BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
• The BSW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to de-
tect and activate BSW when certain ob-
jects are present such as:
– Pedestrian, bicycles, 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.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.

–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 operation
condition.
• The following conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other ve-
hicles:
– 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
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
• Excessive noise (for example, audio sys-
tem volume, open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.

Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1:The side BSW/RCTA indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detec-
tion zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
NOTE:
•The radar sensors may not detect vehicles
which are approaching rapidly from behind.
Illustration 2: If the driver activates the turn
signal when another vehicle is in the detec-
tion zone, then the system chimes (twice) and
the side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
• The radar sensors may not detect vehicles which are approaching rapidly from
behind.
• If the driver activates the turn signal be- fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side BSW/RCTA indicator light will
flash but no chime will sound when the
other vehicle is detected.
Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 3: The side BSW/RCTA indicator
light illuminates if you overtake a vehicle and
that vehicle stays in the detection zone for
approximately 2 seconds.

Illustration 4:If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
• When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the first vehicle may not
be detected if they are traveling close
together.
• The radar sensors may not detect slower moving vehicles if they are passed quickly. • If the driver activates the turn signal be-
fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side BSW/RCTA indicator light will
flash but no chime will sound when the
other vehicle is detected.

tion zone from either side.

NOTE:
• If the driver activates the turn signal be- fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side BSW/RCTA indicator light will
flash but no chime will sound when the
other vehicle is detected. • The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detec-
tion zone.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system
will be deactivated automatically. The “Un-
available: Side Radar Obstruction” warning
message will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
The system is 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
and BSI systems (if so equipped) will also
stop working.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

Malfunction
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will turn
off automatically. The system malfunction
warning message will appear in the vehicle
information display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
and BSI systems (if so equipped) will also
stop working.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, press the
park button to engage the P (Park) position,
turn the engine off and restart the engine. If
the message continues to appear, have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for 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
consult an INFINITI retailer if the area around
the radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.
