Automatic deactivation
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the
LDP system are not designed to work under the following conditions:
.
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 Blind Spot Intervention
TM
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 de-
pressed while the brake control assist
is provided.

5-30Starting and driving
.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 brake control assist
function will resume.
Condition C:
Under the following conditions, a beep will
sound and the LDP system will be canceled
automatically. The LDP ON indicator 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 SNOW mode switch is turned
on.
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H
or 4L position (for 4WD models).
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system by pushing the
dynamic driver assistance switch. 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 lane
departure warning light (orange) will blink.
When the interior temperature is reduced,
turn off the LDP system by pushing the
dynamic driver assistance switch. Push the
dynamic driver assistance switch again to
turn the LDP system back on.

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. This section contains the information
about the following systems:

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) AND
BLIND SPOT INTERVENTIONTMSYS-
TEMS
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind
Spot InterventionTMsystems can help alert
the driver of other vehicles in adjacent
lanes when changing lanes.
JVS0098X
The BSW system uses radar sensors*1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle in an
adjacent lane. In addition to the radar
sensors, the Blind Spot Intervention sys-
tem uses a camera
*2installed behind the
windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane.

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.
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detect a vehicle in the detection
zone, the the Blind spot warning indicator
light illuminates. If the driver then acti-
vates the turn signal, a chime will sound
twice and the Blind spot warning indicator
light will flash. The Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem
operates above approximately 37 MPH
(60 km/h). If the system detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is
approaching the lane marker, the Blind
Spot Intervention
TMsystem 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
Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem provides
an audible warning and turns on or flashes
the Blind spot warning indicator light even
if the BSW system is off.
WARNING
. The BSW and Blind Spot InterventionTM
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 direction you will move
to ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSW or Blind
Spot Intervention
TMsystem. .
Using the Blind Spot Intervention
TM
system under some road, lane marker
or weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Always rely
on your own steering and braking
operation to avoid accidents.
. The BSW and Blind Spot Intervention
TM
systems may not provide a warning or
brake control for vehicles that pass
through the detection zone quickly.

Blind spot warning indicator light
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the Blind spot warning
indicator light located inside the outside
mirrors illuminates. If the turn signal is
then activated, the Blind spot warning
indicator light flashes and a chime sounds
twice. The indicator light continues to flash
until the detected vehicles leave the
detection zone.
The Blind spot warning indicator lights
illuminate for a few seconds when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position.The brightness of the Blind spot warning
indicator lights is adjusted automatically
depending on the brightness of the ambi-
ent 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
Blind spot warning indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. (See
“BSW/Blind
Spot Intervention
TMdriving situations”
later in this section.)
