BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSI system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The radar sensors may not be able to de-
tect and activate BSI when certain ob-
jects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a stop.
For additional information, refer to
“BSI driving situations” in this section. – A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle. For additional
information, refer to “BSI driving situ-
ations” in this section.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. For additional information,
refer to “BSI driving situations” in this
section.
– A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly. For additional information,
refer to “BSI driving situations” in this
section.
– A vehicle that passes through the de- tection zone quickly.
∙ The radar sensors’ detection zone is de- signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an ad-
jacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
∙ The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects; however, ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and
parked vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal driving condition.

Illustration 9: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from either side.
NOTE:
The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed as
your vehicle when it enters the detection
zone.Illustration 10: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the side indicator light flashes and
a chime will sound twice.
NOTE:
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 another vehicle is detected.
Illustration 11: If the BSI system is on and
your vehicle approaches the lane marker
while another vehicle is in the detection zone,
the side indicator light flashes and a chime
will sound three times. Then, the BSI system
slightly applies the brakes on the appropriate
side to help return the vehicle back to the
center of the driving lane.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. The two ra-
dar sensors
2for the BSI system are located
near the rear bumper. To keep the proper
operation of the BSI system and prevent a
system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
∙ Always keep the windshield and 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 ob-
jects obstructing the area around the ra-
dar 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.

The BCI system uses radar sensors1in-
stalled on both sides near the rear bumper to
detect an approaching vehicle and sonar sen-
sors
2to detect objects in the rear.
The radar sensors
1detect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft (15 m)
away. The sonar sensors
2detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle up to approxi-
mately 4.9 ft (1.5 m)
3. If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close sta-
tionary objects behind the vehicle, the system
gives visual and audible warnings. If the driver
does not apply the brakes, the system auto-
matically applies the brake for a moment
when the vehicle is moving backwards. After
the automatic brake application, the driver
must depress the brake pedal to maintain
brake pressure. If the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal, the system pushes the ac-
celerator upward before applying the brake.
If you continue to press the accelerator, the
system will not engage the brake.

If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from the side, the system chimes a sound
(single beep), the side BSW/RCTA indicator
light on the side of the approaching vehicle
flashes and a yellow rectangular frame ap-
pears in the display
A.NOTE:
∙ In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the op-
posite direction (Illustration 2), a chime
may not be sounded by the BCI system
after the first vehicle passes the sensors.
∙
The sonar system chime indicating there is
an object behind the vehicle has a higher
priority than the BCI chime (single beep)
indicating an approaching vehicle. If the
sonar system detects an object behind the
vehicle and the BCI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time the fol-
lowing indicators are provided:
– The sonar system chime sounds
– The side BSW/RCTA indicator light
on the side of the approaching vehicle
flashes and
– A yellow rectangular frame appears
in the display
If an approaching vehicle or object behind the
vehicle is detected when your vehicle is back-
ing up, a red frame will appear in the display
Aand the system will chime three times.
Then, the brakes will be applied momentarily.

BCI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BCI system. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions for proper use of the
BCI system could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ Always check surroundings and turn tocheck what is behind you before backing
up. The radar sensors detect approaching
(moving) vehicles. The radar sensors can-
not detect every object such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child-operated toy vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 15 mph
(24 km/h)
∙ The radar sensors may not detect ap- proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration
A: When a vehicle parked
next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.
– Illustration
B: When the vehicle is
parked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration
C: When the vehicle is
parked on inclined ground.

– IllustrationD: When an approaching
vehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-
ing lot aisle.
– Illustration
E: When the angle
formed by your vehicle and approach-
ing vehicle is small.
∙ The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt build up on the vehicle
∙ Do not attach stickers (including trans- parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar sen-
sors. These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
∙ The sonar sensors detect stationary ob- jects behind the vehicle. The sonar sensor
may not detect:
– Small or moving objects
– Wedge-shaped objects
– Objects close to the bumper (less than approximately 1 ft [30 cm]) – Thin objects such as rope, wire and
chain, etc.
∙ The brake engagement by the BCI system is not as effective on a slope as it is on flat
ground. When on a steep slope the sys-
tem may not function properly.
∙ Do not use the BCI system under the fol- lowing conditions because the system
may not function properly:
– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g., tire
wear, low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-standard
wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
∙ Do not use the BCI system when towing a trailer.
∙ Excessive noise (e.g., audio system vol- ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY NOT
AVAILABLE
If the following messages appear on the ve-
hicle information display, a chime will sound
and the BCI system will be turned off auto-
matically:
∙ “Unavailable: High Accelerator Temp.”: If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F [40°C]) and then
started, the BCI system may be deacti-
vated automatically and the “Unavailable:
High Accelerator Temp” message will ap-
pear in the vehicle information display for
a period of time.
When the interior temperature is re-
duced, turn off the BCI system and turn it
on again.
∙ “Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction”: When side radar blockage is detected.
When the blockage is removed, turn off
the BCI system and turn it on again.
