Illustration 5: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.Illustration 6: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches a 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.
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.

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 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.

The RCTA system uses radar sensorsOAin-
stalled on both sides near the rear bumper to
detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
OAcan detect an ap-
proaching vehicle from up to approximately
66 ft. (20 m) away.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONSWARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the RCTA system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death. •
Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before backing
up. The radar sensors detect approach-
ing (moving) vehicles. The radar sensors
cannot detect every object such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles,
animals or child-operated toy ve-
hicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds
greater than approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds
lower than approximately 5 mph (8
km/h)
• The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration
OA: When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs the
beam of the radar sensor.
– Illustration
OB: When the vehicle is
parked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration
OC: When the vehicle is
parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration
OD: When an approaching
vehicle turns into your vehicle's park-
ing lot aisle.
– Illustration
OE: When the angle
formed by your vehicle and ap-
proaching vehicle is small

•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 (e.g., audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
NOTE:
In the case of several vehicles approaching in
a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite direc-
tion (Illustration 2), a chime may not be
sounded by the RCTA system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.

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 systems are 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
conditions such as ice, snow, 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.
