LDP system operation
The LDP system provides a lane departure
warning and brake control assistance when
the vehicle is driven at speeds of approxi-
mately 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 lane
departure warning 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 traveling
lane.
The warning and assist functions will stop
when the vehicle returns to a position
inside of the lane marker.

LANE CAMERA UNIT MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit*1for the LDW/LDP
system is located inside the map light
cover. To keep the proper operation of the
LDW/LDP systems and prevent a system
malfunction, be sure to observe the follow-
ing:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of sunlight may adversely affect the cam-
era unit’s capability of detecting the
lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch
the camera lens or remove the screw
located on the camera unit. If the
camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, contact an INFINITI retailer. The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system can
help alert the driver of other vehicles in
adjacent lanes when changing lanes.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) SYSTEM (if
so equipped)

5-28Starting and driving
SSD1155
The BSW system uses radar sensors*A
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle in an
adjacent 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 detect a vehicle in the detection
zone, the BSW indicator light illuminates. If
the driver then activates the turn signal, a
chime will sound twice and the BSW
indicator light will flash.
WARNING
. The BSW system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not
designed to prevent contact with vehi-
cles 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
system.
. The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass through
the detection zone quickly.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the BSW indicator light
next to the outside mirror will illuminate in
the direction of the detected vehicle. If the
turn signal is then activated, the BSW
indicator light flashes and a chime sounds
twice. The indicator light continues to flash
until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position.The brightness of the BSW 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 indicator light flashes and no chime
sounds. (See
“BSW driving situations” (P.5-
30).)
The BSW system is automatically turned on
when the engine is started and the warning
systems ON indicator light
*1illuminates
on the switch. You can turn the BSW system
off by pushing the warning systems switch
on the instrumental panel. This switch will
turn on and off the LDW, BSW and FCW
systems at the same time.
NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning
systems switch from off to on for over 4
seconds, a chime will sound. This will
change the default status of the LDW, BSW
and FCW systems to OFF so that these
systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this proce-
dure is repeated, the default status will

return to ON.
WARNING
Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
.The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
— Several types of vehicles such as
motorcycles
— Oncoming vehicles
— Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop
(See “BSW driving situations” (P.5-
30).)
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle
(See “BSW driving situations” (P.5-
30).)
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind. (See
“BSW driving situations” (P.5-
30).)
— A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
(See “BSW driving situations” (P.5-
30).)
. Severe weather or road spray condi-
tions may reduce the ability of the
radar to detect other vehicles.
. The radar sensors detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane, the
radar sensors may not detect vehicles
in an adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors may
detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may occa-
sionally be detected. This is a normal
operating condition.

BSW DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
The BSW 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 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.

SSD1037
Entering from the side
The BSW 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.
SSD1038
If the driver activates the turn signal, then
the BSW 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 BSW indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when another vehicle is
detected.
BSW temporarily not available
When radar blockage is detected, the BSW
system will be turned off automatically, a
beep will sound and the BSW system
warning light will blink. The BSW systemis not available until the condition no
longer exists.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog. The blocked
condition may also be caused by objects
such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Action to take:
When the above condition no longer exists,
the BSW system will resume automatically.
If the warning light continues to blink, have
the BSW system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
BSW MALFUNCTION
When the BSW system malfunctions, it will
be turned off automatically, a beep will
sound and the BSW system warning light
will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and restart the engine.
If the warning light continues to illuminate,
have the BSW system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.

maintains a selected distance from the
vehicle in front of you within the speed
range of 0 to 90 MPH (0 to 144 km/h) up to
the set speed. The set speed can be
selected by the driver between 20 to 90
MPH (32 to 144 km/h).
The vehicle travels at a set speed when the
road ahead is clear.
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes.
.
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode:
For maintaining a selected distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you up to the preset speed.
