    The colored guide lines on the display screen indicate vehicle width and\
 approximate 
distances to objects with reference to the vehicle body line.
    • Red 1.5 ft (0.5 m); Yellow 3 ft (1 m); Green 7 ft (2 m) and 1\
0 ft (3 m).
 
    There are some areas where the system will not show objects.
    •  When in the front or the rear view display, an  
object below the bumper or on the ground may  
not be viewed 
 2. 
    •  When in the bird’s-eye view, a tall object near  
the seam of the camera viewing areas 
 3  
will not appear in the monitor.
 
    The distance between objects viewed on the Around View®  
Monitor (AVM) differs from the actual distance.
 
    Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear further  
than the actual distance.
MOVING OBJECT DETECTION (MOD)
 
    If the MOD system detects moving objects  
surrounding the vehicle, a yellow frame 
 4 will 
be displayed on the camera image and a chime  
will sound.
 
    In the bird’s-eye view, a yellow frame is displayed  
on those camera images (front, rear, right, left)  
where moving objects are detected.
 
  When the following are displayed:
    •  Blue MOD icon 
 5; the system is operative in this view.
    •  Gray MOD icon 
 6; the system is not operative in this view.
    •  No MOD icon; the system is off.
 
  To temporarily turn the system on or off, touch the Sonar-MOD key  7.

Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI) (if so equipped)
    The BCI system can help alert the driver of an approaching vehicle or ob\
jects behind the 
vehicle when backing out of parking spaces.
 
    The rear radar sensors detect the approaching vehicle from up to approxi\
mately  
49 ft (15 m) from the bumper.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot Intervention® (BSI)  
(if so equipped)
     The BSW system alerts the driver when another 
vehicle moves into the vehicle’s detection zone.
 
    An indicator light located near the outside mirror 1  
will illuminate if the radar sensors detect a vehicle 
in the detection zone.
 
    The BSI system can assist the driver in returning 
the vehicle to the center of the traveling lane by 
applying individual brake pressure to the left or right wheels for a sho\
rt 
period of time. 
 
    The indicator light 2  will first illuminate in orange and then turn green 
before extinguishing. This indicates that the BSW and BSI systems   
are operational. 
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

new system features
Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) (if so equipped)
     The PFCW system can help alert the driver when there is sudden braking o\
f the second 
vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle ahead that is traveling in the\
 same lane.
 
    The PFCW uses a sensor in the front bumper to measure the distance of a \
second vehicle 
ahead in the traveling lane. The system operates at speeds above 3 mph (\
5 km/h).
 
    If there is a potential risk, the PFCW will warn the driver with a blink\
ing driver assist system 
forward indicator and an audible warning tone will be heard.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) (if so equipped)
    The LDW system can help alert the driver when the vehicle is traveling t\
oo close to either 
the left or the right side of a traveling lane.
 
    The system will operate when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approxim\
ately 45 mph  
(70 km/h) and above and only when the lane markings are clearly visibl\
e on the road.
 
     When the vehicle approaches either the left or the right side of the tra\
veling 
lane, the LDW system will chime and the orange LDW light 
1  on the 
instrument panel will blink to alert the driver.
 
    The LDW system can be turned on and off through 
the Settings menu in the vehicle information 
display. To temporarily turn off the system, push the 
warning systems switch 
2 . 
 
    When the system is off, the indicator light 3  on the 
switch is off.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your 
Owner’s Manual.
Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) (if so equipped)
     The FEB system can assist the driver when there is a risk of a forward c\
ollision with the 
vehicle in the traveling lane.
 
    The FEB operates at speeds greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
 
    If there is a risk of a collision, an audible tone will be heard, a visu\
al warning will display 
and the vehicle will push up on the accelerator pedal. If the driver rel\
eases the accelerator 
pedal, the vehicle will begin applying the brakes; however, if the drive\
r does nothing, the 
system will issue another audible and visual warning and apply the brake\
s harder.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
    A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will  
appear in the vehicle information display 
1  and  
the low tire pressure warning light 
2  will illuminate 
when one or more tires are low in pressure and air  
is needed.
    •  The tire pressures should be checked when the 
tires are cold. The tires are considered cold after 
the vehicle has been parked for 3 hours or more or 
driven less than 1 mi (1.6 km) at moderate speeds.
 
    After the tire pressures are adjusted, drive the vehicle at speeds above\
 16 mph  
(25 km/h). The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message and low tire pressure warning 
light 
2  will extinguish.
 
    When the low tire pressure warning light 2  flashes for 1 minute and then remains on, the 
TPMS is not functioning properly. Have the system checked. It is recomme\
nded you visit 
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
 
    Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicl\
e’s operation and 
the outside temperature. Low outside temperature can lower the temperatu\
re of the air 
inside the tire, which can cause a lower tire inflation pressure. This m\
ay cause the low tire 
pressure warning light 
2  to illuminate. If the warning light illuminates, check the tire 
pressure in your tires.
    •  Check the tire pressure (including the spare tire) often and always pr\
ior to long   
distance trips.
 
    The Tire and Loading Information label contains valuable information. Pl\
ease refer to the  
“Technical and consumer information” (section 9) of your Owner’\
s Manual for the location 
of the Tire and Loading Information label.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)”, the “Starting and driving (section 5)” and the  
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself (section 8)” of your Owner’s Manual.
