SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear
bumper. Always keep the area near the ra-
dar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors. It is recommended that
you consult a NISSAN dealer if the area
around the radar sensors is damaged due
to a collision.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the I-BSI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The I-BSI system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedure
and is not designed to prevent con-
tact 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 I-BSI system.
• There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Not every moving object or vehicle
will be detected. Using the I-BSI sys-
tem under some road, ground, lane
marker, traffic or weather conditions
could lead to improper system op-
eration. Always rely on your own op-
eration to avoid accidents.
The I-BSI system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes, and helps assist the driver
to return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane. The I-BSI system uses radar sensors
O1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addi-
tion to the radar sensors, the I-BSI system
uses a camera
O2installed behind the
windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated.
The detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10f t (3.0m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10f t (3.0 m) sideways.

2BSW indicator
3Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI)
indicator
4ProPILOT Assist switch
The I-BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light (1)
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the sys-
tem chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light contin-
ues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone. The brightness
of the side indicator light is adjusted auto-
matically depending on the brightness of
the ambient light.
If the I-BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the system
chimes (three times) and the side indicator
light flashes. The I-BSI system activates by
controlling the steering input of the vehicle
for a short period of time to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the driving
lane. The I-BSI system operates regardless
of turn signal usage.

NOTE:
• I-BSI warning and system applicationwill only be activated if the side indica-
tor light is already illuminated when
your vehicle approaches a lane marker.
If another vehicle comes into the de-
tection zone af ter your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no I-BSI warn-
ing or system application will be acti-
vated. For additional information, see
“I-BSI driving situations” (P. 5-68).
• The I-BSI system is typically activated prior to the Intelligent Lane Interven-
tion (I-LI) system when your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker.
To turn on the I-BSI system, push the Pro-
PILOT Assist switch on the steering wheel
af ter starting the engine. The I-BSI indica-
tor will illuminate. Push the ProPILOT Assist
switch again to turn off the I-BSI system.
The I-BSI indicator will turn off.

I-BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the I-BSI system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
• The I-BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate I-BSI when cer-
tain objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detec-
tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop. For additional infor-
mation, see “BSI driving situa-
tions” (P. 5-68).
– Oncoming vehicles.
– 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
detection zone quickly.
• The radar sensors’ detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv-
ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen-
sors may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects; how-
ever, objects 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
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the
vehicle •
Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
• The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the I-BSI system may not oper-
ate properly.
– On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane mark-
ers that are faded or not painted
clearly; yellow painted lane mark-
ers; 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 af ter
road repairs.
– On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
Starting and driving5-67
Page 379 of 647
–When the vehicle’s traveling direc-
tion does not align with the lane
markers.
– When traveling close to the ve-
hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit de-
tection range.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to
the windshield in front of a lane
camera 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
camera unit. (For example: light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in bright-
ness occurs. (For example: when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
• Do not use the I-BSI system under the
following conditions because the
system 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 un-
even roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshif t or
temporary 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, instal-
lation of spare tire, tire chains,
nonstandard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
– When towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
• Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will in-
terfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.I-BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
