2017 NISSAN ARMADA brake

.Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the
system may not function properly.
— During bad weather. (For exam-
ple: 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 or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— 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.

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.
NOTE:
.The radar sensors may not detect
vehicles which are approaching rapidly
from behind.
. 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.

vehicle back to the center of the driving lane.
NOTE:
.When overtaking several vehicles in a
row, the vehicles after the first vehicle
may not be detected if they are travel-
ing close together.
. The radar sensors may not detect
slower moving vehicles if they are
passed quickly.

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.

Radio frequency statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules and RSS-310 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful inter-ference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Frequency of operation: 24.05GHz —
24.25GHz
Field Strength: Not greater than 2.5V/m peak
(0.25V/m average) at a distance of 3 m
The manufacturer is not responsible for any
radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized
modifications to this equipment. Such modifica-
tions could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.WARNING
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
you will move. Never rely solely on
the BCI system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Using the BCI system under some
road, ground, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper
system operation. Always rely on
your own operation to avoid acci-
dents.
The BCI system can help alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle or objects behind the
vehicle when the driver is backing out of a parking space.

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

pushes the accelerator upward before applying
the brake. If you continue to accelerate, the
system will not engage the brake.
JVS0197XBCI ON indicator
When the shift lever is placed in the R (Reverse)
position, the BCI ON indicator appears in the
vehicle information display.

If an approaching vehicle or object behind the
vehicle is detected when your vehicle is backing
up, a red frame
*Awill appear on the display
and the system will chime three times. Then, the
brakes will be applied momentarily. 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 moves the accelerator pedal upward
before the braking is applied. However, if you
continue to accelerate, the system will not
engage the brakes.
The BCI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.
