LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the LDW system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper use of
the LDW system could result in serious in-
jury or death.
∙ This system is only a warning device toinform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer
the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is
the driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, keep the vehicle in the trav-
eling lane, and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
∙ The system will not operate at speeds be- low approximately 45 mph (70 km/h) or
if it cannot detect lane markers. ∙ If the LDW system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically, and “Malfunction:
See Owner’s Manual” will appear in the
vehicle information display. If "Malfunc-
tion: See Owner’s Manual” appears in the
vehicle information display, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop the ve-
hicle. Place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position and the ignition switch in the
OFF position and restart the engine. If
“Malfunction: See Owner’s Manual” con-
tinues to appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display, have the system checked. It
is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may
not be heard.
∙ Do not use the LDW system under the following conditions as it may not func-
tion properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads. – When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift or tempo- rary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear, low
tire pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, nonstandard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
The system may not function properly under
the following conditions:
∙ On roads where there are multiple paral- lel lane markers; lane markers that are
faded or not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers covered with
water, dirt, snow, etc.
∙ On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
∙ On roads where there are sharp curves.

1. Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light
2. BSW/RCTA Indicator
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 BSW/RCTA indica-
tor light
1illuminates. If the turn signal is
then activated, the system chimes (twice) and
the side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes.
The BSW indicator light continues to flash
until the detected vehicle leaves the detection
zone.
The side BSW/RCTA indicator light illumi-
nates for a few seconds when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the side BSW/RCTA indi-
cator light 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 BSW/RCTA indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. For additional
information, refer to “BSW driving situations”
in this section.

When the Distance Control Assist (DCA) sys-
tem is on, the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode cannot be turned on
even though the CRUISE ON/OFF switch is
pushed and held.
To turn on the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, turn off the DCA sys-
tem. For additional information, refer to “Dis-
tance Control Assist (DCA)” in this section.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging cruise con-
trol, make sure to turn the ON/OFF switch
off when not using the Intelligent Cruise
Control.To set cruising speed,
accelerate your vehicle
to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET
switch and release it. (The SET indicator will
come on in the display.) Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain
the set speed.
∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the previ-
ously set speed.
∙ The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills.
If this happens, manually maintain vehicle
speed. To cancel the preset speed,
use any of the
following three methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The SET indi- cator will go out.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The SET indicator will go out.
3. Turn the CRUISE ON/OFF switch off. Both the CRUISE indicator and SET in-
dicator will go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the COAST/SET switch.
2. Push and hold the ACCEL/RES set switch. When the vehicle attains the
speed you desire, release the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the ACCEL/ RES switch. Each time you do this, the
set speed will increase by about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the COAST/SET switch and release it.

WARNING
∙ Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-mable materials such as dry grass, waste
paper or rags. They may ignite and cause
a fire.
∙ Safe parking procedures require that both the parking brake be set and the
transmission placed into P (Park). Failure
to do so could cause the vehicle to move
unexpectedly or roll away and result in an
accident. Make sure the shift lever has
been pushed as far forward as it can go
and cannot be moved without depressing
the foot brake pedal. ∙ Never leave the engine running while the
vehicle is unattended.
∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm day
can quickly become high enough to cause
a significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets. 1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) po-
sition.
3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic when parked on an incline, it
is a good practice to turn the wheels as
illustrated.
∙ HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB
A:
Turn the wheels into the curb and move
the vehicle forward until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.
∙ HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB
B:
Turn the wheels away from the curb and
move the vehicle back until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.
∙ HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO CURB
C:
Turn the wheels toward the side of the
road so the vehicle will move away from
the center of the road if it moves.
4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position.

When the VDC system operates, theindicator in the instrument panel flashes to
note the following:∙ The road may be slippery or the system may determine some action is required to
help keep the vehicle on the steered path.
∙ You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and hear a noise or vibration from
under the hood. This is normal and indi-
cates that the VDC system is working
properly.
∙ Adjust your speed and driving to the road conditions.
For additional information, refer to “Slip indi-
cator light” and ”Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) OFF indicator light” in the ”Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
If a malfunction occurs in the system,
the
andindicator lights come on
in the instrument panel. The VDC system au-
tomatically turns off when these indicator
lights are on.
The VDC OFF switch is used to turn off the
VDC system. The
indicator illuminates
to indicate the VDC system is off.
When the VDC switch is used to turn off the
system, the VDC system still operates to pre-
vent one drive wheel from slipping by trans- ferring power to a non-slipping drive wheel.
The
indicator flashes if this occurs. All
other VDC functions are off and the
indicator will not flash.
The VDC system is automatically reset to on
when the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position then back to the ON position.
The computer has a built-in diagnostic fea-
ture that tests the system each time you start
the engine and move the vehicle forward or in
reverse at a slow speed. When the self-test
occurs, you may hear a clunk noise and/or
feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and is not an indication of a malfunc-
tion.
WARNING
∙ The VDC system is designed to help the driver maintain controllability but does
not prevent accidents due to abrupt
steering operation at high speeds or by
careless or dangerous driving techniques.
Reduce vehicle speed and be especially
careful when driving and cornering on
slippery surfaces and always drive
carefully. ∙ Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension. If
suspension parts such as shock absorb-
ers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars, bush-
ings and wheels are not INFINITI recom-
mended for your vehicle or are extremely
deteriorated, the VDC system may not
operate properly. This could adversely
affect vehicle handling performance, and
the
indicator may flash or both
the
andindicator lights may
illuminate.
∙ If brake related parts such as brake pads, rotors and calipers are not INFINITI rec-
ommended or are extremely deterio-
rated, the VDC system may not operate
properly and both the
and
the
indicator lights may illuminate.
∙ If engine control related parts are not INFINITI recommended or are extremely
deteriorated, both the
andindicator lights may illuminate.
