LDW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the LDW system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper use
of the LDW system could result in serious
injury or death.
●This system is only a warning device to
inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer
the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It
is the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
● The system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 45 mph (70 km/h)
or if it cannot detect lane markers. ●
If the LDW system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically, and “Malfunction:
See Owner’s Manual” will appear in the
vehicle information display. If Malfunc-
tion: See Owner’s Manual” appears in
the vehicle information display, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle. Place shift lever to the P (Park)
position and the ignition switch to the
OFF position and restart the hybrid sys-
tem. If “Malfunction: See Owner’s
Manual” continues to appear in the ve-
hicle information display, have the sys-
tem checked. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this
service.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
● Do not use the LDW system under the
following conditions as it may not func-
tion properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) .
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads. – When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift or tem- porary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, nonstandard
wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
The system may not function properly under the
following conditions:
● 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; or lane
markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where the discontinued lane mark-
ers are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.

LDP SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the LDP system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper use
of the LDP system could result in serious
injury or death.
●The LDP system will not steer the ve-
hicle or prevent loss of control. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane, and be in control of the vehicle at
all times.
● The LDP system is primarily intended
for use on well-developed freeways or
highways. It may not detect the lane
markers in certain roads, weather or
driving conditions.
● The LDP system may activate if you
change lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a
construction zone directs traffic to
cross an existing lane marker. If this
occurs you may need to apply corrective
steering to complete your lane change. ●
Because the LDP may not activate un-
der the road, weather, and lane marker
conditions described in this section, it
may not activate every time your vehicle
begins to leave its lane and you will
need to apply corrective steering.
● When the LDP system is operating,
avoid excessive or sudden steering ma-
neuvers. Otherwise, you could lose con-
trol of the vehicle.
● The LDP system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
● Do not use the LDP system under the
following conditions as it may not func-
tion properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) .
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs. – When driving in a makeshift or tem-
porary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
– When driving without 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 nonoriginal brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
● If the LDP system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The LDP system
warning light (orange) will illuminate in
the display.
● If LDP system warning light (orange)
illuminates in the display, pull off the
road to a safe location and stop the
vehicle. Turn the hybrid system off and
restart the hybrid system. If the LDP
system warning light (orange) contin-
ues to illuminate, have the LDP system
checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light 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.

5-50Starting and driving

– Illustration e: When the angle formedby your vehicle and approaching ve-
hicle is small.
● The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice build up on the vehicle
– Frost build up on the vehicle
– Dirt up on the vehicle
● Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
● The sonar sensors detect stationary ob-
jects behind the vehicle. The sonar sen-
sor 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 sys-
tem 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 (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
● Do not use the BCI systems when tow-
ing a trailer.
● Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.SYSTEM TEMPORARILY NOT
AVAILABLE
If the following messages appear on the vehicle
information display, a chime will sound and the
BCI system will be turned off automatically.
● “Unavailable High Accelerator Temp.”:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over ap-
proximately 104°F (40°C)) and then started,
the BCI system may be deactivated auto-
matically and the “Unavailable High Accel-
erator Temp” message will appear in the
vehicle information display for a period of
time.
When the interior temperature is reduced,
turn off the BCI system and turn it on again.
● “Unavailable Side Radar Obstruction”:
When side radar blockage is detected.
When the blockage is removed, turn off the
BCI system and turn it on again.
Starting and driving5-63

●The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the ICC system under the following
conditions:
– On roads where the traffic is heavy or there are sharp curves
– On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the bumper around the distance sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads
– When traffic conditions make it diffi- cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by other radar sources. ●
Do not use the ICC system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.
● In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Always
stay alert and avoid using the ICC sys-
tem where not recommended in this
warning section.
The radar sensor will not detect the following
objects: ● Stationary and slow moving vehicles
● Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
● Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
● Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
The following are some conditions in which the
sensor cannot properly detect a vehicle ahead
and the system may not operate properly: ● When snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.
● When excessively heavy baggage in loaded
in the rear seat or the cargo area of your
vehicle. The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s operation within the limita-
tions of the system.
The detection zone of the ICC sensor is limited. A
vehicle ahead must be in the detection zone for
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance detection mode
to maintain the selected distance from the vehicle
ahead.
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detec-
tion zone due to its position within the same lane
of travel. Motorcycles may not be detected in the
same lane ahead if they are traveling offset from
the centerline of the lane. A vehicle that is enter-
ing the lane ahead may not be detected until the
vehicle has completely moved into the lane.
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have to
manually control the proper distance away
from the vehicle traveling ahead.

Spot Intervention® (BSI)” in this section.
DCA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
● This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
● This system will not adapt automatically
to road conditions.
● As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the DCA system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed
by depressing the brake pedal, depend-
ing on the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circumstances in
order to maintain a safe distance be-
tween vehicles.
● The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the DCA system under the following
conditions: – On roads with sharp curves
– On slippery road surfaces such as on
ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the sensor area of the front bumper
– On steep downhill roads (frequent braking may result in overheating the
brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads
● Do not use the DCA system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.
● In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. You may
need to control the distance from other
vehicles using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the DCA
system where not recommended in this
warning section.

WARNING
●Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite
and cause a fire.
● Safe parking procedures require that
both the parking brake be set and the
transmission placed into P (Park) . Fail-
ure to do so could cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly or roll away and re-
sult in an accident. Make sure the shift
lever has been pushed as far forward as
it can go and cannot be moved without
depressing the foot brake pedal. ●
Never leave the engine running while
the vehicle is unattended.
● To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others or pets unattended in
your vehicle. Additionally, the tempera-
ture inside a closed vehicle on a warm
day can quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury or
death to people and pets.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position. 3. To help prevent the vehicle from rolling into
traffic when parked on an incline, it is a good
practice to turn the wheels as illustrated.
● HEADED DOWNHILL WITH CURB:
A
Turn the wheels into the curb and move the
vehicle forward until the curb side wheel
gently touches the curb.
● HEADED UPHILL WITH CURB:
B
Turn the wheels away from the curb and
move the vehicle back until the curb side
wheel gently touches the curb.
● HEADED UPHILL OR DOWNHILL, NO
CURB:
C
Turn the wheels toward the side of the road
so the vehicle will move away from the cen-
ter of the road if it moves.
4. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK posi- tion.
