2018 INFINITI Q60 lights

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.5-44).)

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 serious
injury or death.
.The BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
.The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSI when certain
objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.

— Vehicles remaining in the detec-
tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— A vehicle merging into an adja-
cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly
from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the
detection zone quickly.
.The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the radar
sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
.The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may oc-
casionally be detected. This is a
normal operation condition.
.The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situationsand the BSI system 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; nonstandard lane
markers; 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.
— On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di-
rection does not align with the
lane markers.
— 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 a lanecamera unit.
— When the headlights are not
bright due to dirt on the lens or
if aiming is not adjusted properly.
— When strong light enters a lane
camera unit. (For example: light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
— When a sudden change in bright-
ness occurs. (For example: when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
.Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem 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 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.

The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC
system maintains the set vehicle speed,
similar to standard cruise control, as long
as no vehicle is detected in the lane ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by
controlling the throttle and applying the
brakes to match the speed of a slower
vehicle ahead. The system then controls thevehicle speed based on the speed of the
vehicle ahead to maintain the driver selected
distance.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
.When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator comes on.
The ICC system will also display the set
speed and selected distance.

The DCA system helps assist the driver to
keep a following distance to the vehicle
ahead by braking and moving the accelera-
tor pedal upward in the normal driving
condition.
When a vehicle ahead is detected:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator ap-
pears.
When the vehicle approaches a vehicle
ahead:.If the driver’s foot is not on the accel-
erator pedal, the system activates the
brakes to decelerate smoothly as neces-
sary. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still within the limitations of the system.
.If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward to assist the driver to
release the accelerator pedal.
When brake operation by the driver is
required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning
chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detec-
tion indicator. If the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal after the warning, thesystem moves the accelerator pedal upward
to assist the driver to switch to the brake
pedal.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the DCA
system.
.When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
Overriding the system:
The following driver’s operation overrides
the system operation.
.When the driver depresses the accelera-
tor pedal even further while the system is
moving the accelerator pedal upward,
the DCA system control of the accel-
erator pedal is canceled.
.When the driver’s foot is on the accel-
erator pedal, the brake control by the
system is not operated.
.When the driver’s foot is on the brake
pedal, neither the brake control nor the
alert by the system operates.
.When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system is set, the DCA system will be
inactive.

trian detection system will provide a warning
to the driver by flashing the FEB system
emergency warning indicator (red)
, pro-
vides an audible alert and the system will
apply partial braking. If the driver applies the
brakes quickly and forcefully but the FEB
with pedestrian detection system detects
that there is still the possibility of a forward
impact with a pedestrian, the system will
automatically increase the braking force. If
the risk of collision becomes imminent and
the driver does not take action, the FEB with
pedestrian detection system automatically
applies harder braking.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when any
braking is performed by the FEB with
pedestrian detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to
the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well as
driving and roadway conditions, the system
may help the driver avoid a forward collision
or may help mitigate the consequences of a
collision should one be unavoidable. If the
driver is handling the steering wheel, accel-
erating or braking, the FEB with pedestrian
detection system will function later or will
not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:.When the steering wheel is turned to
avoid a collision.
.When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
.When there is no longer a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected ahead.
If the FEB with pedestrian detection system
has stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will
remain at a standstill for approximately 2
seconds before the brakes are released.

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient
Driving Tips to help you achieve the most
fuel economy from your vehicle.
1. Use smooth accelerator and brake pedal
application.
.Avoid rapid starts and stops..Use smooth, gentle accelerator and
brake application whenever possible.
.Maintain constant speed while com-
muting and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain constant speed.
.Look ahead to try and anticipate and
minimize stops.
.Synchronizing your speed with traffic
lights allows you to reduce your
number of stops.
.Maintaining a steady speed can mini-
mize red light stops and improve fuel
efficiency.
3. Use air conditioning (A/C) at higher
vehicle speeds.
.Below 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
.Above 40 MPH (64 km/h), it is more
efficient to use A/C to cool the
vehicle due to increased aerodynamic
drag.
.Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.4. Drive at economical speeds and dis-
tances.
.Observing the speed limit and not
exceeding 60 MPH (97 km/h) (where
legally allowed) can improve fuel
efficiency due to reduced aerody-
namic drag.
.Maintaining a safe following distance
behind other vehicles reduces unne-
cessary braking.
.Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate
changes in speed permits reduced
braking and smooth acceleration
changes.
.Select a gear range suitable to road
conditions.
5. Use cruise control.
.Using cruise control during highway
driving helps maintain a steady speed.
.Cruise control is particularly effective
in providing fuel savings when driving
on flat terrains.
6. Plan for the shortest route.
.Utilize a map or navigation system to
determine the best route to save time.
7. Avoid idling.
.Shutting off your engine when safe
for stops exceeding 30-60 seconds
saves fuel and reduces emissions.8. Buy an automated pass for toll roads.
.Automated passes permit drivers to
use special lanes to maintain cruising
speed through the toll and avoid
stopping and starting.
9. Winter warm up.
.Limit idling time to minimize impact to
fuel economy.
.Vehicles typically need no more than
30 seconds of idling at start-up to
effectively circulate the engine oil
before driving.
.Your vehicle will reach its ideal oper-
ating temperature more quickly while
driving versus idling.
10. Keeping your vehicle cool.
.Park your vehicle in a covered parking
area or in the shade whenever possi-
ble.
.When entering a hot vehicle, opening
the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C system.
