lights flash and the tail lamps turn on. If
the vehicle is not within view press and
hold the
button for at least 2 sec-
onds.
The following events will occur when the en-
gine starts:
∙ The parking lights will turn on and remain on as long as the engine is running.
∙ The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.
∙ The engine will continue to run for 10 minutes. Repeat the steps to extend
the time for an additional 10 minutes. For
additional information, refer to “Extend-
ing engine run time” in this section.
Press and hold the brake pedal while switch-
ing the ignition to the ON position before driving. For additional information, refer to
“Driving the vehicle” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The Remote Engine Start feature can be ex-
tended one time by performing the steps
listed in “Remote starting the vehicle” in this
section. Run time will be calculated as fol-
lows:
∙ The first 10 minute run time will start when the Remote Engine Start function
is performed.
∙ The second 10 minutes will start immedi- ately when the Remote Engine Start
function is performed again. For ex-
ample, if the engine has been running for
5 minutes, and 10 minutes are added, the
engine will run for a total of 15 minutes.
∙ Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts, or
a single Remote Engine Start with an exten-
sion, are allowed between ignition cycles. The
ignition switch must be cycled to the ON
position and then back to the OFF position
before the Remote Engine Start procedure
can be used again.

LDW SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDW system provides a lane departure
warning function when the vehicle is driven at
speeds of approximately 45 mph (70 km/h)
and above and the lane markings are clear.
When the vehicle approaches either the left
or the right side of the traveling lane, a warn-
ing chime will sound and the LDW indicator in
the vehicle information display will blink to
alert the driver.
The warning function will stop when the ve-
hicle returns inside of the lane markers.
The LDW system is not designed to warn
under the following conditions:∙ When you operate the lane change signal and change traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDW system will
become operable again approximately
2 seconds after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
∙ When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
∙ When the BSI activates an audible warn- ing or when the brakes are automatically
applied by the system.
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are satis-
fied, the LDW functions will resume.

LDP SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the LDP system. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions for proper use of the
LDP system could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The LDP system will not steer the vehicleor 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.
∙ The LDP system is primarily intended for use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways. It may not detect the lane markers
in certain roads, weather or driving
conditions.
∙ The LDP system may activate if you change lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a con-
struction zone directs traffic to cross an
existing lane marker. If this occurs you
may need to apply corrective steering to
complete your lane change. ∙ Because the LDP may not activate under
the road, weather, and lane marker con-
ditions described in this section, it may
not activate every time your vehicle be-
gins to leave its lane and you will need to
apply corrective steering.
∙ When the LDP system is operating, avoid excessive or sudden steering maneuvers.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the
vehicle.
∙ The LDP system will not operate at speeds below approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
∙ Do not use the LDP system under the fol- lowing conditions as it may not function
properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs. – When driving in a makeshift or tempo-
rary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear, low
tire pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with nonoriginal brake parts or suspension
parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
∙ If the LDP system malfunctions, it will cancel automatically. The LDW indicator
(orange) will illuminate and the “Mal-
function: See Owner’s Manual” warning
message will appear in the display.
∙ If the LDW indicator (orange) illuminates in the display, pull off the road to a safe
location and stop the vehicle. Turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the
LDW indicator (orange) continues to illu-
minate, have the LDP system checked. It
is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Starting and driving5-35
∙ Excessive noise will interfere with thewarning chime sound, and the chime may
not be heard.
The LDP system may or may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
∙ On roads where there are multiple paral- lel lane markers; lane markers that are
faded or not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers covered with
water, dirt, snow, etc.
∙ On roads where discontinued lane mark- ers are still detectable.
∙ On roads where there are sharp curves.
∙ On roads where there are sharply con- trasting objects, such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remain-
ing after road repairs. (The LDP system
could detect these items as lane
markers.)
∙ On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
∙ When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with the lane marker. ∙ When traveling close to the vehicle in
front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
∙ When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of the lane camera
unit.
∙ When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
∙ When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For example, the light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at sun-
rise or sunset.)
∙ When a sudden change in brightness oc- curs. (For example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is nor-
mal and indicates that the LDP system is
operating properly.SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the LDP
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions:
∙ When you operate the lane change signal and change the traveling lanes in the di-
rection of the signal. (The LDP system will
be deactivated for approximately 2 sec-
onds after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
∙ When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are satis-
fied, the warning and assist functions will
resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following condi-
tions (warning is still functional): ∙ When the brake pedal is depressed.
∙ When the steering wheel is turned as far as necessary for the vehicle to change
lanes.

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 BSW/RCTA indica-
tor light
1illuminates. If the turn signal is
then activated, the system chimes (twice) and
the side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes.
The side BSW/RCTA indicator light contin-
ues to flash until the detected vehicle leaves
the detection zone.
The side BSW/RCTA indicator light illumi-
nates for a few seconds when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the side BSW/RCTA indi-
cator light is adjusted automatically depend-
ing 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 BSW/RCTA indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. For additional
information, refer to “BSW driving situations”
in this section.
The BSW system automatically turns on ev-
ery time the engine is started, as long as it is
activated using the settings menu on the ve-
hicle information display.
