HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
LDW SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the LDW system.
1. Push the MENU button
and touch
[Driver Assistance] on the lower display.
2. Touch [Lane Assist].
3. Touch [Lane Departure Warning] to enable or disable the system.
LDP SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDP system operates above approxi-
mately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and when the
lane markings are clear.
If the vehicle approaches either the left or
right side of the traveling lane, the driver
assist system lane indicator (orange) in the
vehicle information display will blink and a
warning chime will sound. Then, the LDP
system will automatically assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane.
NOTE:
.The LDP system is not designed to work
when you operate the lane change signal
and change traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDP system will
become operable again approximately 2
seconds after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
. The LDP will not operate or will stop
operating and only a warning chime will
sound under the following conditions.
— When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary for the vehicle to
change lanes.
— When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
— When the Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC), Distance Control Assist (DCA), Blind Spot Intervention
®(BSI), Blind
Spot Warning (BSW), Predictive For-
ward Collision Warning (PFCW) or
Forward Emergency Braking (FEB)
approach warning occurs.
— When the BSI system activates.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.

TURNING THE LDP SYSTEM ON/
OFF
To turn on the LDP system, push the
dynamic driver assistance switchon the
steering wheel after starting the INFINITI
Direct Response Hybrid
®System. The driver
assist system lane indicator (green)in the
vehicle information display will illuminate.
Push the dynamic driver assistance switch

assist system lane indicatorwill turn off.
The dynamic driver assistance switch
is
used for LDP, Active Lane Control, Blind
Spot Intervention
®(BSI) and Distance Con-
trol Assist (DCA) systems. When the dy-
namic driver assistance switch
is pushed,
Active Lane Control, BSI and DCA systems
will also turn on or off simultaneously. The
LDP system can be individually set to on or

LDW/LDP SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the LDW and LDP systems. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result in
serious injury or death.
.The system will not operate at speeds
below 45 MPH (70 km/h) or if it
cannot detect lane markers.
. The LDP system is primarily intended
for use on well-developed freeways
or highways. It may not detect the
lane markers in certain roads, weath-
er or driving conditions.
. Do not use the LDP system under the
following conditions as it may not
function properly:
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
— When driving on winding or un- even 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 without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original steering parts or sus-
pension parts.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the LDW and LDP systems may
not operate properly.
— On roads where there are multi- ple parallel 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 contrasting objects, such as sha-
dows, snow, water, wheel ruts,

seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW and LDP
systems could detect these items
as lane markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane marker.
— When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs 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 camera unit. (For example, the
light directly shines on the front
of the vehicle at sunrise or sun-
set.)
— When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs. (For example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.) .
Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitfor LDW/LDP
systems is located above the inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of LDW/LDP
systems and prevent a system malfunction,
be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers.

Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated. This detec-
tion 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.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
NOTE:
.The side indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
. The brightness of the side indicator
lights is adjusted automatically depend-
ing on the brightness of the ambient
light.
. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn
signal, then only the side indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. (See “BSW
driving situations” (P.5-42).)

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-
VAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the BSW
system will be turned off automatically, a
chime will sound and the “side radar ob-
struction” warning message will appear in
the vehicle information display
.
The system is not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
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.
