Blind spot warning indicator light
JVS0171X
Vehicle center displayThe BCI system operates by detecting
vehicles and/or objects using either the
radar or sonar sensors.
An approaching vehicle from the side:
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from the side, the system chimes a sound
(single beep), the Blind spot warning
indicator light on the side the approaching
vehicle flashes and a yellow rectangular
frame

NOTE:
.In the case of several vehicles ap-
proaching in a row or from the opposite
direction, a chime may not be output to
the BCI system after the first vehicle
passes the sensors.
. When the parking sensor of the Around
View Monitor sounds a tone, the BCI
system does not chime a sound (single
beep).
If the detected vehicle approaches closer
and your vehicle is backing up toward the
detected vehicle, the system chimes a
sound (three times) and a red rectangular
frame
*Aappears on the center display.
The system applies the brake for a
moment. After the automatic brake appli-
cation, the driver must depress the brake
pedal to maintain brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system pushes the accelerator
pedal upward before applying the brake. If
you continue to press the accelerator
pedal, the system will not engage the
brake. A close object behind the vehicle:
If the sonar detects a close object behind
the vehicle when your vehicle is backing
up, the system chimes a sound (three
times) and a red rectangular frame
*A
appears on the center display. The system
applies the brake for a moment. After the
automatic brake application, the driver
must depress the brake pedal to maintain
brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system pushes the accelerator
pedal upward before applying the brake. If
you continue to press the accelerator
pedal, the system will not engage the
brake.
NOTE:
The BCI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.

BCI OFF indicatorThe BCI system is turned off temporarily by
pushing the BCI switch. The BCI OFF
indicator appears on the vehicle informa-

5-52Starting and driving
.The brake engagement by the BCI
system 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 systems under the
following conditions because the system
may not function properly.
—When driving with a tire that is not
within 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
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
—When towing a trailer.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
JVS0183X
BCI temporarily not available
Under the following conditions, the BCI
system will be turned off automatically, a
beep will sound and “BCI NOT AVAILABLE”
warning will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
. When the accelerator pedal actuator
detects that the internal motor tem-
perature is high (over approximately
(2128F) 1008C).
. When side radar blockage is detected.
The BCI system is not available until the
conditions no longer exist.
Turn off the BCI system and turn it on again when the above conditions no longer exist.

JVS0184X
BCI malfunction
When the BCI system malfunctions, it will
be turned off automatically, a beep will
sound and“BCI MALFUNCTION” warning
will appear in the vehicle information
display.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the
warning message continues to appear,
have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
. The two radar sensor units*1for the
BSW, Blind Spot InterventionTMand BCI
(if so equipped) systems are located
near the rear bumper.
— Always keep the area near the radar
sensors clean.
— Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors.
— Do not strike or damage the area
around the radar sensors. —
Consult an INFINITI retailer if the
area around the radar sensors is
damaged due to a collision.
. The Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem
uses the same camera
*2that is used
by the LDW/LDP system located in front
of the inside mirror.
For maintenance of the camera, see “Lane
Departure Warning (LDW)/Prevention (LDP)
system ”earlier in this section.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system automatically maintains a selected
distance from the vehicle traveling in front
of you according to that vehicle’s speed
(up to the set speed), or at the set speed
when the road ahead is clear.
With ICC, the driver can maintain the same
speed as other vehicles without the con-
stant need to adjust the set speed as you
would with a normal cruise control system.

traveling ahead. The sensor generally
detects the signals returned from the
reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, if
the sensor cannot detect the reflector on
the vehicle ahead, the ICC system may not
maintain the selected distance.
The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot detect the signals:
.When the reflector of the vehicle ahead
is positioned high on the vehicle
(trailer, etc.)
. When the reflector on the vehicle ahead
is missing, damaged or covered
. When the reflector of the vehicle ahead
is covered with dirt, snow and road
spray
. When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
. When dense exhaust or other smoke
(black smoke) from vehicles reduces
the sensor’s visibility
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the luggage
area of your vehicle
. When your vehicle is towing a trailer,
etc.
The ICC system is designed to automati- cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitation of the system. When the
sensor is covered with dirt or obstructs, the
system will automatically be canceled. If
the sensor is covered with ice, a transpar-
ent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the ICC
system may not detect them. In these
instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode may not cancel and may not
be able to maintain the selected following
distance from the vehicle ahead. Be sure to
check and clean the sensor regularly.
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is designed to maintain a selected
distance and reduce the speed to match
the slower vehicle ahead; the system will
decelerate the vehicle as necessary, and if
the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill. How-
ever, the ICC system can only apply up to
25% of the vehicles total braking power.
This system should only be used when
traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to
remain fairly constant or when vehicle
speeds change gradually. If a vehicle
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if
a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decele-
rates, the distance between vehicles may
become closer because the ICC system
cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly en-
ough. If this occurs, the ICC system will
sound a warning chime and blink the
system display to notify the driver to take
necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed falls below
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead. The system
will also disengage when the vehicle goes
above the maximum set speed.
See
“Approach warning” later in this
section.
The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
. When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode maintains the speed set
by the driver. The set speed range is
between approximately 20 and 90 MPH
(32 and 144 km/h).
. When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode adjusts the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by driver, from the
vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed
range is up to the set speed. If the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill with-
