BSI SYSTEM OPERATIONY51D-V-E01-96B4C4EA-DE72-44A7-840F-25C8167EECC1If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located by the outside mirrors illumi-
nates. If your vehicle is approaching a lane
marker, the BSW/BSI indicator light
flashes and an audible warning will sound
three times. Then the system applies the
brakes on one side of the vehicle for a
short period of time to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI
operates regardless of turn signal usage.NOTE:
.
Warning and system application of the
brakes will only be activated if the
BSW/BSI indicator light is already
illuminated when your vehicle ap-
proaches a lane marker. If another
vehicle comes into the detection zone
after your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no warning or brake applica-
tion will be activated. (See “BSW/BSI
driving situations” (P.5-40).)
. 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 is activated even if the BSW system is
off.

WARNING
.Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the system
may not function properly.
—During bad weather (for example,
Condition:

Black plate (341,1)
[ Edit: 2013/ 10/ 21 Model: Y51-D ]
rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.)
—When driving on slippery roads,such as on ice or snow, etc.
—When driving on winding or uneven roads.
—When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
—When driving in a makeshift lane.
—When driving on roads where thelane width is too narrow.
—When driving with a tire that is notwithin normal tire conditions (for
example, tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire chains,
non-standard wheels).
—When the vehicle is equipped withnon-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
.The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSI/BSW when
certain objects are present such as: —
Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
— Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles
— Oncoming vehicles
— Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop
(See “BSW/BSI driving situations”
(P.5-40))
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle
(See “BSW/BSI driving situations”
(P.5-40))
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
(See “BSW/BSI driving situations”
(P.5-40))
— A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
(See “BSW/BSI driving situations”
(P.5-40))
. Severe weather or road spray condi-
tions may reduce the ability of the
radar to detect other vehicles.
. 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 vehicles
in an adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors may
detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may occa-
sionally be detected. This is a normal
operating condition.
. The camera may not detect lane mar-
kers in the following situations and the
BSI system may not operate properly.
— On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-
standard lane markers; lane mar-
kers 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 sha-
dows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining after road
repairs.

5-40Starting and driving
—On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direc-
tion does not align with the lane
markers.
— When traveling close to the vehicle
in front of you, which obstructs the
lane camera unit detection 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.)

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.

BSW/BSI temporarily not availableY51D-V-E01-BCB965FD-668A-45F0-B379-B81097129CFD. Under the following conditions, the BSI
system will be turned off automatically,
a beep will sound and the BSI ON
indicator light (green) will blink. The
BSW system is still available, but the
BSI system will not be available until
the conditions no longer exist.
— When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
— When the VDC system is turned off.
— When the drive mode select switch
is turned to the SNOW mode.
Action to take:
Turn off the BSI system and turn it on again
when the above conditions no longer exist.
. Under the following conditions, the
BSW and BSI systems will be turned
off automatically, a beep will sound
and the BSW/BSI system warning light (orange) will blink. The BSW and BSI
systems are not available until the
conditions no longer exist.
—
When the camera detects that the
interior temperature is high (over
approximately 1048F (408C)).
— When radar blockage is detected.
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.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the BSW system will resume automatically.
For the BSI system, turn it off and turn it on
again. If the BSW/BSI warning light (or-
ange) continues to blink even after the BSI
system is turned on again, stop the vehicle
in a safe location and turn the engine off.
Check for and remove objects obscuring
the radar sensors on the rear bumper, and
restart the engine.
If the warning light (orange) continues to
blink, have the BSW/BSI systems checked
by an INFINITI retailer.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCEY51D-V-E01-D1226349-BD2C-45E4-A69E-A2AB56D76D9A.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.
. 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 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 lane camera
*2for the BSI system
is located above the inside mirror.
