2019 NISSAN ARMADA sensor

5-42Starting and driving
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 BSW system warning light continues
to illuminate, have the system checked. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the BSW
system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar
sensors clean.
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.
Check for and remove objects obstruct-
ing the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar
sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-
BSI system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The I-BSI system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dures and is not designed to
prevent contact with vehicles or
objects. When changing lanes, al-
ways use the side and rear mir-
rors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move
to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the I-
BSI system.
. There is a limitation to the detec-
tion capability of the radar. Not
every moving object or vehicle
will be detected. Using the I-BSI
system under some road, ground,
lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper
system operation. Always rely on
your own operation to avoid ac-
cidents.
The I-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.
JVS0910X
The I-BSI system uses radar sensorsinstalled near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In
addition to the radar sensors, the I-BSI
system uses a camera
installed behind
the windshield to monitor the lane mar-
kers of your traveling lane.

Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the
detection zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone starts from the out-
side mirror of your vehicle and extends
approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0
m) sideways.

I-BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-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
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues to flash until the detected
vehicle leaves the detection zone.
If the I-BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the
system chimes (three times) and the side
indicator light flashes. Then the I-BSI
system slightly applies the brakes to help
return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane. The I-BSI system oper-
ates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
.I-BSI warning and system applica-
tion of the brakes will only be
activated 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 I-BSI
warning or system application of the
brakes will be activated. (See “I-BSI

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE I-BSI
SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the I-BSI system.
1. Push the SETTING button
.
2. Touch [Driver Assistance].
3. Touch [Blind Spot Assist].
4. Touch [Blind Spot Intervention] to turn the system ON/OFF.
I-BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-BSI system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The I-BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be
able to detect and activate I-BSI
when certain objects are present
such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the de- tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle. — A vehicle approaching rapidly
from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone
is designed based on a standard
lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the radar sensors
may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed
to ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situa-
tions and the I-BSI system may
not operate properly.
— On roads where there are
multiple parallel lane markers;
lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow

Illustration 3: If the I-BSI system is on and
your vehicle approaches a lane marker
while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, the system chimes (three times)
and the side indicator light flashes. Then
the I-BSI system slightly applies the
brakes to help return the vehicle back to
the center of the driving lane.
NOTE:
.The radar sensors may not detect
vehicles which are approaching ra-
pidly from behind.
. 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 the other vehicle is detected.

return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane.
NOTE:
.When overtaking several vehicles in
a row, the vehicles after the first
vehicle may not be detected if they
are traveling close together. .
The radar sensors may not detect
slower moving vehicles if they are
passed quickly.
. 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
the other vehicle is detected.
