2018 INFINITI QX30 audio

In addition to the roof mounted antenna
(where fitted) there is an antenna pattern is
printed inside the rear window.
CAUTION
•Do not place metalised film near the rear
window glass or attach any metal parts
to it. This may cause poor reception or
noise.
•When cleaning the inside of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the rear window antenna.
Lightly wipe along the antenna with a
dampened soft cloth.When installing large capacity wireless
equipment or a car phone in your vehicle, be
sure to observe the following cautions, oth-
erwise the new equipment adversely affect
the electronic control modules and electronic
control system harness.
WARNING
•A cellular phone should not be used for
any purpose while driving so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the use of
cellular phones while driving.
•If you must make a call while your vehicle
is in motion, the hands-free cellular
phone operational mode (if so equipped)
is highly recommended. Exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
•If a conversation in a moving vehicle re-
quires you to take notes, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
•Keep the antenna as far as possible
away from the electronic control mod-
ules.
•Also keep the antenna wire more than 8
inches (20 cm) away from the electronic
control system harness. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any harness.
•Adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio
as recommended by the manufacturer.
•Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.
•For details it is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer.

Illustration 2:If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes. The BSW indica-
tor light continues to flash until the detected
vehicles leave the detection zone.
NOTE
•The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
•The brightness of the BSW indicator lights
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 BSW indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. (See "Another ve-
hicle approaching from behind" later in this
section.)
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver ac-
tivates the turn signal.
WARNING
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example audio sys-
tem volume, open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
•The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as:
–Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
–Several types of vehicles such as mo-
torcycles
–Oncoming vehicles
–Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop.–A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
–A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
–A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
•Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
•The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed 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 ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
•The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally be
detected. This is a normal operating
condition.

–Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
–Oncoming vehicles.
–Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop.
–A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
–A vehicle that is too close to your
vehicle.
–A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
–A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.

•The radar sensors are designed to ignore

condition.
•The following conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other ve-
hicles:
–Severe weather
–Road spray
–Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
•Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass through
the detection zone quickly.
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The BSW indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is travel-
ling much faster than your vehicle, the indica-
tor light may not illuminate before the de-
tected vehicle is beside your vehicle. Always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction your vehicle will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes.

PROBLEMS WITH SONAR FUNCTION
Problem Possible causes/consequences and solutions
Only the red segments in the
sonar function displays are lit.
You also hear a warning tone for
approximately two seconds.
The sonar function is then
deactivated and the indicator light
on the sonar function OFF switch
lights up.The sonar function has malfunctioned and has been deactivated.
If problems persist, have the sonar function checked.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Only the red segments in the
sonar function displays are lit. The
sonar function is then deactivated.The sonar sensors are dirty or there is interference.
•Clean the sensors.•Switch the ignition back on.
The problem may be caused by an external source of radio or
ultrasound waves.
See if the sonar system functions in a different location.

the belt is in poor condition or loose, have
it replaced or adjusted. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
2. Have the belts checked regularly for con-
dition and tension in accordance with the
maintenance schedule as shown in a
separately provided Warranty Informa-
tion and Maintenance booklet.Replace the spark plugs according to the
maintenance schedule shown in a separate
maintenance booklet.
If replacement is required, it is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer.
Always replace spark plugs with recom-
mended or equivalent ones.
WARNING
Be sure the engine and ignition switch are
off and that the parking brake is engaged
securely.
