∙ When the headlights are not bright dueto 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 37 mph (60 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. Condition C:
If the following messages appear in the ve-
hicle information display the LDP system will
be turned off automatically:
∙ “Not Available Poor Road Conditions”: When the VDC system (except Traction
Control System [TCS] function) or ABS
operates.
∙ “Currently not available”: When the VDC system is turned off.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch (for vehicles without
ProPILOT Assist) or the ProPILOT Assist
switch (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist) on
the steering wheel again to turn the LDP
system back on.
Temporary disabled status at high temperature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approxi-
mately 104°F [40°C]) and then the LDP sys-
tem is turned on, the LDP system may be de-
activated automatically and the following
message will appear on the vehicle information
display: “Not available: High Camera Temp.”

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSW system
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The BSW system is not a replacement forproper driving procedures and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, 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.
Never rely solely on the BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when chang-
ing lanes. The BSW system uses radar sensors
1in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther side of your vehicle within the detection
zone shown as illustrated. This detection
zone starts from the outside mirror of your
vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft
(3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and approxi-
mately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSW system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The BSW system cannot detect all ve-hicles under all conditions.
∙ The radar sensors may not be able to de- tect and activate BSW when certain ob-
jects are present such as:
– Pedestrian, bicycles, animals.
– 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 approaching rapidly from behind. – A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes
rapidly.
– A vehicle that passes through the de- tection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the first vehicle
may not be detected if they are trav-
eling close together.
∙ 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 ad-
jacent 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 de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
∙ 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.
∙ Excessive noise (for example, audio sys- tem volume, open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system
will be deactivated automatically. The “Un-
available: Side Radar Obstruction” warning
message will appear and the
BSI/BSW/BCI/RCTA indicator (white) will
blink
Ain the vehicle information display.
The system is not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
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.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

Malfunction
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will turn
off automatically. The system malfunction
warning message with the
BSI/BSW/BCI/RCTA indicator (orange) will
appear in the vehicle information display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
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 mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW and
RCTA systems 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.

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSI system could
result in serious injury or death.
∙ The BSI system is not a replacement forproper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will move to en-
sure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely
solely on the BSI system.
∙ There is a limitation to the detection ca- pability of the radar or the sonar. Not
every moving object or vehicle will be de-
tected. Using the BSI system under some
road, ground, lane marker, traffic or
weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely on
your own operation to avoid accidents.
The BSI system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing
lanes and helps assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane. The BSI system uses radar sensors
2in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition to the
radar sensors, the BSI system uses a camera
1installed behind the windshield to monitor
the lane markers of your traveling lane.
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther side of your vehicle within the detection
zone shown as illustrated. This detection
zone starts from the outside mirror of your
vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft
(3.0 m) sideways.

2. BSI/BSW/BCI/RCTA indicator light
3. Dynamic driver assistance switch (formodels without ProPILOTAssist)
4. ProPILOT Assist switch (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist)
BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
1
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
If the BSI system is on and your vehicle ap-
proaches a lane marker while another vehicle
is in the detection zone, the system chimes
(three times) and the side indicator light
flashes. The BSI system activates to help re-
turn the vehicle back to the center of the
driving lane. The BSI system operates regard-
less of turn signal usage. NOTE:
∙ BSI warning and system application will
only be activated if the side indicator
light is already illuminated when your
vehicle approaches a lane marker. If an-
other vehicle comes into the detection
zone after your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no BSI warning or system appli-
cation will be activated. For additional
information, refer to “BSI driving situa-
tions” in this section.
∙ The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Preven-
tion (LDP) system when your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic
driver assistance switch (for models without
ProPILOT Assist) or the ProPILOT Assist
switch (for models with ProPILOT Assist) on
the steering wheel is pushed when the “Blind
Spot Intervention” is enabled in the “Driver
Assistance” menu in the lower 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 side indicator light even if the
BSW system is off.
