2018 INFINITI QX60 brakes

LDP SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDP system operates above approxi-
mately 45 mph (70 km/h). When the vehicle
approaches either the left or the right side of
the traveling lane, a warning chime will sound
and the LDW indicator light (orange) on the
instrument panel will blink to alert the driver.
Then, the LDP system will automatically ap-
ply the brakes for a short period of time to
help assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane.
To turn on the LDP system, push the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering
wheel after starting the engine. The LDW
indicator light (green) on the instrument panel
will illuminate. Push the dynamic driver assis-
tance switch again to turn off the LDP sys-
tem. The LDW indicator light will turn off.

The LDP system may or may not operate
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 discontinued lane mark- ers are still detectable.
∙ On roads where there are sharp curves.
∙ On roads where there are sharply con- trasting objects, such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remain-
ing after road repairs. (The LDP system
could detect these items as lane
markers.)
∙ On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
∙ When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
∙ When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs 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 sun-
rise or sunset.)
∙ When a sudden change in brightness oc- curs. (For example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is nor-
mal and indicates that the LDP system is
operating properly.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the LDP
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions: ∙ When you operate the lane change signal and change the traveling lanes in the di-
rection of the signal. (The LDP system will
be deactivated for approximately 2 sec-
onds after the lane change signal is
turned off.) ∙ When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are satis-
fied, the warning and assist functions will
resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following condi-
tions (warning is still functional): ∙ When the brake pedal is depressed.
∙ When the steering wheel is turned as far as necessary for the vehicle to change
lanes.
∙ When the vehicle is accelerated during LDP system operation.
∙ When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) approach warning occurs.
∙ When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
∙ When driving on a curve at high speed.
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are satis-
fied, the LDP system application of the
brakes will resume.

The BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h). If the system de-
tects a vehicle in the detection zone and your
vehicle is approaching the lane marker, the
BSI system provides an audible warning
(three times), flashes the BSW indicator light
and slightly applies the brakes for a short
period of time on one side to help return the
vehicle back to the traveling lane. The BSI
system provides an audible warning and
turns on or flashes the BSW indicator light
even if the BSW system is off.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW indicator light lo-
cated near the outside mirrors illuminates. If
your vehicle is approaching a lane marker, the
system chimes a sound (three times) and the
BSW indicator light flashes. Then the system
applies the brakes on one side of the vehicle
for a moment to help return the vehicle back
to the center of the lane. BSI operates re-
gardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
Warning and brake control will only be acti-
vated if the BSW indicator light is already
illuminated when your vehicle approaches a
lane marker. If another vehicle comes into
the detection zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or brake
control will be activated. For additional in-
formation, refer to “BSI driving situations”
in this section. The BSI system is typically
activated earlier than the Lane Departure
Prevention (LDP) system when your vehicle
is approaching a lane marker.The BSI system turns on when the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering
wheel is pushed when the “Blind Spot Inter-
vention” is enabled in the “Driver Assistance”
menu on the vehicle information display. The
BSI ON indicator light on the instrument
panel illuminates when the BSI system is
turned on.
The BSI system provides a chime and turns on
or flashes the BSW indicator light even if the
BSW system is off.

However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator
light may not illuminate before the detected
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.Illustration 2: If the driver activates the turn
signal then the system chimes a sound (twice)
and the Blind Spot Warning indicator light
flashes.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the BSW
indicator light will flash but no chime will
sound when the other vehicle is detected.Illustration 3: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle is approaching a lane marker and a
vehicle is in the detection zone, the system
chimes a sound (three times), and the BSW
indicator light flashes. Then the BSI system
slightly applies the brakes on one side to help
return the vehicle back to the center of the
driving lane.

Illustration 7: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches a lane marker while an-
other vehicle is in the detection zone the sys-
tem chimes a sound (three times) and the
BSW indicator light flashes. Then, the BSI
system slightly applies the brakes on the ap-
propriate side to help return the vehicle back
to the center of the driving lane.NOTE:
Illustration 8: When overtaking several ve-
hicles in a row, the vehicles after the first
vehicle may not be detected if they are trav-
eling close together.

Illustration 9: The BSW indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from either side.
NOTE:
The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed as
your vehicle when it enters the detection
zone.Illustration 10: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the BSW indicator light flashes
and a chime will sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the BSW
indicator light will flash but no chime will
sound when another vehicle is detected.
Illustration 11: If the BSI system is on and
your vehicle approaches the lane marker
while another vehicle is in the detection zone,
the BSW indicator light flashes and a chime
will sound three times. Then, the BSI system
slightly applies the brakes on the appropriate
side to help return the vehicle back to the
center of the driving lane.

The BCI system uses radar sensors1in-
stalled on both sides near the rear bumper to
detect an approaching vehicle and sonar sen-
sors to detect objects in the rear.
The radar sensors
1detect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft (15 m)
away. The sonar sensors
2detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle up to approxi-
mately 4.9 ft (1.5 m)
3. If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close sta-
tionary objects behind the vehicle, the system
gives visual and audible warnings. If the driver
does not apply the brakes, the system auto-
matically applies the brake for a moment
when the vehicle is moving backwards. 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 pushes the ac-
celerator upward before applying the brake.
If you continue to press the accelerator, the
system will not engage the brake.
