2017 INFINITI QX30 light

The engine can be switched off automatically a
maximum of four times (initial stop, then three
subsequent stops) in succession. The
Idle Stop/Start symbol is shown in yellow in the
vehicle information display after the engine has
been started automatically for the fourth time.
When the
Idle Stop/Start symbol is
shown in green in the vehicle information dis-
play, automatic engine switch-off is again pos-
sible.
NOTE
If the hood is opened while the engine is running
and the Idle Stop/Start function is operational,
the engine will switch off automatically.
If the vehicle is brought to a standstill in D or N,
the Idle Stop/Start function switches off the
engine automatically.
AUTOMATIC ENGINE START
The engine is started automatically if:
•You switch off the Idle Stop/Start function
by pressing the ECO button.
•You engage Reverse R or Drive D.
•You unfasten your seat belt or open the
driver’s door.
•The vehicle starts to roll.
•The brake system requires this.
•The temperature in the vehicle interior devi-
ates from the set range.
•The system detects moisture on the wind-
shield when the air-conditioning system is
switched on.
•The battery’s charge status is too low.
The engine is started automatically if you:
•Release the brake pedal in transmission
position D (Drive) or N (Neutral).
•Depress the accelerator pedal.
•Move the transmission out of position P
(Park).
Shifting the transmission to position P (Park)
does not start the engine.
If you shift the transmission from R (Reverse) to
D (Drive), the Idle Stop/Start function is avail-
able again once the
Idle Stop/Start
symbol reappears in green in the vehicle infor-
mation display.

If indicator lamp2on ECO button1is off, the
Idle Stop/Start function has been deactivated
manually or as the result of a malfunction. The
engine will then not be switched off automati-
cally when the vehicle stops.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use of the LDW system could result
in serious personal injury or death. The LDW
system will not steer the vehicle or prevent
loss of control. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
The LDW system warns the driver with a warn-
ing light and intermittent steering vibration that
the vehicle is beginning to leave the traveling
lane.The LDW system uses a camera
1installed
behind the windshield to monitor the lane
markers of your traveling lane.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Starting and driving5-29

•The LDW system is primarily intended for
use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways. It may not detect the lane markers in
certain roads, weather or driving condi-
tions.
•Do not use the LDW system under the fol-
lowing conditions as it may not function
properly:
–During bad weather (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 or tempo-
rary lane.
–When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
–When driving without normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels).
–When the vehicle is equipped with non-
original brake parts or suspension parts.
•The camera may not detect lane markers in
the following situations and the LDW sys-
tem may not operate properly.
–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 the 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 LDW
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 sun-
rise or sunset.)
–When a sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
–When there is poor visibility. (For ex-
ample, due to insufficient illumination of
the road, or due to snow, rain, fog or
spray.
–When there is glare. (For example, from
oncoming traffic, the sun or reflection
when the road is wet).

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the LDW system malfunctions, it will cancel
automatically, and the message [Lane Depar-
ture Warning Inoperative] will appear.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location,
engage P (Park), turn the engine off and restart the
engine. If the message continues to appear, have
the system checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDW system is
located above the inside mirror.
To ensure the proper operation of the LDW
system 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.
•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 parts from the camera unit. If
the camera unit is damaged due to an acci-
dent, it is recommended you contact an
INFINITI retailer.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
1Side indicator light
2Steering wheel mounted controls
3Vehicle information display
AMENU barThe BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (30 km/h). When the BSW is activated,
the side indicator light illuminates in yellow up
to a speed of 20 MPH (30 km/h). At speeds
above 20 MPH (30 km/h), the indicator light
goes out and the BSW system is operational.Illustration 1:If the radar sensors detect a
vehicle in the detection zone, the BSW indicator
light

Illustration 2:If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, 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.
NOTE
•The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
•The brightness of the BSW indicator lights 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 BSW indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. (SeeAnother vehicle ap-
proaching from behindlater in this section.)A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver acti-
vates the turn signal.
WARNING
•Do not use the BSW system when towing a
trailer because the system may not function
properly.
•Excessive noise (for example audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The radar sensors may not be able to detect
and activate BSW when certain objects are
present such as:
–Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
–Several types of vehicles such as motor-
cycles
–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 be-
hind.
–A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes
rapidly.
•Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to detect
other vehicles.
•The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar sen-
sors may not detect vehicles in an adjacent
lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the
radar sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
•The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however objects
such as guardrails, walls, foliage and
parked vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operating condition.

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 that is too close to your ve-
hicle.
–A vehicle approaching rapidly from be-
hind.
–A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes

•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 build-up on the vehicle
–Dirt build- up on the vehicle
•Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the ability of
the radar to detect other vehicles.
•Do not use the BSW system when towing a
trailer because the system may not function
properly.
•Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume,
open vehicle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be heard.
•The BSW system may not provide a warning
for vehicles that pass through the detection
zone quickly.
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The BSW indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone from
behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is travelling
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.
SSD1026ZIllustration 1 – Approaching from behind
Starting and driving5-39

Illustration 2: If the driver activates the turn
signal, then the system chimes (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes.
NOTE
•The radar sensors may not detect vehicles
which are approaching rapidly from behind.
•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 detected.
Accelerate from a stop
NOTE
Illustration 3: If you accelerate from a stop with a
vehicle in the detection zone, the other vehicle
may not be detected.
Overtaking another vehicle
When you overtake a vehicle, the warning only
occurs if the difference in speed is less than 7
MPH (12 km/h).
Illustration 4: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle
stays in the detection zone for approximately 3
seconds.
