2016 INFINITI QX60 Owner's Manual

●Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
The LDP system may or may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
●On roads where there are multiple par-
allel lane markers; lane markers that
are faded or not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-standard
lane markers; or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
●On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
●On roads where there are sharp curves.
●On roads where there are sharply con-
trasting objects, such as shadows,
snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines
remaining after road repairs. (The LDP
system 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 the vehicle in
front of you, 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 the headlights are not bright due
to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
●When strong light enters the lane cam-
era unit. (For example, the light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
●When a sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may hear a
sound of brake operation. This is normal and indi-
cates that the LDP system is operating properly.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the LDP
system are not designed to work under the fol-
lowing conditions:
●When you operate the lane change signal
and change the traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDP system will be
deactivated for approximately 2 seconds af-
ter the lane change signal is turned off.)
●When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
After the above conditions have finished and the
necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the
warning and assist functions will resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following conditions
(warning is still functional):
●When the brake pedal is depressed.
●When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary for the vehicle to change lanes.
●When the vehicle is accelerated during LDP
system operation.
Starting and driving5-35

●When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
approach warning occurs.
●When the hazard warning flashers are oper-
ated.
●When driving on a curve at high speed.
After the above conditions have finished and the
necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the
LDP system application of the brakes will resume.
Condition C:
If the following messages appear in the vehicle
information display, a chime will sound and the
LDP system will be turned off automatically.
●“Unavailable Road is slippery”:
When the VDC system (except Traction
Control System (TCS) function) or ABS op-
erates.
●“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.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, turn
off the LDP system. Push the dynamic driver
assistance switch again to turn the LDP system
back on.Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approximately
104°F (40°C)) and then the LDP system is turned
on, the LDP system may be deactivated auto-
matically and the following message will appear
on the vehicle information display: “Unavailable
High Cabin Temp.” When the interior tempera-
ture is reduced, the system will resume operating
automatically.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDP system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep the
proper operation of the LDP systems and prevent
a system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
●Always keep the windshield clean.
●Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near the
camera unit.

5-36Starting and driving

●Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability of
detecting the lane markers.
●Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. If the camera unit is damaged
due to an accident, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSW system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The BSW system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When changing lanes,
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. Never rely solely on the
BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.The BSW system uses radar sensors
1in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) (if so
equipped)
Starting and driving5-37

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.

1. Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light
2. BSW/RCTA Indicator
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 mph (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detec-
tion zone, the side BSW/RCTA indicator light (1)
illuminates. If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side BSW/RCTA
indicator light flashes. The BSW indicator light
continues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
The side BSW/RCTA indicator light illuminates
for a few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the side BSW/RCTA indicator
light is adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after
the driver activates the turn signal, then only the
side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. For additional information, refer to
“BSW 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.

grated into the BSW system. There is not a
separate selection in the vehicle information
display for the RCTA system. When the
BSW is disabled, the RCTA system is also
disabled.
●When the BSW system is turned on, the
BSW/RCTA indicator (white) in the vehicle
information display illuminates.
BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The BSW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
●The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as:
– Pedestrian, bicycles, 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.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
– A vehicle that passes through the de-
tection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in
a row, the vehicles after the first ve-
hicle may not be detected if they are
traveling close together.
●The radar sensors’ detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv-
ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen-
sors may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
5-40Starting and driving

●The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This is
a normal operation condition.
●The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/snow build-up on the
vehicle
– Dirt build-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.
●Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
