. If the following messages appear in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound and the BSI system will be turned
off automatically.
— “Not available: Poor Road Condi- tions”:
When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
— “Currently unavailable”: When the VDC system is turned off.
When the SNOW mode is selected.
When the 4WD shift switch is in the
4H or 4L position. (4WD models) Action to take:
Turn off the BSI system and turn it on again
when the above conditions no longer exist.
.
If the following messages appear in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound and the BSI system will be turned
off automatically. The BSI system is not
available until the conditions no longer
exist.
— “Not available: High Camera Temp”:
When the camera detects that the
interior temperature is high (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)).
— “Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruc- tion”:
When radar blockage is detected.
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.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically. If the
“Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction” warn-
ing message continues to appear, have the
system checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSI system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound
and “Malfunction” warning message and
BSW indicator (orange) will appear in the
vehicle information display.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
shift lever in the P (Park) position, turn the
engine off and restart the engine.
If the message and BSW indicator (orange)
continue to appear, have the BSI system
checked. It is recommended you visit an

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the BSI system
are located near the rear bumper. Always
keep 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 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 you visit an INFINITI
retailer if the area around the radar sensors
is damaged due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
for BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep the
proper operation of BSI and prevent a
system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located
on the camera unit. It is recommended
you contact an INFINITI retailer if the
camera unit is damaged due to an
accident.

— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build up on thevehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle. The sonar
sensor may not detect:
— Small or moving objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Object 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 system may not
function properly.
. Do not use the BCI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly. — When driving with a tire that is
not within 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 non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.

system will not function for pedes-
trians in darkness or in tunnels, even
if there is street lighting in the area.
. For pedestrians, the FEB with pedes-
trian detection system will not issue
the first warning and will not push
the accelerator pedal up.
. The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if the vehi-
cle ahead is narrow (for example a
motorcycle).
. The FEB with pedestrian detection
system may not function if speed
difference between the two vehicles
is too small.
. The radar sensor FEB with pedes-
trian detection system may not func-
tion properly or detect a vehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
— Poor visibility (conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sandstorms, and road spray from
other vehicles)
— Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves. — Driving on a bumpy road surface,
such as an uneven dirt road.
— If dirt, ice, snow or other material is covering the radar sensor area.
— Interference by other radar sources.
— The camera area of windshield is fogged up, or covered with dirt,
water drops, ice, snow, etc.
— Strong light (for example, sun- light or high beams from oncom-
ing vehicles) enters the front
camera. Strong light causes the
area around the pedestrian to be
cast in a shadow, making it diffi-
cult to see.
— A sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example, when the
vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or a
shaded area or lightning flashes.)
— The poor contrast of a person to the background, such as having
clothing color or pattern which is
similar to the background.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifiable
due to the pedestrian transport-
ing luggage, wearing bulky or very
loose-fitting clothing or acces- sories.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. The system performance may de-
grade in the following conditions:
— The vehicle is driven on a slippery road.
— The vehicle is driven on a slope.
— Excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the
