change time INFINITI M 2011 Owner's Manual

The BSI system operates above approximately
37 MPH (60 km/h). If the system detects a
vehicle in the detection zone and your vehicle is
approaching the lane marker, the BSI system
issues an audible warning (three times), flashes
the BSW/BSI indicator light and slightly applies
the brakes for a short period of time on one side
to help return the vehicle back to the traveling
lane. Whenever the BSI system is turned on, the
BSW system will also be on.
WARNING
●The BSW and BSI systems are not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedure and is not
designed 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
BSW or BSI system.
● Using the BSI system under some road, lane
marker or weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Always rely on
your own steering and braking operation to
avoid accidents.
● The BSW and BSI systems may not provide a
warning or brake control for vehicles that
pass through the detection zone quickly.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator light
next to the outside mirror will illuminate in the
direction of the detected vehicle. If the turn
signal is then activated, the BSW/BSI indicator
light flashes and a chime sounds twice. The
indicator light continues to flash until the de-
tected vehicle leaves the detection zone.
The BSW/BSI indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is pushed
to the ON position.

The brightness of the BSW/BSI indicator lights
is adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver acti-
vates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes into the
detection zone after the driver activates the turn
signal, then only the BSW/BSI indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. (See “BSW/BSI
DRIVING SITUATIONS” later in this section)
The BSW system is automatically turned on
when the engine is started and the warning
systems ON indicator
1illuminates on the
switch. You can turn the BSW system off by
pushing the warning systems switch on the
instrumental panel. This switch will turn on and
off the LDW, BSW and FCW systems at the same
time.
NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning systems
switch from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default status of
the LDW, BSW and FCW systems to OFF so that
these systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this procedure is
repeated, the default status will return to ON.
BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the BSW/BSI indicator light is illuminated
while your vehicle is approaching a lane
marker, the BSW/BSI indicator light flashes and
an audible warning will sound three times. Then
the system applies the brakes on one side of
the vehicle for a short period of time to help
return the vehicle back to the center of the lane.
BSI operates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
● Warning and brake control will only be acti-
vated if the BSW/BSI indicator light is al-
ready illuminated when your vehicle ap-
proaches a lane marker. If another vehicle
comes into the detection zone after your ve-
hicle has crossed a lane marker, no warning
or brake control will be activated. (See
“BSW/BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS” later in this
section.)
● The BSI system is typically activated earlier
than the LDP system when your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker.
The BSI system is turned on if you push the
dynamic driver assistance switch on the steer-
ing wheel after starting the engine. The BSI ON
indicator light (green) on the instrument panel
will illuminate. Push the dynamic driver assis-

The BSI ON indicator light will turn off.
NOTE:
Whenever the BSI system is turned on, the BSW
system will also be on. If the BSW system has
previously been turned off using the warning
systems switch, it will be turned on and off to-
gether with the BSI system when pushing the
dynamic driver assistance switch. However, the
warning systems ON indicator on the warning
systems switch does not change.

2. System set display without vehicle ahead
System operation
WARNING
Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically accel-
erates or decelerates your vehicle according to
the speed of the vehicle ahead. Depress the
accelerator to properly accelerate your vehicle
when acceleration is required for a lanechange. Depress the brake pedal when decel-
eration is required to maintain a safe distance
to the vehicle ahead due to its sudden braking
or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when
using the ICC system.
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based
on the road conditions. The ICC system main-
tains the set vehicle speed, similar to standard
cruise control, as long as no vehicle is detected
in the lane ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed. Vehicle detected ahead :
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by con-
trolling the throttle and applying the brakes to
match the speed of a slower vehicle ahead. The
system then controls the vehicle speed based
on the speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain
the driver selected distance.
The stoplights of the vehicle come on and the
brake pedal depresses when braking is per-
formed by the ICC system.
When the brake operates, a noise may be heard.
This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and
selected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected :
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the
ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to
resume the previously set vehicle speed. The
ICC system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected the vehicle
ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during acceleration

system is in operation, the system controls the
distance to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h), the system
will be canceled.When passing another vehicle,the set speed
indicator will flash when the vehicle speed
exceeds the set speed. The vehicle detect indi-
cator will turn off when the area ahead of the
vehicle is open. When the pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the previously set speed.
Even though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC
system, you can depress the accelerator pedal
when it is necessary to accelerate your vehicle
rapidly.
How to change the set vehicle speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of these
methods:
● Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out. ●
Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle speed
indicator will go out.
● Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the MAIN
switch indicator and set vehicle speed indi-
cator will go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the SET/COAST switch.
● Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELERATE
switch. The set vehicle speed will increase
by approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h for
Canada).
● Push, then quickly release the
RESUME/ACCELERATE switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h for Canada).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET/COAST switch and release it.
● Push and hold the SET/COAST switch. The
set vehicle speed will decrease by approxi-
mately 5 MPH (5 km/h for Canada).

