(VDC) system” later in this section.) Turn
the drive mode select switch to the SPORT
position. “SPORT”appears in the vehicle
information display for 2 seconds.
NOTE:
In the SPORT mode, fuel economy may be
reduced.
SNOW MODE
Used on snowy roads or slippery areas.
When the SNOW mode is activated, engine

ECO position.
“ECO”appears in the vehicle
information display for 2 seconds and the
ECO drive indicator light illuminates on the
instrument panel.

BSW/BSI indicator light
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located inside the outside mirrors
illuminates. 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
detected vehicles leave 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 dependingon 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
BSW/BSI indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. (See
“BSW/BSI driving
situations” later in this section.)

Warning systems switch
The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the BSW system when it is

When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
*1on the switch is off.
The indicator will also be off if the BSW, the
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and the

5-36Starting and driving
NOTE:
.Warning and brake control will only be
activated if the BSW/BSI indicator light
is already illuminated when your vehi-
cle approaches a lane marker. If
another vehicle comes into the detec-
tion zone after your vehicle 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 Lane Departure Pre-
vention (LDP) system when your vehi-
cle is approaching 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 center display. The BSI ON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the BSI system is
turned on.
The BSI system provides an audible warn-
ing and flashes the indicator light when
BSI system is activated even if the BSW
system is off.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
.The two radar sensor units*1for the
BSW and BSI systems are located near
the rear bumper. Always keep the area
near the radar sensors clean. Do not
attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area
around the radar sensors. Consult an
INFINITI retailer if the area around the
radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.
. The BSI system uses the same camera
*2that is used by the LDW/LDP system located in front of the inside mirror.
For maintenance of the camera, see “Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) system/Lane
Departure Prevention (LDP) system” earlier
in this section.
