5-30Starting and driving

When the accelerator pedal is depressed
within the range of economy drive, the ECO
drive indicator light illuminates in green.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
above the range of economy drive, the ECO
drive indicator light turns off. For ECO pedal
system equipped models, refer to “ECO pedal
system” in this section.
The ECO drive indicator light will not illumi-
nate in the following cases:∙ When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
∙ When the vehicle speed is below 3 mph (4.8 km/h) or over 90 mph (144 km/h).
∙ When the Intelligent Cruise Control sys- tem (if so equipped) is operated.
ECO pedal system (if so equipped)
The ECO pedal system helps assist the driver
to improve fuel economy by increasing the
reaction force of the accelerator pedal. When
the ECO drive indicator light is blinking or
turns off, the ECO pedal system increases
the reaction force of the accelerator pedal.

When the ECO drive indicator illuminates in
green, the accelerator reaction force is nor-
mal. When the ECO drive indicator light is
blinking or turns off, the ECO pedal system
increases the reaction force of the accelera-
tor pedal.
The ECO pedal system may not vary accel-
erator reaction force under the following
conditions:
∙ When the shift lever is in the N (Neu-tral) or R (Reverse) position. ∙ When Intelligent Cruise Control (if so
equipped) is being operated.
If the ECO pedal system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The ECO pedal system
will not vary the reaction force of the accel-
erator pedal.
When the Drive Mode Selector switch is
pushed and the drive mode changes from the
ECO mode to another mode (STANDARD,
SPORT or PERSONAL) while the ECO pedal
system is operating, the ECO pedal system
continues to operate until the pedal is re-
leased.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly,
the ECO pedal system will not increase the
reaction force of the accelerator pedal. The
ECO pedal system is not designed to prevent
the vehicle from accelerating.
Adjusting the ECO pedal system reaction
force
The ECO pedal system reaction force can be
adjusted. The reaction force setting will be
maintained until the setting is changed even if
the engine is turned off.

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

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.
