PRECAUTIONS FOR LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
• LDW system is only a warning devic e to inform the driver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not
steer the vehicle or prevent loss of c ontrol. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• LDW system will not operate at s peeds below approximately 70 km/h (45 MPH) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.
• LDW system may not function proper ly under the following conditions:
- On roads where there are multiple parallel lane marker s; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with water, dirt or snow,
etc.
- On roads where the 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 LDW syst em 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 other vehicle in front of the vehicle, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection
range.
- When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of the lane camera unit.
- When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For exampl e, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or
under a bridge.)

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint Syst
em (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951647
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISS AN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.
Precaution for WorkINFOID:0000000009464801
• When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
• When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
• Protect the removed parts with a s hop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.
• Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
• If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with a new one.
• Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
• After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.
• Follow the steps below to clean components:
- Water soluble dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the dirty area.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Oily dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%) and wipe the dirty area.
• Then dip a cloth into fresh water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the detergent off.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline.
- For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.

• Solder the repaired area and wrap tape around the soldered area. NOTE:
A fray of twisted lines must be within 110 mm (4.33 in).
• Bypass connection is never allowed at the repaired area. NOTE:
Bypass connection may cause ITS communication error. The
spliced wire becomes separated and t he characteristics of twisted
line are lost.
Precaution for BSW System ServiceINFOID:0000000009464803
WARNING:
Be cautious of traffic conditions and ot her vehicles when performing a road test.
CAUTION:
• Do not use the BSW system when driving with free rollers or on a chassis dynamometer.
• Do not perform BSW ACTIVE TESTS while driving.
• Do not disassemble or alter the rear view camera.
• Do not use the rear view camera when removed from the vehicle.
• Do not disable the BSW system without the consent of the customer.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE BSW SYSTEM OPERATING
PROPERLY:
Rear view Camera Maintenance
The rear view camera for the BSW system is located in the truck lid. To keep the BSW system operating prop-
erly and prevent a malfunction, be sure to observe the following:
• Always keep the camera lens area clean.
• Do not attach bumper stickers (including transparent ma terials) or install an accessory near the rear view-
camera.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the rear view camera.
• Do not touch the camera lens (except for cleaning) or remove the rear view camera.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
• The BSW system can help alert the driver of ot her vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.
• The BSW system uses rear view camera near the rear bumper to detect vehicles in an adjacent lane.
• The rear view camera can detect vehicles on either si de of vehicle within the detection zone shown as illus-
trated.
• This detection zone starts from the back of the v ehicle and extends approximately 3.0 m (10 ft) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 13.0 m (10 ft) sideways.
• The BSW system operates above approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH).
• If the rear view camera detects vehicles in the detec tion zone, the Blind Spot Warning indicator illuminates.
• If the driver then activates the turn signal, a buzzer will sound twice and the Blind Spot Warning indicator will blink.
NOTE:
A buzzer sounds if the rear view camera has already detected vehicles when the driver activates the turn
signal. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after t he driver activates the turn signal, then only the Blind
Spot Warning indicator blinks and no buzzer sounds.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION DESCRIPTION
• Control unit enables BSW system.
• The control unit turns on the BSW system w hen the warning systems switch is turned ON.
• Rear view camera detects a vehicle in the adjacent l ane, and transmits the vehicle detection signal to control
unit.
• Control unit starts the control as follows, based on a vehicle detection signal, turn signal and dimmer signal transmitted from BCM via CAN communication:
- Blind Spot Warning indicator signal and Blind Spot Warning indicator dimmer signal transmission to rear view camera.
- Buzzer signal transmission to warning buzzer.
• Rear view camera transmits an indicator operation signal to the Blind Spot Warning indicator according to
Blind Spot Warning indicator signal and Blind Spot Warning indicator dimmer signal.
