warning light INFINITI JX 2013 Manual Online

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 brake engagement by the BCI system
is not as effective on a slope, as it is on flat
ground. When on a steep slope, the sys-
tem may not function properly.
Do not use the BCI systems under the
following conditions because the system
may not function properly.– 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 BCI systems when towing a
trailer.
Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
When the shift selector is placed in R (Reverse)
position, the BCI ON appears in the meter dis-
play. 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 the approaching vehicle flashes and a
yellow rectangular frame appears in the display.
NOTE:
● In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row or in the opposite direction, a chime
may not be issued to the BCI system after
the first vehicle passes the sensors.
● When the sonar system sounds a tone, the
BCI system does not chime this sound
(single beep) .

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

PRECAUTIONS ON VEHICLE-TO-
VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL
MODE
The system is intended to enhance the operation
of the vehicle when following a vehicle traveling in
the same lane and direction.
If the distance sensor
Adetects a slower mov-
ing vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the
vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows the
vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle
and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle
braking power) if necessary. The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 490 ft (150 m) ahead.
WARNING
●
This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
● The system is primarily intended for use
on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the
system in city traffic or congested
areas.
● This system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
The distance sensor will not detect the following
objects: ● Stationary and slow moving vehicles
● Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
● Oncoming vehicles in the same lane ●
Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
WARNING
●As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control
system. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in
rain, fog, or other bad weather. Deceler-
ate the vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the surround-
ing circumstances in order to maintain
a safe distance between vehicles.
● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.
● The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the Intelligent Cruise Control sys-
tem under the following conditions:
