2017 NISSAN ARMADA warning light

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSI system operates above approximately
37 MPH (60 km/h) .
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
*1illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
If the BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another vehicle
is in the detection zone, the system chimes
(three times) and the side indicator light flashes.
Then the BSI system slightly applies the brakes
to help return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane. The BSI system operates
regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
.BSI warning and system application of
the brakes will only be activated if the
side indicator light is already illumi-
nated when your vehicle approaches a
lane marker. If another vehicle comes
into the detection zone after your
vehicle has crossed a lane marker, no
BSI warning or system application of
the brakes will be activated. (See “BSIdriving situations”
(P.5-49) .)
. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Pre-
vention (LDP) system when your vehi-
cle is approaching a lane marker.

Illustration 10: The BSI system will not operate if
your vehicle is on a lane marker when another
vehicle enters the detection zone. In this case
only the BSW system operates.
NOTE:
.The radar sensors may not detect a
vehicle which is traveling at about the
same speed as your vehicle when it
enters the detection zone.
. If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected. .
BSI braking will not operate or will stop
operating and only a warning chime
will sound under the following condi-
tions.
—When the brake pedal is depressed.
— When the vehicle is accelerated
during BSI system operation.
— When steering quickly

BCI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h) , the BCI system
operates.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from
the side or the sonar detects close stationary
objects behind the vehicle, the system gives
visual and audible warnings. If the driver does
not apply the brakes, the system automatically
applies the brake for a moment when the vehicle
is moving backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the brake
pedal to maintain brake pressure. If the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system

.The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar sensors
to detect other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material) , install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle. The
sonar sensor may not detect:
— Small or moving objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Object close to the bumper (less
than approximately 1 ft (30 cm))
— Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.
. The brake engagement by the BCI
system is not as effective on a slope
as it is on flat ground. When on a
steep slope the system may not function properly.
. Do not use the BCI system under the
following conditions because the
system may not function properly.
— When driving with a tire that is
not within 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 non-original brake parts or
suspension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle win-
dow) will interfere with the chime
sound, and it may not be heard.
