Illustration 1:The side BSW/RCTA indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detec-
tion zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
Illustration 2:If the driver activates the turn
signal when another vehicle is in the detec-
tion zone, then the system chimes (twice) and
the side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
∙ The radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles which are approaching rapidly
from behind.
∙ If the driver activates the turn signal be-
fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when the other vehicle
is detected.

Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 3:The side indicator light illumi-
nates if you overtake a vehicle and that ve-
hicle stays in the detection zone for approxi-
mately 2 seconds. Illustration 4:
If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.
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 be-
fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when the other vehicle
is detected.

Entering from the side
Illustration 5:The side indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from either side. Illustration 6:
If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
∙ If the driver activates the turn signal be-
fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when the other vehicle
is detected. ∙
The radar sensors may not detect a ve-
hicle which is traveling at about the same
speed as your vehicle when it enters the
detection zone.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system
will be deactivated automatically. The “Un-
available: Side Radar Obstruction” warning
message will appear and the BSW/RCTA in-
dicator (white) will blink
Ain the vehicle in-
formation display.
The system is not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
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.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

Malfunction
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will turn
off automatically. The system malfunction
warning message with the BSW/RCTA indi-
cator (orange) will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
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 mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW and
RCTA systems 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.

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSI system could
result in serious injury or death.
∙ The BSI system is not a replacement forproper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn and
look in the direction you will move to en-
sure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely
solely on the BSI system.
∙ There is a limitation to the detection ca- pability of the radar or the sonar. Not
every moving object or vehicle will be de-
tected. Using the BSI system under some
road, ground, lane marker, traffic or
weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely on
your own operation to avoid accidents.
∙ The BSI system operates above approxi- mately 37 mph (60 km/h).
The BSI system can help alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when chang-
ing lanes. The BSI system uses a camera
1installed
behind the windshield to monitor the lane
markers of your traveling lane and radar sen-
sors
2installed near the rear bumper to
detect other vehicles in an adjacent lane.

BLIND SPOT INTERVENTION® (BSI)
(if so equipped)
5-48Starting and driving

The BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h). If the system de-
tects a vehicle in the detection zone and your
vehicle is approaching the lane marker, the
BSI system provides an audible warning
(three times), flashes the side indicator light
and slightly applies the brakes for a short
period of time on one side to help return the
vehicle back to the traveling lane. The BSI
system provides an audible warning and
turns on or flashes the side indicator light
even if the BSW system is off.

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.
