VAILABLE
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, a beep will
sound and the LDP system will be canceled
automatically. The LDP ON indicator light
(green)
will blink, and the LDP system
cannot be activated:
. When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
. When the VDC system is turned off.
. When the SNOW mode switch is turned
on.
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H
or 4L position (for 4WD models).
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch
again to turn the
LDP system back on.
Condition B:
LDW system: If the vehicle is parked in direct
sunlight under high temperature conditions
(over approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then
the LDW system is turned on, the LDW
system may be deactivated automatically,
and the warning systems ON indicator light
on the switch will blink.

(over approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then
the LDP system is turned on, the LDP
system will be turned off automatically, a
beep will sound and the LDP ON indicator
light (green)

The LDW and LDP systems are not available
until the conditions no longer exist.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the LDW system will resume automatically.
For the LDP system, push the dynamic driver
assistance switch
again to turn the LDP
system back on.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
LDW system: When the LDW system mal-
functions, it will cancel automatically, and
the LDW indicator light (orange) will illumi-
nate.
LDP system: When the LDP system mal-
functions, it will be turned off automatically,
a beep will sound, and the LDW indicator
light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the LDW
indicator light (orange) continues to illumi-
nate, have the system checked. It is recom- mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitfor the LDW/LDP
systems is located above the inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW/
LDP systems and prevent a system mal-
function, be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
NOTE:
.The side indicator light illuminates for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
. The brightness of the side indicator light
is adjusted automatically depending on
the brightness of the ambient light.
. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn
signal, then only the side indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. For addi-
tional information, refer to “BSW sys-
tem limitations” (P.5-36).

TURNING THE BSW SYSTEM ON/
OFF
The warning systems switchis used to
turn on and off the BSW system when it is
activated on the center display using the
center multi-function control panel
. See
“How to enable/disable the BSW system”
(P.5-35). When the warning systems switch
is turned off, the warning systems ON
indicator lighton the switch is off.
The warning systems switch
will turn on
and off the Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
and BSW systems at the same time.
HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
BSW SYSTEM
The BSW system can be turned off perma-
nently using the center display.

may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.

VAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system
will be turned off automatically, a beep will
sound and the BSW system warning light
(orange)
will blink. The system is not
available until the conditions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary 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.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.
If the BSW system warning light (orange)
continues to blink, have the system checked.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a beep will sound
and the BSW system warning light (orange)
will illuminate.
