WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the LDP system
could result in serious injury or death.
The LDP system will operate when the vehicle is
driven at speeds of approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h) and above, and only when the lane
markings are clearly visible on the road.
The LDP system warns the driver with a warning
light and chime, and helps assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the traveling
lane by applying the brakes to the left or right
wheels individually (for a short period of time) . The LDP system monitors the lane markers on the
traveling lane using the camera unit
1located
above the inside mirror. When the camera unit
detects that the vehicle is traveling close to either
the left or the right of the traveling lane, the Lane
Departure Warning indicator light on the instru-
ment panel blinks in orange and a warning chime
sounds. When the LDP system is on, it will auto-
matically apply the brakes for a short period of
time, using the function of the Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system.

LDP SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDP system operates above approximately
45 mph (70 km/h). When the vehicle approaches
either the left or the right side of the traveling lane,
a warning chime will sound and the LDW indica-
tor light (orange) on the instrument panel will
blink to alert the driver. Then, the LDP system will
automatically apply the brakes for a short period
of time to help assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane.

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 con-
ditions (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.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
5-34Starting and driving

The LDP system may or may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
●On roads where there are multiple par-
allel 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 discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.
●
On roads where there are sharply con-
trasting objects, such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remain-
ing after road repairs. (The LDP system
could detect these items as lane markers.)
● On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
● When the vehicle’s traveling direction
does not align with the lane marker.
● 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 the lane camera
unit. ●
When the headlights are not bright due
to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
● When strong light enters the lane cam-
era unit. (For example, the light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
● When a sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may hear
a sound of brake operation. This is normal and
indicates that the LDP system is operating prop-
erly.SYSTEM TEMPORARILY

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSW system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The BSW system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When changing lanes,
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. Never rely solely on the
BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. The BSW system uses radar sensors
1in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and ex-
tends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) side-
ways.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 mph (32km/h) .
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detec-
tion zone, the side BSW/RCTA indicator light (1)
illuminates. If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side BSW/RCTA
indicator light flashes. The BSW indicator light
continues to flash until the detected vehicles
leaves the detection zone.
The side BSW/RCTA indicator light illuminates
for a few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the side BSW/RCTA indicator
light is adjusted automatically depending on the
