2017 NISSAN ARMADA warning

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The BSI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is
not designed to prevent contact
with vehicles or objects. When
changing lanes, 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. Never rely solely on the BSI
system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar. Not every
moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI system
under some road, ground, lane mar-
ker, traffic or weather conditions
could lead to improper system op-
eration. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.
The BSI system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes and helps assist the driver to return the vehicle
to the center of the traveling lane.
JVS0910X
The BSI system uses radar sensors*Ainstalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition to the
radar sensors, the BSI system uses a camera
*Binstalled behind the windshield to monitor
the lane markers of your traveling lane.

SSD1030Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated.
This detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately
10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and
approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.

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.

BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSI system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.

JVS0761XIllustration 9 - Entering from the side
Illustration 9: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches the lane marker while
another vehicle is in the detection zone, the
system chimes (three times) and the side
indicator light flashes. The BSI system slightly
applies the brakes on the appropriate side to
help return the vehicle back to the center of the
driving lane.
JVS0742XIllustration 10 - Entering from the side
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
— When the ICC, DCA, PFCW or FEB
warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
.Under the following conditions, a chime will
sound, the BSI ON indicator light (green)
*1will blink and the BSI system will be turned
off automatically. The BSI system will not be
available until the conditions no longer exist.
— When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
— When the VDC system is turned off.
Action to take:
Turn off the BSI system and turn it on again
when the above conditions no longer exist.
. Under the following conditions, the BSI
system will be turned off automatically, a
chime will sound and the BSI system
warning light (orange)
*1will blink. The
BSI system is not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
— When the camera detects that the
interior temperature is high (over approxi-
mately 1048F (408C)) .
— When radar blockage is detected.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water,
mist or fog. The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or dirt
obstructing the radar sensors.

Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, turn
the BSI system off and turn it on again. If the BSI
system warning light (orange)
*1continues to
blink even after the BSI system is turned on
again, stop the vehicle in a safe location, place
the shift lever in the P (Park) position and turn
the engine off. Check for and remove objects
obscuring the radar sensors on the rear bumper,
and restart the engine.
If the BSI system warning light (orange)
*1continues to blink, have the BSI system
checked. It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSI system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound and
the BSI system warning light (orange) will
illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, turn the engine off
and restart the engine.
If the warning light (orange) continues to
illuminate, have the BSI system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors*Afor the BSI system
are located near the rear bumper. Always keep
the area near the radar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
ambient conditions such as splashing water,
mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the
radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing the
area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material) , install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer if
the area around the radar sensors is damaged
due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
*Bfor BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep the
proper operation of BSI 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 the screw located on the
camera unit. It is recommended you contact
a NISSAN dealer if the camera unit is
damaged due to an accident.

Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BCI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
. The BCI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedure, is not
designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects and does not
provide full brake power. When
backing out of parking spaces, al-
ways use the inside and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction
