nonoriginal brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or
other vehicle.
●If the LDP system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The LDP system
warning light (orange) will illuminate in
the display.
●If LDP system warning light (orange)
illuminates in the display, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle. Turn the engine off and restart
the engine. If the LDP system warning
light (orange) continues to illuminate,
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-standard lane markers; or lane
markers covered 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 contrast-
ing 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 or dirt adheres to the wind-
shield 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 oc-
curs. (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 prop-
erly.

LDP system operation
The LDP system provides a lane departure warn-
ing 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 indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel will blink to alert the driver. Then, the LDP
system will automatically 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.
To turn on the LDP system, push the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering wheel
after starting the engine. The LDW indicator light
(green) on the instrument panel will illuminate.

LANE CAMERA UNIT
MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDW/LDP sys-
tem is located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of the LDW/ LDP systems
and prevent a system malfunction, be sure to
observe the following:
●Always keep the windshield clean.
●Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent 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 ad-
versely affect the camera 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 re-
tailer.This section contains the information about the
following systems:
●Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system
●Blind Spot Intervention® (BSI®) system
●Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI) system
(if so equipped)
WARNING
●The BSW and BSI systems are not a
replacement for proper driving proce-
dure 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
direction you will move to ensure it is
safe to change lanes. Never rely solely
on the BSW or BSI system.
●There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar. Not
every moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI and BCI sys-
tems under some road, ground, lane
marker, traffic or weather conditions
could lead to improper system opera-
tion. Always rely on your own operation
to avoid accidents.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW)
SYSTEM/BLIND SPOT
INTERVENTION® (BSI) SYSTEMS
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot
Intervention® (BSI) systems can help alert the
driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes.
The BSW system uses radar sensors
2in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other ve-
hicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent lane. In
addition to the radar sensors, the BSI system
uses a camera
1installed behind the windshield
to monitor the lane markers of your traveling lane.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 ex-
tends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) side-
ways.
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar sensors detects
vehicles in the detection zone, the Blind Spot
Warning indicator light illuminates. If the driver
then activates the turn signal, a chime will sound
twice and the Blind Spot Warning indicator light
will flash.

Detection zone
SSD1030
Starting and driving5-33

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.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind Spot Warning indicator light
located near the outside mirrors illuminates. If
your vehicle is approaching a lane marker, the
system chimes a sound (three times) and the
Blind Spot Warning indicator light flashes. Then
the system applies the brakes on one side of the
vehicle for a moment 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 Blind
Spot Warning indicator light is already illu-
minated when your vehicle approaches a
lane marker. If another vehicle comes into
the detection zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or brake
application will be activated. For additional
information see “BSW/BSI driving situa-
tions” in this section. The BSI system is
typically activated earlier than the Lane De-
parture Prevention (LDP) system when your
vehicle is approaching a lane marker.
