2015 INFINITI QX60 HYBRID sensor

The sunload sensor, located on the top driver’s
side of the instrument panel, helps the system
maintain a constant temperature. Do not put any-
thing on or around this sensor.The air conditioner system in your INFINITI ve-
hicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the earth’s
ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is re-
quired when servicing your INFINITI air condi-
tioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubricants
will cause severe damage to your air conditioner
system. For additional information, refer to “Air
conditioner system refrigerant and oil recommen-
dations” in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
An INFINITI retailer is able to service your “envi-
ronmentally friendly” air conditioning system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrig-
erant under high pressure. To avoid per-
sonal injury, any air conditioner service
should be done only by an experienced
technician with proper equipment.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position and press the VOL (volume)/ON·OFF
(power) knob to turn the radio on. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the ignition
switch should be placed in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-
ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality
normally are caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance ra-
dio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the qual-
ity of that reception.
However, there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics are completely normal in a given re-
ception area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your INFINITI radio system.

●When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, tire pressure will not be
indicated, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your INFINITI retailer as soon
as possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
● Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
● Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.
CAUTION
●The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
● Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the win-
dows. This may cause poor reception of
the signals from the tire pressure sen-
sors, and the TPMS will not function
properly. Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate.
Some examples are:
– Facilities or electric devices using similar radio
frequencies are near the vehicle.
– If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is being used in or near the vehicle.
– If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/AC converter is being used in or near the
vehicle.

TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator provides visual
and audible signals outside the vehicle to help
you inflate the tires to the recommended COLD
tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shift lever into the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch to the ON position. Do not start the engine.
Starting and driving5-7

Operation:1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard indicators will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the hazard indica-
tors stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire. ●If the tire is over-inflated more than ap-
proximately 4 psi (30 kPa) , the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
three times. To correct the pressure, push
the core of the valve stem on the tire
briefly to release pressure. When the
pressure reaches the designated pres-
sure, the horn beeps once.
● If the hazard indicator does not flash
within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates that
the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator is
not operating.
● The TPMS will not activate the TPMS with
Tire Inflation Indicator under the following
conditions:
– If there is interference from an external device or transmitter. – The air pressure from the inflation device
is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS sys- tem.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or haz- ard indicators.
– The identification code of the tire pres- sure sensor is not registered to the sys-
tem.
– The battery of the tire pressure sensor is low.
● If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
does not operate due to TPMS interfer-
ence, move the vehicle about 3 ft (1 m)
backward or forward and try again.
If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator is not
working, use a tire pressure gauge.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than passen-
ger cars to make them capable of performing in a
variety of on-pavement and off-road applications.
This gives them a higher center of gravity than
ordinary vehicles. An advantage of higher ground clearance is a better view of the road, allowing
you to anticipate problems. However, they are not
designed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more
than low-slung sports cars are designed to per-
form satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If at
all possible, avoid sharp turns at high speeds. As
with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control
or vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.
For additional information, refer to “Driving safety
precautions” in this section.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe
and prudent manner may result in loss of
control or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times. Obey
all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed,
high speed cornering, or sudden steering ma-
neuvers, because these driving practices could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle. As with
any vehicle, loss of control could result in a
collision with other vehicles or objects or

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
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 BSW, BSI and BCI
systems 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.
● The BSW system operates above ap-
proximately 20 mph (32 km/h).
● The BSI system operates above ap-
proximately 37 mph (60 km/h).
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 in an adjacent lane. In addition to the radar
sensors, the BSI system uses a camera
1in-
stalled behind the windshield to monitor the lane
markers of your traveling lane.

5-32Starting and driving

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 detect
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.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. For additional information, refer to
“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.When the warning systems switch is turned off,
the indicator
1on the switch is off. The indicator
will also be off if the BSW, the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and the Forward Collision Warn-
ing (FCW) systems are deactivated.

BSW malfunction
When the BSW system malfunctions, the system
will turn off automatically, a chime will sound and
“Please see owner’s manual” will appear in the
vehicle information display.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the message continues
to appear, have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
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, refer to “BSW/BSI driving
situations” in this section. The BSI system
is typically activated earlier than the Lane
Departure Prevention (LDP) system when
your vehicle is approaching a lane marker.

WARNING
● The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW/BSI when cer-
tain objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a
stop. For additional information, re-
fer to “BSW/BSI driving situations”
in this section.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle. For additional
information, refer to “BSW/BSI driv-
ing situations” in this section.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. For additional information,
refer to “BSW/BSI driving situa-
tions” in this section. – A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “BSW/BSI driving situ-
ations” in this section.
– A vehicle that passes through the de- tection zone quickly.
● The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed 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 ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
● The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects, however
objects such as guardrails, walls, foli-
age and parked vehicles may occasion-
ally be detected. This is a normal driving
condition.
● Severe weather or road spray condi-
tions may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles.
● The camera may not detect lane mark-
ers in the following situations and the
BSI system may not operate properly.
