Illustration 7: 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 8: 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 9: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches the lane marker while an-
other vehicle is in the detection zone, the
system chimes (three times) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The BSI system acti-
vates to help return the vehicle back to the
center of the driving lane.

Illustration 10: The BSI system will not oper-
ate if your vehicle is on a lane marker when
another vehicle enters the detection zone. In
this case only the BSW system operates.
NOTE:
• The radar sensors may not detect a vehiclewhich is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detec-
tion zone.
• BSI 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.
– When the ICC, PFCW or FEB with Pe- destrian Detection warnings sound.
– When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
– When driving on a curve at a high speed.
– When the BSW system is turned off.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Under the following conditions, a chime will
sound, the following message will appear in
the vehicle information display and the BSI
system will be turned off automatically. The
BSI system will not be available until the con-
ditions no longer exist.
• “Not available Poor Road Conditions” – When the VDC system (except TCS function) or ABS operates.
• “Currently not available” – When the VDC system is turned off.
– When the SNOW mode is selected
• “Unavailable High Cabin Temperature”: If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (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 “Not available System Malfunction”
warning message with the BSW indicator
(orange) will appear in the vehicle information
display.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, push the
park button to engage the P (Park) position,
turn the engine off and restart the engine. If
the “Not available System Malfunction”
warning message with the BSW indicator
(orange) continues to be displayed, have the
BSI system checked. It is recommended you
visit a certified INFINITI retailer for this
service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for 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 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 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 a certified
INFINITI retailer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
O2for 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 transpar- ent material) or install an accessory near
the camera unit.
• 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 areas around the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. It is recommended that you
contact a certified INFINITI retailer if the
camera unit is damaged due to an accident.

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.
• Do not use the RCTA system when tow-
ing a trailer. The system may not func-
tion properly. 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.

1Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light
The RCTA system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle when the driver is
backing out of a parking space.
When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and
the vehicle speed is less than approximately
5 mph (8 km/h), the RCTA system is
operational.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from either side, the system chimes (once)
and the side BSW/RCTA indicator light
flashes on the side the vehicle is approaching
from.
