SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the BCI system malfunctions, it will turn off
automatically, a chime will sound and the BCI
system warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the warn-
ing light (orange) continues to illuminate,
have the system checked. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The radar sensors1and the sonar sensors
2for the BCI system 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.

The RCTA system uses radar sensors1in-
stalled on both sides near the rear bumper to
detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
1can detect an ap-
proaching vehicle from up to approximately
66 ft (20 m) away.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the RCTA system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations 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 19 mph
(30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds lower than approximately 5 mph
(8 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.

– IllustrationC: When the vehicle is
parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration
D: 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/snow/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.
∙ Excessive noise (e.g., audio system vol- ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard. NOTE:
In the case of several vehicles approaching in
a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite direc-
tion (Illustration 2), a chime may not be
sounded by the RCTA system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.

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 systems are 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 will also stop working.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

Malfunction
When the RCTA system malfunctions, it will
turn off automatically. The system malfunc-
tion warning message with the BSW/RCTA
indicator (orange) will appear in the vehicle
information 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.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ICC system could
result in serious injury or death.
∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assist thedriver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ICC system. Read and un-
derstand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do not rely
on the system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emergency
situations. Do not use the ICC system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions. The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and direc-
tion.
The ICC system uses a radar sensor
Alo-
cated on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the ve-
hicle speed so that your vehicle follows the
vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.

your vehicle when acceleration is required for
a lane change. Depress the brake pedal when
deceleration is required to maintain a safe
distance to the vehicle ahead due to its sud-
den braking or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay
alert when using the ICC system.
ICC (Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control) mode
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically main-
tains a selected distance from the vehicle
traveling in front of you according to that
vehicle’s speed (up to the set speed), or at the
set speed when the road ahead is clear.
The system is intended to enhance the opera-
tion of the vehicle when following a vehicle
traveling in the same lane and direction.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the ve-
hicle speed so that your vehicle follows the
vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to ap-
proximately 40% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary. The detection range of the sensor
is approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.Preview Function
The ICC system with the Preview Function
identifies the need to apply emergency brak-
ing by sensing a vehicle ahead in the same
lane, and the distance and relative speed
from it. The system applies the brake pre-
pressure before the driver depresses the
brake pedal and helps improve brake re-
sponse by reducing pedal free play.
∙ This system will not operate when the vehicle is moving at approximately
20 mph (32 km/h) or less.
∙ The pre-pressure function ceases when the following conditions are met:
– When the driver depresses the accel- erator pedal or the brake pedal.
– If the driver does not operate the ac- celerator or brake pedal within ap-
proximately 1 second. ∙ The sensor will not detect:
– Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
– Motorcycles traveling offset in thetravel lane as illustrated
WARNING
∙ This system is only an aid to assist brak-ing operation and is not a collision warn-
ing or avoidance device. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
