conditions (warning is still functional):
. When the brake pedal is depressed.
. When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary for the vehicle to
change lanes.
. When the accelerator pedal is applied
during LDP system operation.
. When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
approach warning occurs.
. When the hazard warning flashers are
operated. .
When driving on a curve at high speed.
After the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions are
satisfied, the LDP system application of the
brakes will resume.
Condition C:
Under the following conditions, a beep will
sound and the LDP system will be canceled
automatically. The LDW light will blink in
green, and the LDP system cannot be
activated:
. When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
. When the VDC system is turned off.
. When the drive mode select switch is
turned to the SNOW mode.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch again to turn the
LDP system back on.
Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 1048F (408C)) and then the
LDP system is turned on, the LDP system may be deactivated automatically. The LDW
light (orange) will blink.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch again to turn the

The BSW system uses radar sensors*1installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle 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 (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detects vehicles in the detection
zone, the BSW/BSI indicator light illumi-
nates. If the driver then activates the turn
signal, a chime will sound twice and the
BSW/BSI 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
BSW/BSI indicator light and slightly ap-
plies the brakes for a short period of time
on one side to help return the vehicle back
to the traveling lane. The BSI system
provides an audible warning and turns on
or flashes the BSW/BSI 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 brake control for
vehicles that pass through the detection
zone quickly.

BSW/BSI indicator light
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located by the outside mirrors illumi-
nates. 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 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
BSW/BSI indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. (See
“BSW/BSI driving
situations” (P.5-39).)

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located by the outside mirrors illumi-
nates. If your vehicle is approaching a lane
marker, the BSW/BSI indicator light
flashes and an audible warning will sound
three times. Then the system applies the
brakes on one side of the vehicle 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 system application of the
brakes will only be activated if the
BSW/BSI indicator light is already
illuminated when your vehicle ap-
proaches a lane marker. If another
vehicle comes into the detection zone
after your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no warning or brake applica-
tion will be activated. (See “BSW/BSI
driving situations” (P.5-39).)
. 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.
