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.Entering from the side
Illustration 9: The side 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 side 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 side
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 side 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.

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.
∙ “Not Available Poor Road Conditions”: When the VDC system (except traction
control system function) or ABS oper-
ates.
∙ “Currently Not Available”: When the VDC system is turned off.
∙ “Not Available: High Camera Temp”: When the camera detects that the inte-
rior temperature is high (over approxi-
mately 104°F [40°C]). ∙ “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.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. The two ra-
dar sensors
2for the BSI system are located
near the rear bumper. To keep the proper
operation of the BSI system and prevent a
system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
∙ Always keep the windshield and the area near the radar sensors clean.

5-64Starting and driving

∙ The radar sensors may be blocked bytemporary 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 ob-
jects obstructing the area around the ra-
dar sensors.
∙ Do not attach stickers (including trans- parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the camera
unit or radar sensors.
∙ Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.
∙ Do not strike or damage the area around the radar sensors. Do not touch the cam-
era lens or remove the screw located on
the camera unit. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer if the camera
unit and/or area around the radar sen-
sors is damaged due to a collision.

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 for
proper 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.

BACKUP COLLISION INTERVENTION
(BCI) (if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-65

∙ 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.
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 49 ft (15 m)
away. The sonar sensors
2detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle up to approxi-
mately 4.9 ft (1.5 m)

BCI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and
the vehicle speed is less than approximately
5 mph ( 8 km/h), the BCI system operates.
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.
When the shift lever is placed in the R (Re-
verse) position, the
key appears in the
upper display. The BCI system can be turned
off temporarily by touching the BCI system
key on the upper display.

If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from the side, the system chimes a sound
(single beep), the side indicator light on the
side of the approaching vehicle flashes and a
yellow rectangular frame appears in the dis-
play
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 side indicator light on the side of
the approaching vehicle flashes and
– A yellow rectangular frame appears
in the display
If an approaching vehicle or object behind the
vehicle is detected when your vehicle is back-
ing up, a red frame will appear in the display
Aand the system will chime three times.
Then, the brakes will be applied momentarily.
After the automatic brake application, the
driver must depress the brake pedal to main-
tain brake pressure.

If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal,
the system moves the accelerator pedal up-
ward before the braking is applied. However,
if you continue to accelerate, the system will
not engage the brakes.The system does not operate if the object is
very close to the bumper.
