The TSR system provides the driver with in-
formation about the most recently detected
speed limit. The system captures the road
sign information with the multi-sensing front
camera unit
O1located on the windshield in
front of the inside rearview mirror and dis-
plays the detected signs in the vehicle infor-
mation display. For vehicles equipped with a
navigation system, the speed limit displayed
is based on a combination of navigation sys-
tem data and live camera recognition. TSR
information is always displayed at the top of
the vehicle information display, and option-
ally in the main central area of the display
screen.
WARNING
The TSR system is only intended to be a
support device to help provide the driver
with information. It is not a replacement
for the driver’s attention to traffic condi-
tions or responsibility to drive safely. It
cannot prevent accidents due to careless-
ness. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert and drive safely at all times.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the LDW system
could result in serious injury or death.
• This system is only a warning device to
inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer
the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is
the driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, keep the vehicle in the trav-
eling lane, and be in control of the vehicle
at all times. The LDW system will operate when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately
37 mph (60 km/h) and above, and only when
the lane markings are clearly visible on the
road.
The LDW system monitors the lane markers
on the traveling lane using the camera unit
O1
located above the inside mirror.
The LDW system warns the driver with an
indicator in the vehicle information display
and the steering wheel will vibrate, indicating
that the vehicle is beginning to leave the
driving lane. For additional information, see
“LDW system operation” (P. 5-36).

LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the LDW system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper use of
the LDW system could result in serious in-
jury or death.
• This system is only a warning device to
inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer
the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is
the driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, keep the vehicle in the trav-
eling lane, and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
• The system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 37 mph (60 km/h)
or if it cannot detect lane markers.
• Do not use the LDW system under the
following conditions as it may not func-
tion properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such
as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or uneven
roads. –
When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift or tem-
porary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
–
When driving without normal tire con- ditions (for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire, tire
chains, nonstandard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
–
When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
The system may not function properly under
the following conditions:
• 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; or
lane markers covered with water, dirt,
snow, etc.
• On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
• On roads where there are sharp curves. • On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,
wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW system could de-
tect these items as lane markers.)
• On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
• When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
• When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
• When rain, snow, dirt or an object adheres to the windshield in front of the lane cam-
era unit.
• When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not ad-
justed properly.
• When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For example, the light directly shines
on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
• When a sudden change in brightness oc- curs. (For example, when the vehicle enters
or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
5-38Starting and driving

• Do not place reflective materials, such aswhite 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 areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. If the camera unit is damaged
due to an accident, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the LDP system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The LDP system will not steer the vehicle
or prevent loss of control. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all
times. •
The LDP system is primarily intended for
use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways. It may not detect the lane markers
in certain road, weather, or driving
conditions.
The LDP system will operate when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately 37
mph (60 km/h) and above, and only when the
lane markings are clearly visible on the road.
The LDP system warns the driver with a
warning indicator in the vehicle information
display, the steering wheel will vibrate and
helps assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane by applying
the brakes to the left or right wheels individu-
ally (for a short period of time).
The LDP system monitors the lane markers
on the traveling lane using the camera unit
O1
located above the inside mirror.
