NOTE:
.In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (illustration 1) or from the
opposite direction (illustration 2), a
chime may not be sounded by the BCI
system after the first vehicle passes the
sensors.
. The sonar system chime indicating there
is an object behind the vehicle has a
higher priority than the BCI chimes
(once) indicating an approaching vehi-
cle. If the sonar system detects an object
behind the vehicle and the BCI system
detects an approaching vehicle at the
same time, the following indications are
provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side of
the approaching vehicle flashes, and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears
in the display.

If an approaching vehicle or object behind
the vehicle is detected when your vehicle is
backing up, a red frame
will 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.

TURNING THE BCI SYSTEM ON/
OFF
The BCI system automatically turns on every
time the hybrid system is started.
The BCI system can be turned off tempora-
rily by touching the BCI system key
on the
display. The indicator on the BCI system key
turns off and the BCI OFF indicator appears
on the vehicle information display.
When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position again, the BCI system is
turned on.
HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
BCI SYSTEM
The BCI system can be turned off perma-
nently using the center display.
JVS1081X
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the BCI system.
1. Push the SETTING button
.
2. Touch [Camera/Sonar].
3. Touch [Camera].
4. Touch [Back-up Collision Intervention] to turn the system ON/OFF.
When the BCI system is disabled by touching
[Back-up Collision Intervention], the BCI
system does not turn on automatically by
the following operations:
. When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position
. When the engine is restarted

— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build up on thevehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle. The sonar
sensor may not detect:
— Small or moving objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Object close to the bumper (less than approximately 1 ft (30 cm))
— Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.
. The brake engagement by the BCI
system is not as effective on a slope
as it is on flat ground. When on a
steep slope the system may not
function properly.
. Do not use the BCI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly. — 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 sus-
pension parts.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.

Vehicle information display
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-
VAILABLE
Under the following conditions, a chime will
sound and “BCI NOT AVAILABLE” warning
will appear in the vehicle information display
, and the BCI system will be turned off
automatically.
. If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)).
. When side radar blockage is detected.
Turn off the BCI system and turn it on again
when the above conditions no longer exist.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the BCI system malfunctions, it will turn
off automatically, a chime will sound and
“BCI MALFUNCTION” warning will appear
in the vehicle information display
.
Action to take
Stop the vehicle in a safe location and place
the shift lever in the P (Park) position. Turn
the hybrid system off and restart the hybrid
system. If the warning message continues to
appear, have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the BCI 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.

MAIN (ON·OFF) switch
Push the MAIN switch
to choose the
cruise control mode between the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode and the con-
ventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode. Once a control mode is activated, it cannot
be changed to the other cruise control mode.
To change the mode, push the MAIN switchonce to turn the system off. Then push the
MAIN switchagain to turn the system
back on and select the desired cruise control
mode. Always confirm the setting in the ICC system
display.
For the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, see “Vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode” (P.5-68).
For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, see “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” (P.5-84).

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode operation
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is designed to maintain a selected
distance and reduce the speed to match the
slower vehicle ahead; the system will de-
celerate the vehicle as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC
system can only apply up to approximately
40% of the vehicle’s total braking power.
This system should only be used when traffic
conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain
fairly constant or when vehicle speeds
change gradually. If a vehicle moves into
the traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle
traveling ahead rapidly decelerates, the
distance between vehicles may become
closer because the ICC system cannot
decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this
occurs, the ICC system will sound a warning
chime and blink the system display to notify
the driver to take necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning chime
will sound if the speed is below approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a vehicle is
not detected ahead. The system will also
disengage when the vehicle goes above the
maximum set speed.
See “Approach warning” (P.5-77).The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
.
When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode maintains the speed set
by the driver. The set speed range is
between approximately 20 and 90 MPH
(32 and 144 km/h).
. When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode adjusts the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by driver, from the
vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed range
is up to the set speed. If the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill within the
limitations of the system. The system
will cancel once it judges a standstill with
a warning chime.
. When the vehicle traveling ahead has
moved out from its lane of travel, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed
up to the set speed.
The ICC 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 when approaching toll gates or traffic
congestion.
SSD0254
When driving on the freeway at a set speed
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle
ahead, the ICC system will adjust the speed
to maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle
ahead changes lanes or exits the freeway,
the ICC system will accelerate and maintain
the speed up to the set speed. Pay attention
to the driving operation to maintain control
of the vehicle as it accelerates to the set
speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
on winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you
will have to manually control the vehicle
speed.
