2014 INFINITI QX60 display

The BSI system operates above approximately
37 MPH (60 km/h). If the system detects a ve-
hicle in the detection zone and your vehicle is
approaching the lane marker, the BSI system
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 BSI system provides an
audible warning and turns on or flashes the Blind
Spot Warning indicator light even if the BSW
system is off.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) indica-
tor light located by the outside mirrors illumi-
nates. If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the BSW indicator
light flashes. The BSW indicator light continues
to flash until the detected vehicles leave the
detection zone.
The BSW indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position.The brightness of the BSW indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the bright-
ness 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/BSI driving situations”
in this section.
The BSW system automatically turns on every
time the engine is started, as long as it is acti-
vated using the settings menu on the vehicle
information display.

BCI system operation
WARNING
●Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before back-
ing up. The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The radar
sensors cannot detect every object such
as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles,
animals or child operated toy
vehicles
– A vehicle that passing at speeds
greater than approximately 15 MPH
(24 km/h)
●The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
a. When a vehicle parked next to you ob-
structs the beam of the radar sensor.
b. When the vehicle is parked in an
angled parking space.
c. When the vehicle is parked on inclined
ground.
d. When an approaching vehicle turns
into your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.e. When the angle formed by your vehicle
and approaching vehicle is small
●The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice build up on the vehicle
– Frost up on the vehicle
– Dirt up on the vehicle
●Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles
●The sonar sensors detect stationary ob-
jects behind the vehicle. The sonar sen-
sor may not detect:
– Small or moving objects
– Wedge-shaped objects
– Object close to the bumper (less than
approximately 1 ft. (30 cm))– Thin objects such as rope, wire and
chain, etc.
●Do not use the BCI systems under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
●Do not use the BCI systems when tow-
ing a trailer.
●Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
When the shift lever is placed in R (Reverse)
position, the BCI ON appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
5-46Starting and driving

If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) , the Blind Spot Warning indicator light on
the side the approaching vehicle flashes and a
yellow rectangular frame appears in display “A”.NOTE:
●In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite
direction (Illustration 2) , a chime may not be
sounded by the BCI system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.
●The sonar system chime indicating there is a
object behind the vehicle has a higher prior-
ity than the BCI chime (single beep) indicat-
ing an approaching vehicle. If the BCI sys-
tem detects an object behind the vehicle
and an approaching vehicle at the same time
the following indications are provided:– The sonar system chime sounds
– The Blind Spot Warning indicator light on
the side of the approaching vehicle
flashes and
– A yellow rectangular frame appears in
display.
If an approaching vehicle or object behind the
vehicle is detected when your vehicle is backing
up, a red frame will appear in the displayAand
the system will chime 3 times. Then, the brakes
will be applied momentarily. After the automatic
brake application, the driver must depress the
brake pedal to maintain brake pressure.
