BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSI system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSI when certain
objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or 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. For additional information, re-
fer to “BSI driving situations” in this
section.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle. For additional
information, refer to “BSI driving
situations” in this section. – A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind. For additional information,
refer to “BSI driving situations” in
this section.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over- takes rapidly. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “BSI driving situations”
in this section.
– A vehicle that passes through the de- tection zone quickly.
● 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
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
● The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects, however
objects such as guardrails, walls, foli-
age and parked vehicles may occasion-
ally be detected. This is a normal driving
condition.
● Severe weather or road spray condi-
tions may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles. ●
The camera may not detect lane mark-
ers in the following situations and the
BSI system may not operate properly.
– 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; lane markers
covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp curves.
– On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams
or lines remaining after road repairs.
– On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direc- tion does not align with the lane
markers.
– When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
Starting and driving5-49

– When rain, snow or dirt adheres tothe windshield in front of a lane cam-
era unit.
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is
not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane cam- era unit. (For example: light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example: when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or under
a bridge.)
● Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
– During bad weather (For example: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift lane. – When driving on roads where the
lane width is too narrow.
– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
● Do not use the BSI systems when tow-
ing a trailer.
● Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection
zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light
may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is
beside your vehicle. Always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direction your
vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes.

Illustration 2: If the driver activates the turn signal
then the system chimes a sound (twice) and the
Blind Spot Warning indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
BSW indicator light will flash but no chime
will sound when the other vehicle is de-
tected.Illustration 3: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle is approaching a lane marker and a ve-
hicle is in the detection zone, the system chimes
a sound (three times) , and the BSW indicator
light flashes. Then the BSI system slightly applies
the brakes on one side to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the driving lane.
NOTE:

NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
BSW indicator light will flash but no chime
will sound when another vehicle is de-
tected.Illustration 11: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches the lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the BSW indica-
tor light flashes and a chime will sound three
times. Then, the BSI system slightly applies the
brakes on the appropriate side to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the driving lane.
NOTE:
● Illustration 12: 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.
● BSI braking 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.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When any of the following messages appear on
the vehicle information display, a chime will sound
and the BSI system will be turned off automati-
cally. ● “Unavailable Road is slippery”:
When the VDC system (except traction con-
trol system function) or ABS operates.
● “Unavailable VDC OFF”:
When the VDC system is turned off.
● “Unavailable Snow mode active”:
When the drive mode select switch is turned
to the SNOW mode.
● “Unavailable High Cabin Temp.”:
When the camera detects that the interior
temperature is high (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 BSI system warning light (orange) will illumi-
nate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the hybrid
system off and restart the hybrid system. If the
warning light (orange) continues to illuminate,
have the system checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. The two radar
sensors
2for the BSI system are located near
the rear bumper. To keep the proper operation of
the BSI system and prevent a system malfunc-
tion, be sure to observe the following:
● Always keep the windshield and the area
near the radar sensors clean.

Starting and driving5-55

●The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary 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 camera unit or radar
sensors.
● 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 area around the
radar sensors. Do not touch the camera lens
or remove the screw located on the camera
unit. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer if the camera unit and/or
area around the radar sensors is damaged
due to a collision.Radio frequency statement

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BCI system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The BCI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure, is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects and does not provide full
brake power. When backing out of park-
ing space, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direc-
tion you will move. Never rely solely on
the BCI system.

●There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar. Us-
ing the BCI systems under some road,
ground, lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper sys-
tem operation. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.
The BCI systems can help alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle or objects behind the ve-
hicle when the driver is backing out of a parking
space.
When the shift position is R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h), the BCI system operates. The BCI system uses radar sensors
1installed
on both sides near the rear bumper to detect an
approaching vehicle and sonar sensors to detect
objects in the rear.
The radar sensors
1detect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft (15 m)
away. The sonar sensors
2detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle up to approximately
4.9 ft (1.5 m)
3. If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from
the side or the sonar detects close stationary
objects behind the vehicle, the system gives vi-
sual and audible warnings. If the driver does not
apply the brakes, the system automatically ap-
plies the brake for a moment when the vehicle is
moving backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the brake
pedal to maintain brake pressure. If the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system
pushes the accelerator upward before applying
the brake. If you continue to press the accelera-
tor, the system will not engage the brake.

If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) , the Blind Spot Warning indicator light on
the side of the approaching vehicle flashes and a
yellow rectangular frame appears in display
A.NOTE:
● In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite
direction (Illustration 2) , a chime may not be
sounded by the BCI system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors. ●
The sonar system chime indicating there is
an object behind the vehicle has a higher
priority than the BCI chime (single beep)
indicating an approaching vehicle. If the so-
nar system detects an object behind the
vehicle and the BCI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time the fol-
lowing indicators are provided:
– The sonar system chime sounds
– The Blind Spot Warning indicator light on the side of the approaching vehicle
flashes and

BCI SYSTEM LIMITATIONSWARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BCI system
could result in serious injury or death.●
Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before back-
ing up. The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The radar
sensors cannot detect every object such
as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child operated toy
vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 15 mph
(24 km/h)
● The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration a: When a vehicle parked next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.
– Illustration b: When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration c: When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration d: When an approaching vehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-
ing lot aisle.
