Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot Intervention® (BSI)
(if so equipped)
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system alerts the
driver when another vehicle moves into the vehicle’s
detection zone.

An indicator light located near the outside mirror 1
will illuminate if the radar sensors detect a vehicle
in the detection zone.

The Blind Spot Intervention® (BSI) system can assist the driver in
returning the vehicle to the center of the traveling lane by applying
individual brake pressure to the left or right wheels for a short period\

of time.

The indicator light 2 will first illuminate in orange and then turn green
before extinguishing. This indicates that the Blind Spot Warning (BSW)\

and Blind Spot Intervention
® (BSI) systems are operational.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Automatic Anti-glare Mirrors
The inside rearview mirror and both outside mirrors are designed to auto\
matically change
reflection according to the intensity of the headlights of the vehicle f\
ollowing you.

The anti-glare system will be automatically turned on when the ignition \
switch is in
the ON position.
For more information, refer to the “Pre-driving checks and adjustments (section 3)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI) (if so equipped)
The Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI) system can help alert the dri\
ver of an approaching
vehicle or objects behind the vehicle when backing out of parking spaces\
.

The rear radar sensors detect the approaching vehicle from up to approxi\
mately
49 ft (15 m) from the bumper.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display
1 and
the low tire pressure warning light
2 will illuminate
when one or more tires are low in pressure and air
is needed.
• The tire pressures should be checked when the
tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after
the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or
driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.

After the tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above\
16 mph
(25 km/h). The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and low tire pressure warning
light
2 will extinguish.

When the low tire pressure warning light 2 flashes for 1 minute and then remains on, the
TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is recomme\
nded you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.

Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicl\
e’s operation and
the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperatu\
re of the air
inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This m\
ay cause the low tire
pressure warning light
2 to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire
pressure in your tires.
• Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always pr\
ior to long
distance trips.

The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Pl\
ease refer to the
“Technical and consumer information” (section 9) of your Owner’\
s Manual for the location
of the Tire and Loading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
