2022 INFINITI QX50 Owners Manual

–When the vehicle’s traveling direction
does not align with the lane markers.
– 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 a lane cam-
era unit.
– When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is
not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane cam-
era unit (e.g., light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset).
– When a sudden change in brightness
occurs (e.g., when the vehicle enters
or exits a tunnel or under a bridge).
• Do not use the BSI system under the fol-
lowing conditions because the system
may not function properly:
– During bad weather (e.g., rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such
as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven
roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs. –
When driving in a makeshift lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (e.g.,
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion 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 BSI 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.
BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator
light may not illuminate before the detected
vehicle is beside your vehicle. Always use the
side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move to ensure it is
safe to change lanes.

Illustration 2: If the driver activates the turn
signal then the system chimes a sound (twice)
and the side indicator light flashes.
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 the other vehicle is detected.Illustration 3: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle is approaching a lane marker and a
vehicle is in the detection zone, the system
chimes a sound (three times), and the side
indicator light flashes. Then the BSI system
slightly applies the brakes on one side to help
return the vehicle back to the center of the
driving lane.
NOTE:
Illustration 4: If you accelerate from a stop
with a vehicle in the detection zone, the
other vehicle may not be detected.

Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 5: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if you overtake a vehicle and that ve-
hicle stays in the detection zone for approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
The radar sensors may not detect slower
moving vehicles if they are passed quickly.Illustration 6: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes a sound (twice)
and the side indicator light flashes.
Illustration 7: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches a lane marker while an-
other vehicle is in the detection zone the sys-
tem chimes a sound (three times) and the side
indicator light flashes. 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.

NOTE:

vehicle may not be detected if they are trav-
eling close together.
Entering from the side
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.
NOTE:
• Illustration 12: The BSI system will not op-
erate if your vehicle is on a lane marker
when another vehicle enters the detection
zone. In this case, only the BSW system
operates.
• BSI braking will not operate or will stop operating and only a warning chime will
sound under the following conditions:– When the brake pedal is depressed.
– When the vehicle is accelerated during BSI system operation.
– When steering quickly.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When any of the following messages appear
on the vehicle information display, a chime
will sound and the BSI system will be turned
off automatically.
• “Not Available Poor Road Conditions”: When the VDC system (except traction
control system function) or ABS operates.
• “Currently Not Available”: When the VDC system is turned off.
• “Not Available: High Camera Temp”: When the camera detects that the interior
temperature is high (over approximately
104°F [40°C]).
• “Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction”: When side radar blockage is detected.
Turn off the BSI system and turn it on again
when the above conditions no longer exist.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSI system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound
and the warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
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 warning
light (orange) continues to illuminate, have
the system checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitO1for the BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. The two ra-
dar sensors
O2for 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 tem-porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog. The blocked condi-
tion may also be caused by objects such as
ice, frost or dirt obstructing the radar sen-
sors. Check for and remove objects ob-
structing the area around the radar
sensors.
• Do not attach stickers (including transpar- ent 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 camera
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 sensors is
damaged due to a collision.Radio frequency statement

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RCTA system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The RCTA system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the di-
rection your vehicle will move. Never rely
solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when back-
ing out from a parking space. When the ve-
hicle is in reverse, the system is designed to
detect other vehicles approaching from the
right or left of the vehicle. If the system de-
tects cross traffic, it will alert you.
