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.
5-50Starting and driving

– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to thewindshield in front of a lane camera
unit.
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is
not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane cam- era unit. (For example: light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example: when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
∙ Do not use the BSI system under the fol- lowing conditions because the system
may not function properly.
– During bad weather (for example: rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift lane. – When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
– 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, nonstandard
wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
∙ Do not use the BSI systems 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.
BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The Blind Spot Warning indica-
tor light illuminates if a vehicle enters the
detection zone from behind in an adjacent
lane.
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.

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.

NOTE:∙ Illustration 12: The BSI system will not
operate if your vehicle is on a lane marker
when another vehicle enters the detec-
tion zone. In this case, only the BSW sys-
tem operates.
∙ BSI braking will not operate or will stop
operating and only a warning chime will
sound under the following conditions:
– When the brake pedal is depressed.
– When the vehicle is accelerated dur-
ing BSI system operation. –
When steering quickly.
– When the ICC, DCA, PFCW or FEB

sound.
– When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
– When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When any of the following messages appear
on the vehicle information display, a chime
will sound and the BSI system will be turned
off automatically.
∙ “Unavailable: Road is slippery”: When the VDC system (except traction
control system function) or ABS oper-
ates.
∙ “Unavailable: VDC OFF”: When the VDC system is turned off.
∙ “Unavailable: Snow mode active”: When the Drive Mode Selector switch is
turned to the SNOW mode. ∙ “Unavailable: High Cabin Temp. ”:
When the camera detects that the inte-
rior temperature is high (over approxi-
mately 40°C [104°F]).
∙ “Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction”: When side radar blockage is detected.
Turn off the BSI system and turn it on again
when the above conditions no longer exist.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSI system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound
and the BSI system warning light (orange) will
illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en-
gine off and restart the engine. If the warning
light (orange) continues to illuminate, have
the system checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BCI system could
result in serious injury or death.
∙ The BCI system is not a replacement forproper driving procedure, is not designed
to prevent contact with vehicles or ob-
jects and does not provide full brake
power. When backing out of a parking
space, always use the side and rear mir-
rors and turn and look in the direction you
will move. Never rely solely on the BCI
system. ∙ There is a limitation to the detection ca-
pability of the radar or the sonar. Using
the BCI systems under some road,
ground, lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper system
operation. Always rely on your own op-
eration to avoid accidents.
The BCI system can help alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle or objects behind the ve-
hicle when the driver is backing out of a park-
ing space.
When the shift position is R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than approximately
8 km/h (5 mph), the BCI system operates. The BCI system uses radar sensors
1in-
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 15 m (49 ft)
away. The sonar sensors
2detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle up to approxi-
mately 1.5 m (4.9 ft)

BACKUP COLLISION INTERVENTION
(BCI) (if so equipped)
5-60Starting and driving

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.