●Push, then quickly release the SET/COAST
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will decrease by approximately 1 MPH (1
km/h for Canada).
To resume the preset speed, push and release
the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch. The vehicle
will resume the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 20 MPH (32 km/h).
How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be se-
lected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
Each time the DISTANCE switch
Ais pushed,
the set distance will change to long, middle,
short and back to long again in that sequence.

●The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed. The
higher the vehicle speed, the longer the
distance. ●
If the engine is stopped, the set distance
becomes “long”. (Each time the engine is
started, the initial setting becomes “long”.)
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle
or if another vehicle cuts in, the system warns
the driver with the chime and ICC system dis-
play. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal
to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
● The chime sounds.
● The vehicle ahead detection and set dis-
tance indicator blink.
The warning chime may not sound in some
cases when there is a short distance between
vehicles. Some examples are:
● When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing
● When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is in-
creasing
● When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
● Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed, overrid-
ing the system.

If the IBA OFF indicator lightAilluminates with
a beep sound, pull off the road to a safe
location, stop the vehicle and turn the engine
off. Check to see if the sensor window is dirty.
If the sensor window is dirty, clean it with a soft
cloth and restart the engine. If the sensor
window is not dirty, restart the engine. If the
IBA OFF indicator light continues to illuminate
even if the IBA system is turned on with the IBA
OFF switch
B, have the system checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
To turn on the IBA system, see “INTELLIGENT
BRAKE ASSIST (IBA) SYSTEM” later in this sec-
tion.
FCW system operation
The FCW system will function at speeds of
approximately 10 MPH (15 km/h) and above,
when the system turns on.
The FCW system is automatically turned on
when the engine is started and the warning
systems ON indicator
1illuminates on the
switch. You can turn the FCW system off by
pushing the warning systems switch on the
instrument panel. This switch will turn on and
off the LDW, BSW and FCW systems at the same
time. See “WARNING SYSTEMS SWITCH” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section for more
details. NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning systems
switch from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default status of
the LDW, BSW and FCW systems to OFF so that
these systems will not automatically turn on

restraints move up and down smoothly and that
the locks (if so equipped) hold securely in all
latched positions.
Steering wheel:Check for changes in the steer-
ing conditions, such as excessive free play,
hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes: Make sure that all
warning lights and chimes are operating prop-
erly.
Windshield defroster: Check that the air comes
out of the defroster outlets properly and in
sufficient quantity when operating the heater or
air conditioner.
Windshield wiper and washer*: Check that the
wipers and washer operate properly and that
the wipers do not streak.
Under the hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time
you check the engine oil or refuel).
Battery*: Check the fluid level in each cell. It
should be between the MAX and MIN lines.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or un-
der severe condition require frequent checks of
the battery fluid level. Brake fluid level*:
Make sure that the brake
fluid level is between the MAX and MIN lines on
the reservoir.
Engine coolant level*: Check the coolant level
when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belts*: Make sure that no belt is
frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
Engine oil level*: Check the level after parking
the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine. Wait more than 15 minutes for the oil to
drain back into the oil pan.
Exhaust system: Make sure there are no loose
supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of
exhaust fumes, immediately have the exhaust
system inspected by an INFINITI retailer. (See
“PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section for
exhaust gas (Carbon monoxide).)
Fluid leaks: Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil,
water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. Water dripping from
the air conditioner after use is normal. If you
should notice any leaks or if gasoline fumes are
evident, check for the cause and have it cor-
rected immediately. Power steering fluid level* and lines:
Check the
level when the fluid is cold, with the engine off.
Check the lines for proper attachment, leaks,
cracks, etc.
Radiator and hoses: Check the front of the
radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves,
etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure the
hoses have no cracks, deformation, rot or loose
connections.
Underbody: The underbody is frequently ex-
posed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very
important to remove these substances, other-
wise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel
lines and around the exhaust system. At the
end of winter, the underbody should be thor-
oughly flushed with plain water, being careful
to clean those areas where mud and dirt may
accumulate. For additional information, see
“CLEANING EXTERIOR” in the “7. Appearance
and care” section.
Windshield washer fluid*: Check that there is
adequate fluid in the reservoir.
