rage door opener depends on the garage
door drive system. Several attempts might
be necessary. You should test every posi-
tion for at least 25 seconds before trying
another position.
Synchronizing the rolling code
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you
will need to use the programing button on the door drive control panel. The programing
button may be positioned at different loca-
tions depending on the manufacturer. It is
usually located on the door drive unit on the
garage ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door
drive operating instructions before carrying
out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the ga-
rage door or gate opener drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2. Get out of the vehicle.
3. Press the programing button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to ini-
tiate the next step.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit1for the LDW system
is located above the inside mirror.
To ensure the proper operation of the LDW
system and prevent a system malfunction, be
sure to observe the following:
•Always keep the windshield clean.
•Do not attach a sticker (including transpar-
ent material) or install an accessory near
the camera unit.
•Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.
•Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove parts from the camera unit.
If the camera unit is damaged due to an
accident, it is recommended you contact
an INFINITI retailer.WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSW system
could result in serious injury or death.
•The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system
is not a replacement for proper driving
procedure and is not designed to pre-
vent contact with vehicles or objects.
When changing lanes, always use the
side and rear mirrors and turn and look in
the direction you will move to ensure it is
safe to change lanes. Never rely solely
on the BSW system.
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system can
help alert the driver of other vehicles in adja-
cent lanes when changing lanes.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW)
SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
5-36Starting and driving

The sonar function is deactivated for the rear
area when you establish an electrical connec-
tion between your vehicle and a trailer.
RANGE OF THE SENSORS
The sonar function does not take into ac-
count obstacles located:
•Below the detection range, e.g. persons,
animals or objects.
•Above the detection range, e.g. overhang-
ing loads, tail sections or loading ramps of
goods vehicles.
SONAR FUNCTION OFF SWITCH
The sonar function OFF switch2on the
lower side of the instrument panel allows the
driver to turn the sonar function on and off.
To turn the sonar function system on and off,
the ignition switch must be in the ON posi-
tion. The indicator light
1on the switch will
illuminate when the system is turned off.
The sonar function will turn on automatically
when the ignition switch is turned from the
OFF position to the ON position.

Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and a computer.
The computer has a built-in diagnostic fea-
ture that tests the system each time you start
the engine and move the vehicle at a low
speed in forward or reverse. When the self-
test occurs, you may hear a “clunk” noise
and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal.
This is normal and does not indicate a mal-
function. If the computer senses a malfunc-
tion, it switches the ABS off and illuminates
the ABS warning light on the instrument
panel. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance. If the
ABS warning light illuminates during the self-
test or while driving, have the vehicle
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 3 to 6
MPH (5 to 10 km/h). The speed varies ac-
cording to road conditions.
When the ABS senses that one or more
wheels are close to locking up, the actuator
rapidly applies and releases hydraulic pres-
sure. This action is similar to pumping the
brakes very quickly. You may feel a pulsation
in the brake pedal and hear a noise from
under the hood or feel a vibration from the
actuator when it is operating. This is normal
and indicates that the ABS is operating prop-
erly. However, the pulsation may indicate
that road conditions are hazardous and extra
care is required while driving.The Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system
uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs
and vehicle motion. Under certain driving
conditions, the VDC system helps to perform
the following functions.
•Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel
slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is
transferred to a non slipping drive wheel
on the same axle.
•Controls brake pressure and engine output
to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle
speed (traction control function).
•Controls brake pressure at individual
wheels and engine output to help the
driver maintain control of the vehicle in the
following conditions: – understeer (vehicle tends to not follow the steered path despite increased
steering input)
– oversteer (vehicle tends to spin due to certain road or driving conditions).
The VDC system can help the driver to main-
tain control of the vehicle, but it cannot pre-
vent loss of vehicle control in all driving situ-
ations.
VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC)
SYSTEM
Starting and driving5-93

When the VDC system operates, the VDC
warning light in the instrument panel flashes
so note the following:
•The road may be slippery or the system
may determine some action is required to
help keep the vehicle on the steered path.
•You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal
and hear a noise or vibration from under
the hood. This is normal and indicates that
the VDC system is working properly.
•Adjust your speed and driving to the road
conditions.
See " Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warning
light" in the "2. Instruments and controls" sec-
tion.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
VDC warning light
illuminates in the
instrument panel. The VDC system automati-
cally turns off.
WARNING
•The VDC system is designed to help the
driver maintain stability but does not pre-
vent accidents due to abrupt steering op-
eration at high speeds or by careless or
dangerous driving techniques. Reduce ve-
hicle speed and be especially careful when driving and cornering on slippery surfaces
and always drive carefully.
•Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
If suspension parts such as shock ab-
sorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer bars,
bushings and wheels are not INFINITI
recommended for your vehicle or are ex-
tremely deteriorated, the VDC system
may not operate properly. This could
adversely affect vehicle handling per-
formance, and the VDC warning light
may illuminate.
•If brake related parts such as brake
pads, rotors and calipers are not
INFINITI recommended or are extremely
deteriorated, the VDC system may not
operate properly and the VDC warning
light
may illuminate.
•If engine control related parts are not
INFINITI recommended or are extremely
deteriorated, the VDC warning light
may illuminate.
•When driving on extremely inclined sur-
faces such as higher banked corners, the
VDC system may not operate properly
and the VDC warning light
may illu-
minate. Do not drive on these types of
roads.
•When driving on an unstable surface
such as a turntable, ferry, elevator or
ramp, the VDC warning light
may
illuminate. This is not a malfunction. Re-
start the engine after driving onto a
stable surface.
•If wheels or tires other than the INFINITI
recommended ones are used, the VDC
system may not operate properly and
the VDC warning light
may illumi-
nate.
•The VDC system is not a substitute for
winter tires or tire chains on a snow cov-
ered road.
•If VDC is malfunctioning, VDC is unable
to stabilize the vehicle. In addition,
other driving safety systems are
switched off. This increases the risk of
skidding and an accident. Drive on care-
fully. Have VDC checked. It is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
this service.
CAUTION
•When VDC is deactivated, theVDC OFF warning light lights up con-
tinuously.
