If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from the side, the system chimes a sound
(single beep), the Blind Spot Warning indica-
tor light on the side of the approaching ve-
hicle flashes and a yellow rectangular frame
appears in the display
A.NOTE:
∙ In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the op-
posite 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 chime (single beep)
indicating an approaching vehicle. If the
sonar system detects an object behind the
vehicle and the BCI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time the fol-
lowing indicators are provided:
–
The sonar system chime sounds
– The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light on the side of the approaching
vehicle flashes and

ing lot aisle.
– Illustration e: When the angle formed by your vehicle and approaching ve-
hicle is small.
∙ The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– 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 sen-
sors. These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
∙ The sonar sensors detect stationary ob- jects behind the vehicle. The sonar sensor
may not detect:
– Small or moving objects
– Wedge-shaped objects
– Objects 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 sys-
tem may not function properly.
∙ Do not use the BCI system under the fol- lowing conditions because the system
may not function properly:
– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g. 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 suspen-
sion parts.
∙ Do not use the BCI system when towing a trailer.
∙ Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol- ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.SYSTEM TEMPORARILY NOT
AVAILABLE
If the following messages appear on the ve-
hicle information display, a chime will sound
and the BCI system will be turned off auto-
matically:
∙ “Unavailable: High Accelerator Temp.”: If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F [40°C]) and then
started, the BCI system may be deacti-
vated automatically and the “Unavailable:
High Accelerator Temp” message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display for
a period of time.
When the interior temperature is re-
duced, turn off the BCI system and turn it
on again.
∙ “Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction”: When side radar blockage is detected.
When the blockage is removed, turn off
the BCI system and turn it on again.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the BCI system malfunctions, it will turn off
automatically, a chime will sound and the BCI
system warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the warn-
ing light (orange) continues to illuminate,
have the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The radar sensors1and the sonar sensors
2for 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 tempo-
rary 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 that you
visit an INFINITI retailer if the area around
the radar sensors is damaged due to a colli-
sion.

RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION
The RCTA system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle when the driver is
backing out of a parking space.
When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and
the vehicle speed is less than approximately
5 mph (8 km/h), the RCTA system is opera-
tional.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from either side, the system chimes (once)
and the side BSW/RCTA indicator light
flashes on the side the vehicle is approaching
from.

∙ If the engine coolant temperature be-comes excessively high, the cruise control
system will be canceled automatically.
∙ If the SET indicator blinks, turn the ON/OFF switch off and have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ The SET indicator may sometimes blink when the ON/OFF switch is turned on
while pushing the ACCEL/RES,
COAST/SET or CANCEL switch. To
properly set the cruise control system,
perform the steps below.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:
∙ When it is not possible to keep the vehicleat a set speed
∙ In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed
∙ On winding or hilly roads
∙ On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
∙ In very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
ON/OFF switch on. The CRUISE indicator
light in the vehicle information display will
illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle
to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET
switch and release it. The SET indicator light
in the vehicle information display will illumi-
nate. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal. Your vehicle maintains the set speed.
∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previ-
ously set speed.
∙ The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills.
If this happens, drive without the cruise
control. To cancel the preset speed,
use one of the
following three methods:
∙ Push the CANCEL switch; the SET indi- cator light in the vehicle information dis-
play goes out.
∙ Tap the brake pedal; the SET indicator light goes out.
∙ Push the ON/OFF switch off. Both the CRUISE indicator light and SET indicator
light in the vehicle information display go
out.
The cruise control is automatically canceled
and the SET light in the vehicle information
display goes out if: ∙ You depress the brake pedal while push- ing the ACCEL/RES or SET/COAST
switch. The preset speed is deleted from
memory.
∙ The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed.
∙ You move the shift lever to N (Neutral).
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods:
∙ Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the COAST/SET switch.

∙ Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch.When the vehicle attains the speed you
desire, release the switch.
∙ Push and release the ACCEL/RES switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed increases by about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
∙ Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the COAST/SET switch and release it.
∙ Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Release the switch when the vehicle
slows to the desired speed.
∙ Push and release the COAST/SET switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed decreases by about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle
returns to the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ICC system could
result in serious injury or death.
∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ICC system. Read and un-
derstand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do not rely
on the system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emergency
situations. Do not use the ICC system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions. The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and direc-
tion.
The ICC system uses a radar sensor
Alo-
cated on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the ve-
hicle speed so that your vehicle follows the
vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
