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 for
proper 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
ensure 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 helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing
lanes and helps assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane. The BSI system uses radar sensors
O2in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition to the
radar sensors, the BSI system uses a camera
O1installed behind the windshield to monitor
the lane markers of your traveling lane.
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther side of your vehicle within the detection
zone shown as illustrated. This detection
zone starts from the outside mirror of your
vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3.0
m) sideways.

BLIND SPOT INTERVENTION® (BSI)
5-52Starting and driving
The BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light (1)
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
If the BSI system is on and your vehicle ap-
proaches a lane marker while another vehicle
is in the detection zone, the system chimes
(three times) and the side indicator light
flashes. The BSI system activates to help re-
turn the vehicle back to the center of the
driving lane. The BSI system operates regard-
less of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
• BSI warning and system application willonly be activated if the side indicator light
is already illuminated when your vehicle
approaches a lane marker. If another ve-
hicle comes into the detection zone after
your vehicle has crossed a lane marker, no
BSI warning or system application will be
activated. For additional information, see
“BSI driving situations” (P. 5-57 ). • The BSI system is typically activated ear-
lier than the Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) system when your vehicle is ap-
proaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the ProPILOT
Assist switch on the steering wheel is pushed
when the “Blind Spot Intervention” is enabled
in the “Driver Assistance” menu in the lower
display. The BSI ON indicator on the instru-
ment panel illuminates when the BSI system
is turned on.
The BSI system provides a chime and turns on
or flashes the side indicator light even if the
BSW system is off.

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 BSI system cannot detect all vehicles
under all conditions.
• 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, see
“BSI driving situations” (P. 5-57).
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle. For additional
information, see “BSI driving situa-
tions” (P. 5-57). –
A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind. For additional information,
see “BSI driving situations” (P. 5-57).
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly. For additional infor-
mation, see “BSI driving situations”
(P. 5-57).
– A vehicle that passes through the de-
tection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in a
row, the vehicles after the first ve-
hicle may not be detected if they are
traveling close together.
• 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
detected. This is a normal driving
condition.
• The following conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other ve-
hicles: –
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
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
• The camera may not detect lane markers
in the following situations and the BSI
system may not operate properly:
– On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-
standard lane markers; lane markers
covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp
curves.
– On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams
or lines remaining after road repairs.
– On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.

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.

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.
LSD2924
5-62Starting and driving
• 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
