2. BSW indicator
3. Dynamic driver assistance switch (formodels without ProPILOT Assist)
4. ProPILOT Assist switch (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist)
BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The 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
1
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
If the BSI system is on and your vehicle ap-
proaches a lane marker while another vehicle
is in the detection zone, the system chimes
(three times) and the side indicator light
flashes. The BSI system activates to help re-
turn the vehicle back to the center of the
driving lane. The BSI system operates regard-
less of turn signal usage.

NOTE:∙ BSI warning and system application will
only be activated if the side indicator
light is already illuminated when your
vehicle approaches a lane marker. If an-
other vehicle comes into the detection
zone after your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no BSI warning or system appli-
cation will be activated. For additional
information, refer to “BSI driving situa-
tions” in this section.
∙ The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Preven-
tion (LDP) system when your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic
driver assistance switch (for models without
ProPILOT Assist) or the ProPILOT Assist
switch (for models with ProPILOT Assist) on
the steering wheel is pushed when the “Blind
Spot Intervention” is enabled in the “Driver
Assistance” menu in the lower display. The
BSI ON indicator light on 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.

∙The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary 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 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 RCTA system
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The RCTA system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the di-
rection your vehicle will move. Never rely
solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when back-
ing out from a parking space. When the ve-
hicle is in reverse, the system is designed to
detect other vehicles approaching from the
right or left of the vehicle. If the system de-
tects cross traffic, it will alert you.

If it is not possible to set or the indicator
stays on, it may indicate that the system is
malfunctioning. Although the vehicle is still
drivable under normal conditions, have the
vehicle checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ProPILOT Assist
system could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving sys-tem. Within the limits of its capabilities,
as described in this manual, it helps the
driver with certain driving activities.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is not a re- placement for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct careless,
inattentive or absent-minded driving.
ProPILOT Assist will not always steer
the vehicle to keep it in the lane. The Pro-
PILOT Assist system is not designed to
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ There are limitations to the ProPILOT Assist system capability. The ProPILOT
Assist system does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road condi-
tions. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times. ∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is only an
aid to assist the driver and is not a colli-
sion warning or avoidance device.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is for high- way use only and is not intended for city
driving. Failure to apply the brakes or
steer the vehicle when necessary may re-
sult in a serious accident.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ Never take your hands off the steering wheel when driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and drive
your vehicle safely.
∙ Never unfasten your safety belt when us- ing ProPILOT Assist. Doing so automati-
cally cancels the ProPILOT Assist
system.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system does not re- act to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.

∙ Always drive carefully and attentivelywhen using the ProPILOT Assist system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the Pro-
PILOT Assist system. To avoid serious in-
jury or death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the vehi-
cle’s speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ProPILOT Assist system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle when
following a vehicle traveling in the same lane
and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera
Ainstalled behind the
windshield and a radar sensor located on the
front of the vehicle
Bto measure the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead in the same lane
and to monitor the lane markers. If the vehicle
detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the
system will reduce the vehicle speed so that
your vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the
selected distance. The system will also help keep the vehicle centered in the traveling lane
when clear lane markings are detected.

5-102Starting and driving

90 mph (30 to 144 km/h). When the
vehicle ahead slows to a stop, your
vehicle gradually decelerates to a
standstill. When the vehicle is stopped,
the ICC system maintains braking
force to keep your vehicle stopped.
NOTE:
When your vehicle is stopped for less than
3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to
move, your vehicle will start moving again
automatically. – When your vehicle is at a standstill formore than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the ac-
celerator pedal. The ICC system starts
to follow the vehicle ahead.
– When no vehicle is detected ahead within the driver selected distance, the
vehicle travels at the speed set by the
driver. The speed must be above
20 mph (30 km/h) to use this func-
tion. NOTE:
Even if the Forward Emergency Braking
with Pedestrian Detection setting is turned
off by the driver using the “Driver Assis-
tance” menu in the lower display, Forward
Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detec-
tion will be automatically turned on when
ICC is used.
2. Steering Assist
The Steering Assist function controls the
steering system to help keep your vehicle
within the traveling lane.
When there is no vehicle ahead, Steering
Assist is not available at speeds under
37 mph (60 km/h).
