SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor 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 addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors.Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer if the area around the radar sensors
is damaged due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
for 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 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.
.Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. It is recommended you
contact an INFINITI retailer if the cam-
era unit is damaged due to an accident.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the DCA
system could result in serious personal
injury or death.
.Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the DCA system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
DCA system. To avoid serious injury
or death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the
vehicle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the DCA system
except in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
.This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
.As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the DCA system. This sys-
tem does not correct careless, inat-
tentive or absent-minded driving, or
overcome poor visibility in rain, fog,
or other bad weather. Decelerate thevehicle speed by depressing the brake
pedal, depending on the distance to
the vehicle ahead and the surround-
ing circumstances in order to main-
tain a safe distance between vehicles.
.Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually decelerate to maintain the
proper following distance. The DCA
system may not be able to decelerate
the vehicle under some circum-
stances.
.This system only brakes and moves
the accelerator pedal upward to help
assist the driver to maintain a follow-
ing distance from the vehicle ahead.
Acceleration should be operated by
the driver.
.The DCA system does not control
vehicle speed or warn you when you
approach stationary and slow moving
vehicles. You must pay attention to
vehicle operation to maintain proper
distance from vehicles ahead.
.The DCA system automatically de-
celerates your vehicle to help assist
the driver to maintain a following
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Manually brake when deceleration is
required to maintain a safe distance
upon sudden braking by the vehicleahead or when a vehicle suddenly
appears in front of you. Always stay
alert when using the DCA system.
.If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,
the vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system.
The system will cancel with a warning
chime once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill. To prevent
the vehicle from moving, the driver
must depress the brake pedal.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the FEB
with pedestrian detection system could
result in serious personal injury or death.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system is a supplemental aid to the
driver. It is not a replacement for the
driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely.
It cannot prevent accidents due to
carelessness or dangerous driving
techniques.
.The FEB with pedestrian detection
system does not function in all driv-
ing, traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
The FEB with pedestrian detection system
can assist the driver when there is a risk of a
forward collision with the vehicle ahead in
the traveling lane or with a pedestrian.
JVS0865X
The FEB with pedestrian detection system
uses a radar sensorlocated behind the
grille of the front bumper to measure the
distance to the vehicle ahead in the same
lane.
For pedestrians, the FEB with pedestrian
detection system uses a camera
installed
behind the windshield in addition to the
radar sensor.

grille and windshield clean.
.Do not strike or damage the areas around
the sensors (ex. grille, windshield).
.Do not cover or attach stickers, or install
any accessory near the sensors. This
could block sensor signals, and/or cause
failure or malfunction..Do not attach metallic objects near the
radar sensor area (brush guard, etc.).

at all times.
The PFCW system can help alert the driver
when there is a sudden braking of a second
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle ahead
in the same lane.
