Illustration 2 NOTE:
.
In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing 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 sonar system detects an
object behind the vehicle and the BCI
system detects an approaching vehicle
at the same time, the following indica-
tions are provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side of
the approaching vehicle flashes, and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears
in the display.

Upper display
If an approaching vehicle or object behind
the vehicle is detected when your vehicle is
backing up, a red frame
will appear on the
upper display and the system will chime
three times. Then, the brakes will be applied
momentarily. 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 moves the accelerator
pedal upward before the braking is applied.
However, if you continue to accelerate, the
system will not engage the brakes.
The BCI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.

BCI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BCI system. Failure to operatethe vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
.
Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you
before backing up. .
The radar sensors detect approach-
ing (moving) vehicles. The radar sen-
sors cannot detect every object such
as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, 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
approaching vehicles in certain situa-
tions:
— 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 approach- ing vehicle turns into your vehi-
cle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration e. When the angle formed by your vehicle and ap-
proaching vehicle is small.
. The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles:
Starting and driving5-63

5-64Starting and driving
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build up on thevehicle
. 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
sensors to detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle. The sonar
sensor may not detect:
— Small or moving objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Object close to the bumper (less than approximately 1 ft (30 cm))
— Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.
. 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 system may not
function properly.
. Do not use the BCI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly. — When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire conditions
(for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.

the shift lever in the P (Park) position. Turn
the engine off and restart the engine. If the
warning message continues to appear, have
the system checked. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.JVS0863X
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the BCI system
is located near the rear bumper. Always keep
the area near the radar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary 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 radar sensors. Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer if the area around the radar sensors
is damaged due to a collision.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise indicator and the set vehicle
speed are displayed in the vehicle informa-
tion display. The cruise indicator indicates
the status of the cruise control system by the
color.
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 90 MPH (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the
MAIN switch on. The cruise indicator (white)
will come on.
To set cruising speed, accelerate yourvehicle to the desired speed, push the SET/
COAST (-) switch and release it. (The cruise
indicator (green) will illuminate.) Take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle
will maintain the set speed.
.
To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the
previously set speed.
. The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
happens, drive without the cruise con-
trol.
To cancel the preset speed, follow any of
these methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch.
2. Tap the brake pedal.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off.
After any of the above operations is per-
formed, the color of the cruise indicator will
change from green to white.
. If you depress the brake pedal while
pushing the RESUME/ACCELERATE
(+) or SET/COAST (-) switch and reset
at the cruising speed, the cruise control
will disengage. Turn the MAIN switch off
once and then turn it on again.
. The cruise control will automatically
cancel if the vehicle slows more than 8
MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed.

.If you move the shift lever to N (Neutral)
position, the cruise control will be can-
celed.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET/COAST (-) switch.
. Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELER-
ATE (+) switch. When the vehicle attains
the speed you desire, release the switch.
. Push, then quickly release the RESUME/
ACCELERATE (+) switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the SET/COAST (-) switch and release it.
. Push and hold the SET/COAST (-)
switch. Release the switch when the
vehicle slows down to the desired speed.
. Push, then quickly release the SET/
COAST (-) switch. Each time you do this,
the set speed will decrease by about 1
MPH (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the RESUME/ACCELERATE (+)
switch. The vehicle will resume the last set
cruising speed when the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40 km/h).WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.
ICC is not a collision avoidance or
warning device. For highway use only
and it is not intended for congested
areas or city driving. Failure to apply
the brakes could result in an accident.
. Always observe posted speed limits
and do not set the speed over them.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using either cruise con-
trol mode. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly before
using the cruise control. To avoid
serious injury or death, do not rely
on the system to prevent accidents or
to control the vehicle’s speed in
emergency situations. Do not use
cruise control except in appropriate
road and traffic conditions.
. In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, a warning chime
will not sound to warn you if you are
too close to the vehicle ahead. Pay
special attention to the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC) (if so equipped)

ahead of you or a collision could
occur.
The ICC system maintains a selected dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of you within
the speed range of 0 to 90 MPH (0 to 144
km/h) up to the set speed. The set speed can
be selected by the driver between 20 to 90
MPH (32 to 144 km/h).
The vehicle travels at a set speed when the
road ahead is clear.
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes.
. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode:
For maintaining a selected distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you up to the preset speed.
. Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode:
For cruising at a preset speed.
