LDP SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the LDP system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper use
of the LDP system could result in serious
injury or death.
●The LDP system will not steer the ve-
hicle 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 LDP system is primarily intended
for use on well-developed freeways or
highways. It may not detect the lane
markers in certain roads, weather or
driving conditions.
● The LDP system may activate if you
change lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a
construction zone directs traffic to
cross an existing lane marker. If this
occurs you may need to apply corrective
steering to complete your lane change. ●
Because the LDP may not activate un-
der the road, weather, and lane marker
conditions described in this section, it
may not activate every time your vehicle
begins to leave its lane and you will
need to apply corrective steering.
● When the LDP system is operating,
avoid excessive or sudden steering ma-
neuvers. Otherwise, you could lose con-
trol of the vehicle.
● The LDP system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
● Do not use the LDP system under the
following conditions as it may not func-
tion properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) .
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs. – When driving in a makeshift or tem-
porary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-standard
wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with nonoriginal brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
● If the LDP system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The LDP system
warning light (orange) will illuminate in
the display.
● If LDP system warning light (orange)
illuminates in the display, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle. Turn the engine off and restart
the engine. If the LDP system warning
light (orange) continues to illuminate,
have the LDP system checked. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.

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,

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 indicatorlight 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.
