2017 INFINITI QX60 HYBRID brakes

LDW SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDW system provides a lane departure
warning function when the vehicle is driven at
speeds of approximately 45 mph (70 km/h) and
above and the lane markings are clear. When the
vehicle approaches either the left or the right side
of the traveling lane, a warning chime will sound
and the LDW indicator light on the instrument
panel will blink to alert the driver.
The warning function will stop when the vehicle
returns inside of the lane markers.
The LDW system is not designed to warn under
the following conditions.● When you operate the lane change signal
and change traveling lanes in the direction of
the signal. (The LDW system will become
operable again 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).
● When the BSI activates an audible warning
or when the brakes are automatically applied
by the system.
After the above conditions have finished and the
necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the
LDW functions will resume.

●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 LDP system
could result in serious injury or death.
The LDP system will operate when the vehicle is
driven at speeds of approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h) and above, and only when the lane
markings are clearly visible on the road.
The LDP system warns the driver with a warning
light and chime, and helps assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the traveling
lane by applying the brakes to the left or right
wheels individually (for a short period of time) . The LDP system monitors the lane markers on the
traveling lane using the camera unit
1located
above the inside mirror. When the camera unit
detects that the vehicle is traveling close to either
the left or the right of the traveling lane, the Lane
Departure Warning indicator light on the instru-
ment panel blinks in orange and a warning chime
sounds. When the LDP system is on, it will auto-
matically apply the brakes for a short period of
time, using the function of the Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system.

LDP SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDP system operates above approximately
45 mph (70 km/h). When the vehicle approaches
either the left or the right side of the traveling lane,
a warning chime will sound and the LDW indica-
tor light (orange) on the instrument panel will
blink to alert the driver. Then, the LDP system will
automatically apply the brakes for a short period
of time to help assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane.
To turn on the LDP system, push the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering wheel
after starting the hybrid system. The LDW indica-
tor light (green) on the instrument panel will illu-
minate. Push the dynamic driver assistance
switch again to turn off the LDP system. The
LDW indicator light will turn off.

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 remain-
ing 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
indicates that the LDP system is operating prop-
erly.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.
● When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
approach warning occurs.
●When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
● When driving on a curve at high speed.

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSI system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The BSI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, al-
ways use the side and rear mirrors and
turn and look in the direction you will
move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the BSI
system.
● There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar. Not
every moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI system under
some road, ground, lane marker, traffic
or weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid
accidents.
● The BSI system operates above ap-
proximately 37 mph (60 km/h).
The BSI system can help alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. The BSI system uses a camera
1installed be-
hind the windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane and radar sensors
2installed
near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles in
an adjacent lane.
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.

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.
