2016 INFINITI QX60 HYBRID light

The BSI system 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 BSI system provides an au-
dible warning (three times) , flashes the BSW indi-
cator 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
BSW indicator light even if the BSW system is off.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the BSW 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 BSW 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 brake control will only be ac-
tivated if the BSW indicator light is already
illuminated 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
control will be activated. For additional in-
formation, refer to “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.The BSI system turns on when the dynamic driver
assistance switch on the steering wheel is
pushed when the “Blind Spot Intervention®” is
enabled in the “Driver Assistance” menu on the
vehicle information display. The BSI ON indicator
light on the instrument panel illuminates when the
BSI system is turned on.
The BSI system provides a chime and turns on or
flashes the BSW indicator light even if the BSW
system is off.

– When rain, snow or dirt adheres tothe windshield in front of a lane cam-
era unit.
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is
not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane cam- era unit. (For example: light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example: when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or under
a bridge.)
● Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
– During bad weather (For example: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift lane. – When driving on roads where the
lane width is too narrow.
– 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 BSI 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.
BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection
zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light
may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is
beside your vehicle. Always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direction your
vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes.

Illustration 2: If the driver activates the turn signal
then the system chimes a sound (twice) and the
Blind Spot Warning indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
BSW indicator light will flash but no chime
will sound when the other vehicle is de-
tected.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 BSW 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 vehicle
Illustration 5: The BSW indicator light illuminates
if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle stays in
the detection zone for approximately 3 seconds.
The radar sensors may not detect slower moving
vehicles if they are passed quickly.Illustration 6: If the driver activates the turn signal
while another vehicle is in the detection zone,
then the system chimes a sound (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes.
Illustration 7: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone the system
chimes a sound (three times) and the BSW indi-
cator light flashes. Then, the BSI system slightly
applies the brakes on the appropriate side to help
return the vehicle back to the center of the driving
lane.

if a vehicle enters the detection zone from either
side.
NOTE:
The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detection
zone.

Illustration 10: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the BSW indicator light flashes and a
chime will sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
BSW indicator light will flash but no chime
will sound when another vehicle is de-
tected.Illustration 11: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches the lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the BSW indica-
tor light flashes and a chime will sound three
times. Then, the BSI system slightly applies the
brakes on the appropriate side to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the driving lane.
NOTE:
● Illustration 12: The BSI system will not oper-
ate if your vehicle is on a lane marker when
another vehicle enters the detection zone. In
this case, only the BSW system operates.
● BSI braking will not operate or will stop
operating and only a warning chime will
sound under the following conditions:
– When the brake pedal is depressed.
– When the vehicle is accelerated during BSI system operation.
– When steering quickly.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When any of the following messages appear on
the vehicle information display, a chime will sound
and the BSI system will be turned off automati-
cally. ● “Unavailable Road is slippery”:
When the VDC system (except traction con-
trol system function) or ABS operates.
● “Unavailable VDC OFF”:
When the VDC system is turned off.
● “Unavailable Snow mode active”:
When the drive mode select switch is turned
to the SNOW mode.
● “Unavailable High Cabin Temp.”:
When the camera detects that the interior
temperature is high (over approximately
104°F (40°C)) . ●
“Unavailable Side Radar Obstruction”:
When side radar blockage is detected.
Turn off the BSI system and turn it on again when
the above conditions no longer exist.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSI system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound and
the BSI system warning light (orange) will illumi-
nate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the hybrid
system off and restart the hybrid system. If the
warning light (orange) continues to illuminate,
have the system checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. The two radar
sensors
2for the BSI system are located near
the rear bumper. To keep the proper operation of
the BSI system and prevent a system malfunc-
tion, be sure to observe the following:
● Always keep the windshield and the area
near the radar sensors clean.
