THE BSW AND BSI SYSTEMS:
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot
Intervention (BSI) systems can help alert the
driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes.
The BSW system uses radar sensors
2in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other ve-
hicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent lane. In
addition to the radar sensors, the BSI system
uses a camera
1installed 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 detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and ex-
tends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) side-
ways.
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar sensors detects
vehicles in the detection zone, the Blind spot
warning indicator light illuminates. If the driver
then activates the turn signal, the system chimes
a sound (twice) and the Blind spot warning indi-
cator light will flash.The BSI system operates above approximately
37 MPH (60 km/h). If the radar detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is ap-
proaching the lane marker, the system chime a
sound (three times) , the Blind spot warning indi-
cator light and slightly applies the brakes for a
moment on one side to help return the vehicle
back to the traveling lane.

WARNING
●The BSW and BSI systems are not a
replacement for proper driving proce-
dure and are 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.
● The BCI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When backing out of parking
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 BSI and BCI systems under
some road, ground, lane marker, traffic
or weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid
accidents.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind spot warning indicator light
located inside the outside mirrors illuminates. If
the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes a sound (twice) and the Blind spot warn-
ing indicator light flashes. The Blind spot warning
indicator light continues to flash until the de-
tected vehicles leave the detection zone.
The Blind spot warning indicator lights illuminate
for a few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position. The brightness of the Blind spot warning indica-
tor 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 activates the
turn signal. If a vehicle comes into the detection
zone after the driver activates the turn signal, then
only the Blind spot system indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. See “BSW/BSI driving
situations” in this section.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind spot warning indicator light
located near the outside mirrors illuminates. If
your vehicle is approaching a lane marker, the
system chimes a sound (three times) and the
Blind spot warning indicator light flashes. Then
the system applies the brakes on one side of the
vehicle for a moment 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
activated if the Blind spot warning indica-
tor light is already illuminated when your
vehicle approaches a lane marker. If an-
other vehicle comes into the detection
zone after your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no warning or brake control will be
activated. For additional information see
“BSW/BSI driving situations” in this sec-
tion. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) system when your vehicle is ap-
proaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic driver
assistance switch on the steering wheel is
pushed when the “Blind Spot Intervention” is
enabled in the settings menu on the meter dis-
play. The BSI ON indicator light (green) on the
instrument panel illuminates when the BSI sys-
tem is turned on.
The BSI system provides a chime and turns on or
flashes the Blind spot warning indicator light
even if the BSW system is off.
How to enable/disable the BSI system
Perform the following steps to enable or disable
the BSI system.
LSD2053SSD1029
5-36Starting and driving

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.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
Blind spot warning indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected.
If the BSI system is on and your vehicle is ap-
proaching a lane marker, the system chimes a
sound (three times) , and the Blind spot warning
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.

FOG LIGHTS
Replacing the fog light bulb
If replacement is required, see your INFINITI re-
tailer.
CAUTION
●High pressure halogen gas is sealed
inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break if the glass envelope is scratched
or the bulb is dropped.
● When handling the bulb, do not touch
the glass envelope.
● Use the same number and wattage as
originally installed as shown in the
chart.
● Do not leave the bulb out of the fog light
for a long period of time as dust, mois-
ture and smoke may enter the fog light
body and affect the performance of the
fog light.

8-30Maintenance and do-it-yourself

●Keep the cargo load as low as possible in
the trailer to keep the trailer center of gravity
low.
● Load the trailer so approximately 60% of the
trailer load is in the front half and 40% is in
the back half. Also make sure the load is
balanced side to side.
● Check your hitch, trailer tire pressure, ve-
hicle tire pressure, trailer light operation, and
trailer wheel lug nuts every time you attach a
trailer to the vehicle.
● Be certain your rearview mirrors conform to
all federal, state or local regulations. If not,
install any mirrors required for towing before
driving the vehicle.
● Determine the overall height of the vehicle
and trailer so the required clearance is
known.
Trailer towing tips
In order to gain skill and an understanding of the
vehicle’s behavior, you should practice turning,
stopping and backing up in an area which is free
from traffic. Steering stability and braking perfor-
mance will be somewhat different than under
normal driving conditions.
● Always secure items in the trailer to prevent
load shift while driving. ●
Lock the trailer hitch coupler with a pin or
lock to prevent the coupler from inadver-
tently becoming unlatched.
● Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops.
● Avoid sharp turns or lane changes.
● Always drive your vehicle at a moderate
speed.
● When backing up, hold the bottom of the
steering wheel with one hand. Move your
hand in the direction in which you want the
trailer to go. Make small corrections and
back up slowly. If possible, have someone
guide you when you are backing up.
Always block the wheels on both vehicle and
trailer when parking. Parking on a slope is not
recommended; however, if you must do so:
CAUTION
If you move the shift selector to the P
(Park) position before blocking the
wheels and applying the parking brake,
transmission damage could occur.
1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
2. Have someone place blocks on the downhill side of the vehicle and trailer wheels. 3. After the wheel blocks are in place, slowly
release the brake pedal until the blocks ab-
sorb the vehicle load.
4. Apply the parking brake.
5. Shift the transmission into P (Park) .
6. Turn off the engine.
To drive away: 1. Start the vehicle.
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into gear.
4. Release the parking brake.
5. Drive slowly until the vehicle and trailer are clear from the blocks.
6. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
7. Have someone retrieve and store the blocks.
