2018 INFINITI Q70 HYBRID light

5-28Starting and driving
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.

VAILABLE
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, a beep will
sound and the LDP system will be canceled
automatically. The LDP ON indicator light
(green)
will blink, and the LDP system
cannot be activated:
. When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
. When the VDC system is turned off.
. When the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector
is turned to the SNOW mode.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch
again to turn the
LDP system back on.
Condition B:
LDW system: If the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight under high temperature conditions
(over approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then
the LDW system is turned on, the LDW
system may be deactivated automatically,
and the warning systems ON indicator light
on the switch will blink.
LDP system: If the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight under high temperature conditions
(over approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then

the LDP system is turned on, the LDP
system will be turned off automatically, a
beep will sound and the LDP ON indicator
light (green)
will blink.
The LDW and LDP systems are not available
until the conditions no longer exist.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the LDW system will resume automatically.
For the LDP system, push the dynamic driver
assistance switch
again to turn the LDP
system back on.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
LDW system: When the LDW system mal-
functions, it will cancel automatically, and
the LDW indicator light (orange) will illumi-
nate.
LDP system: When the LDP system mal-
functions, it will be turned off automatically,
a beep will sound, and the LDW indicator
light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the
hybrid system off and restart the hybrid
system. If the LDW indicator light (orange)
continues to illuminate, have the system
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitfor the LDW/LDP
systems is located above the inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW/
LDP systems and prevent a system mal-
function, 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. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located
on the camera unit. It is recommended
you contact an INFINITI retailer if the
camera unit is damaged due to an
accident.

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 light illuminates for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
. The brightness of the side indicator light
is adjusted automatically depending 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. For addi-
tional information, refer to “BSW driv-
ing situations” (P.5-35).

TURNING THE BSW SYSTEM ON/
OFF
The warning systems switchis used to
turn on and off the BSW system when it is
activated using the settings menu on the
center display. See “How to enable/disable
the BSW system” (P.5-33). When the warn-
ing systems switch
is turned off, the
warning systems ON indicator lighton
the switch is off.
The warning systems switch
will turn on
and off the Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
and BSW systems at the same time.
HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
BSW SYSTEM
The BSW system can be turned off perma-
nently using the center display.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
. The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when cer-
tain objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate from a stop.
— 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 following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect
other vehicles:
— Severe weather

— Road spray
— Ice/frost/snow build-up on thevehicle
— Dirt build-up on the vehicle
. 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 to
detect other vehicles.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.BSW DRIVING SITUATIONS

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.
. If the driver activates the turn signal

zone, the side indicator light will flash
