Illustration 3: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle is approaching a lane marker and a ve-
hicle is in the detection zone, the system chimes
a sound (three times) , and the Blind Spot Warn-
ing indicator light flashes. Then the BSI system
slightly applies the brakes on one side to help
return the vehicle back to the center of the driving
lane.NOTE:
Illustration 4: If you accelerate from a stop
with a vehicle in the detection zone, the
other vehicle may not be detected.Overtaking another vehicles
Illustration 5: The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light illuminates if you overtake a vehicle and that
vehicle stays in the detection zone for approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
The radar sensors may not detect slower moving
vehicles if they are passed quickly.

The BCI system uses radar sensors1installed
on both sides near the rear bumper to detect an
approaching vehicle and sonar sensors to detect
objects in the rear.
The radar sensors
1detect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft. (15 m)
away. The sonar sensors
2detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle up to approximately
4.9 ft (1.5 m)
3. If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from
the side or the sonar detects close stationary
objects behind the vehicle, the system gives vi-
sual and audible warnings. If the driver does not
apply the brakes, the system automatically ap-
plies the brake for a moment when the vehicle is
moving backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the brake
pedal to maintain brake pressure. If the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system
pushes the accelerator upward before applying
the brake. If you continue to press the accelera-
tor, the system will not engage the brake.

BCI system precautions
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:
– Illustration A: When a vehicle parked next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.
– Illustration B: When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration C: When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.

5-46Starting and driving

– Illustration D: When an approachingvehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-
ing lot aisle.
– Illustration E: When the angle formed by your vehicle and ap-
proaching 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.
● The brake engagement by the BCI sys-
tem is not as effective on a slope as it is
on flat ground. When on a steep slope
the system may not function properly.
● Do not use the BCI system 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.

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 of 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 sonar sys-
tem detects an object behind the vehicle
and the BCI system detects an approaching
vehicle at the same time the following indi-
cations are provided:
– The sonar system chime sounds
–
The Blind Spot Warning indicator light on
the side of the approaching vehicle flashes

RADAR MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW, BSI and
BCI systems are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist
or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing the
area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transparent ma-
terial) , install accessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. Consult an INFINITI retailer if the
area around the radar sensors is damaged due to
a collision.

PRECAUTIONS ON VEHICLE-TO-
VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL
MODE
The system is intended to enhance the operation
of the vehicle when following a vehicle traveling in
the same lane and direction.
If the distance sensor
Adetects a slower mov-
ing vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the
vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows the
vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle
and applies the brakes (up to 40% of vehicle
braking power) if necessary. The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 490 ft (150 m) ahead.
WARNING
●
This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
● The system is primarily intended for use
on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the
system in city traffic or congested areas.
● This system will not adapt automatically
to road conditions. This system should
be used in evenly flowing traffic. Do not
use the system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy rain or
in fog.
The distance sensor will not detect the following
objects: ● Stationary and slow moving vehicles
● Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
● Oncoming vehicles in the same lane ●
Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
WARNING
●As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control
system. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in
rain, fog, or other bad weather. Deceler-
ate the vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the surround-
ing circumstances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
● The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the Intelligent Cruise Control sys-
tem under the following conditions:
