●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
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.
Starting and driving5-35
– 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.

HEADLIGHTS
Replacing the xenon headlight bulb
If replacement is required, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
WARNING
cHIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an electric
shock, never attempt to modify or disas-
semble. Always have your xenon head-
lights replaced by a certified service tech-
nician. For additional information, refer to
“Headlight and turn signal switch” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of this
manual.
FOG LIGHTS
Replacing the LED fog light bulb
If LED fog light bulb replacement is required, it is
recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.

LIGHTS
8-22Do-it-yourself
Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the
hood from opening when the primary latch is
released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other
corrosive materials, check lubrication frequently.
Lights*:Clean the headlights on a regular basis.
Make sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail
lights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all
operating properly and installed securely. Also
check headlight aim.
Road wheel nuts (lug nuts)*: When checking
the tires, make sure no wheel nuts are missing,
and check for any loose wheel nuts. Tighten if
necessary.
Tire rotation*: Tires should be rotated every
5,000 miles (8,000 km).
Tires*: Check the pressure with a gauge often
and always prior to long distance trips. If neces-
sary, adjust the pressure in all tires, including the
spare, to the pressure specified. Check carefully
for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components: Replace the TPMS
transmitter grommet seal, valve core and cap
when the tires are replaced due to wear or age. Tire, wheel alignment and balance:
If the
vehicle should pull to either side while driving on
a straight and level road, or if you detect uneven
or abnormal tire wear, there may be a need for
wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat
vibrates at normal highway speeds, wheel bal-
ancing may be needed.
For additional information regarding tires, refer to
“Important Tire Safety Information” (US) or “Tire
Safety Information” (Canada) in the INFINITI
Warranty Information Booklet.
Windshield: Clean the windshield on a regular
basis. Check the windshield at least every six
months for cracks or other damage. Have a dam-
aged windshield repaired by a qualified repair
facility.
Windshield wiper blades*: Check for cracks
or wear if they do not wipe properly.
Inside the vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming scheduled maintenance, cleaning the ve-
hicle, etc.
Accelerator pedal: Check the pedal for smooth
operation and make sure the pedal does not
catch or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mat
away from the pedal. Brake pedal:
Check the pedal for smooth op-
eration. If the brake pedal suddenly goes down
further than normal, the pedal feels spongy or the
vehicle seems to take longer to stop, have your
vehicle checked immediately. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Keep the floor mat away from the pedal.
Brakes: Check that the brakes do not pull the
vehicle to one side when applied.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
P (Park) position mechanism: On a fairly
steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely
with the shift lever in the P (Park) position without
applying any brakes.
Parking brake: Check the parking brake opera-
tion regularly. The vehicle should be securely held
on a fairly steep hill with only the parking brake
applied. If the parking brake needs adjustment, it
is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.
Seat belts: Check that all parts of the seat belt
system (for example, buckles, anchors, adjusters
and retractors) operate properly and smoothly,
and are installed securely. Check the belt web-
bing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.
Seats: Check seat position controls such as
seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc., to ensure
they operate smoothly and all latches lock se-
