BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the side 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
side 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 side 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
Aon 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.
5-50Starting and driving
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.
∙ “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 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.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the BCI system malfunctions, it will turn off
automatically, a chime will sound and the BCI
system warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the warn-
ing light (orange) continues to illuminate,
have the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The radar sensors1and the sonar sensors
2for the BCI system 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.

ICC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The ICC system is primarily intended foruse on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the ICC
system in city traffic or congested areas. ∙ The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog. ∙ As there is a performance limit to the dis-
tance control function, never rely solely
on the ICC system. This system does not
correct careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome poor visibil-
ity in rain, fog, or other bad weather. De-
celerate the vehicle speed by depressing
the brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the sur-
rounding circumstances in order to main-
tain a safe distance between vehicles.
∙ If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. The system
will cancel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and sound a
warning chime. To prevent the vehicle
from moving, the driver must depress the
brake pedal.
∙ Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manually con-
trol the proper following distance. The
ICC system may not be able to maintain
the selected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected vehicle
speed under some circumstances.

5-92Starting and driving
Action to take
When the conditions listed above are no lon-
ger present, turn the system off using the
CRUISE ON/OFF switch. Turn the ICC sys-
tem back on to use the system.
Condition B
When the radar sensor area of the front
bumper is covered with dirt or is obstructed,
the ICC system will automatically be can-
celed. If the sensor area is covered with ice, a
transparent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the
ICC system may not detect vehicles ahead. In
these instances, the ICC system may not can-
cel and may not be able to maintain the se-
lected following distance from the vehicle
ahead. Be sure to check and clean the sensor
area.
The system warning light (orange) will illumi-
nate and the “Unavailable: Front Radar Ob-
struction” warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.Action to take
If the warning light (orange) comes on, park
the vehicle in a safe location and turn the
engine off. Check to see if the radar sensor
window is blocked. If the radar sensor win-
dow is blocked, remove the blocking material.
Restart the engine. If the warning light con-
tinues to illuminate, have the ICC system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Condition C
When the ICC system is not operating prop-
erly, a chime sounds and the system warning
light (orange) will come on.Action to take
If the warning light comes on, park the vehicle
in a safe place. Turn the engine off, restart
the engine, resume driving and set the ICC
system again.
If it is not possible to set the system or the
indicator stays on, it may indicate that the
system is malfunctioning. Although the ve-
hicle is still drivable under normal conditions,
have the vehicle checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
