Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSI system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The BSI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, al-
ways 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 BSI
system.
● There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar. Not
every moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI system under
some road, ground, lane marker, traffic
or weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid
accidents.
● The BSI system operates above ap-
proximately 37 mph (60 km/h).
The BSI system can help alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. The BSI system uses a camera
1installed be-
hind the windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane and radar sensors
2installed
near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles in
an adjacent lane.
The BSI system operates above approximately
37 mph (60 km/h). If the system detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is ap-
proaching the lane marker, the BSI system pro-
vides an audible warning (three times) , flashes
the BSW indicator light and slightly applies the
brakes for a short period of time on one side to
help return the vehicle back to the traveling lane.
The BSI system provides an audible warning and
turns on or flashes the BSW indicator light even if
the BSW system is off.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the BSW indicator light located near
the outside mirrors illuminates. If your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the system chimes a
sound (three times) and the BSW indicator light
flashes. Then the system applies the brakes on
one side of the vehicle for a moment to help return
the vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI
operates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
Warning and brake control will only be ac-
tivated if the BSW indicator light is already
illuminated when your vehicle approaches
a lane marker. If another vehicle comes into
the detection zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or brake
control will be activated. For additional in-
formation, refer to “BSI driving situations”
in this section. The BSI system is typically
activated earlier than the Lane Departure
Prevention (LDP) system when your vehicle
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 “Driver Assistance” menu on the
vehicle information display. The BSI ON indicatorlight on the instrument panel illuminates when the
BSI system is turned on.
The BSI system provides a chime and turns on or
flashes the BSW indicator light even if the BSW
system is off.

BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSI system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSI when certain
objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a
stop. For additional information, re-
fer to “BSI driving situations” in this
section.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle. For additional
information, refer to “BSI driving
situations” in this section. – A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind. For additional information,
refer to “BSI driving situations” in
this section.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over- takes rapidly. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “BSI driving situations”
in this section.
– A vehicle that passes through the de- tection zone quickly.
● The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed 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 ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
● The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects, however
objects such as guardrails, walls, foli-
age and parked vehicles may occasion-
ally be detected. This is a normal driving
condition.
● Severe weather or road spray condi-
tions may reduce the ability of the radar
to detect other vehicles. ●
The camera may not detect lane mark-
ers 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 markers
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 shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams
or lines remaining after road repairs.
– 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.

Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 5: The BSW indicator light illuminates
if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle stays in
the detection zone for approximately 3 seconds.
The radar sensors may not detect slower moving
vehicles if they are passed quickly.Illustration 6: If the driver activates the turn signal
while another vehicle is in the detection zone,
then the system chimes a sound (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes.
Illustration 7: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone the system
chimes a sound (three times) and the BSW indi-
cator light flashes. Then, the BSI system slightly
applies the brakes on the appropriate side to help
return the vehicle back to the center of the driving
lane.

tion, be sure to observe the following:
● Always keep the windshield and the area
near the radar sensors clean.
LSD2153
5-56Starting and driving

●The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary 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 camera unit or radar
sensors.
● 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 area around the
radar sensors. Do not touch the camera lens
or remove the screw located on the camera
unit. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer if the camera unit and/or
area around the radar sensors is damaged
due to a collision.Radio frequency statement

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BCI system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The BCI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure, is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects and does not provide full
brake power. When backing out of park-
ing space, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direc-
tion you will move. Never rely solely on
the BCI system. ●
There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar. Us-
ing the BCI systems under some road,
ground, lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper sys-
tem operation. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.
The BCI systems can help alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle or objects behind the ve-
hicle when the driver is backing out of a parking
space.
When the shift position is R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h), the BCI system operates. The BCI system uses radar sensors
1installed
on both sides near the rear bumper to detect an
approaching vehicle and sonar sensors to detect
objects in the rear.
The radar sensors
1detect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft (15 m)
away. The sonar sensors
2detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle up to approximately
4.9 ft (1.5 m)
