OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate.
However, this is not a malfunction. After
the coolant temperature warms up, the air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
The sensors
*Aand*Blocated on the
instrument panel help maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or
around the sensors.
LINKING INTELLIGENT KEY

. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not function
and the low tire pressure warning light
will flash for approximately 1 minute.
The light will remain on after 1 minute.
Contact your INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or aerosol
tire sealant into the tires, as this may
cause a malfunction of the tire pressure
sensors.
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with tire
chains or the wheels are buried in snow.
. Do not place metalized film or any metal
parts (antenna, etc.) on the windows.
This may cause poor reception of the
signals from the tire pressure sensors, and the TPMS will not function properly.
Some devices and transmitters may tem-
porarily interfere with the operation of the
TPMS and cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. Some exam-
ples are:
.
Facilities or electric devices using simi-
lar radio frequencies are near the
vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequen-
cies is being used in or near the
vehicle.
. If a computer (or similar equipment) or
a DC/AC converter is being used in or
near the vehicle.

BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) AND
BLIND SPOT INTERVENTIONTMSYS-
TEMS
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind
Spot InterventionTMsystems can help alert
the driver of other vehicles in adjacent
lanes when changing lanes.
JVS0098X
The BSW system uses radar sensors*1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle in an
adjacent lane. In addition to the radar
sensors, the Blind Spot Intervention sys-
tem uses a camera
*2installed behind the
windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane.

Detection zone
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 extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3 m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10 ft (3 m) sideways.
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detect a vehicle in the detection
zone, the the Blind spot warning indicator
light illuminates. If the driver then acti-
vates the turn signal, a chime will sound
twice and the Blind spot warning indicator
light will flash. The Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem
operates above approximately 37 MPH
(60 km/h). If the system detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is
approaching the lane marker, the Blind
Spot Intervention
TMsystem provides an
audible warning (three times), flashes the
Blind spot warning 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
Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem provides
an audible warning and turns on or flashes
the Blind spot warning indicator light even
if the BSW system is off.
WARNING
. The BSW and Blind Spot InterventionTM
systems are not a replacement for proper
driving procedure and are not designed
to prevent 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 or Blind
Spot Intervention
TMsystem. .
Using the Blind Spot Intervention
TM
system under some road, lane marker
or weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Always rely
on your own steering and braking
operation to avoid accidents.
. The BSW and Blind Spot Intervention
TM
systems may not provide a warning or
brake control for vehicles that pass
through the detection zone quickly.

Blind spot warning indicator light
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the Blind spot warning
indicator light located inside the outside
mirrors illuminates. If the turn signal is
then activated, the Blind spot warning
indicator light flashes and a chime sounds
twice. The indicator light continues to flash
until the detected vehicles leave the
detection zone.
The Blind spot warning indicator lights
illuminate for a few seconds when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position.The brightness of the Blind spot warning
indicator lights is adjusted automatically
depending on the brightness of the ambi-
ent light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver
activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes
into the detection zone after the driver
activates the turn signal, then only the
Blind spot warning indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. (See
“BSW/Blind
Spot Intervention
TMdriving situations”
later in this section.)

BLIND SPOT INTERVENTIONTMSYS-
TEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the Blind spot warning
indicator light located inside the outside
mirrors illuminates. If your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the Blind spot
warning indicator light flashes and an
audible warning will sound three times.
Then the system applies the brakes on one
side of the vehicle for a short period of
time to help return the vehicle back to the
center of the lane. Blind Spot Interven-
tion
TMoperates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
.
Warning and brake control will only be
activated if the Blind spot warning
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. (See
“BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TMdriv-
ing situations” later in this section.)
. The Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem is
typically activated earlier than the
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) sys-
tem when your vehicle is approaching
a lane marker.
The Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem turns
on when the dynamic driver assistance
switch on the steering wheel is pushed
when the “Blind Spot Intervention” is
enabled in the settings menu on the center
display. The Blind Spot Intervention
TMON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the Blind Spot
Intervention
TMsystem is turned on.
The Blind Spot InterventionTMsystem
provides an audible warning and flashes the indicator light when Blind Spot Inter-
vention
TMis activated even if the BSW
system is off.

rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.)
—When driving on slippery roads,such as on ice or snow, etc.
—When driving on winding or uneven
roads.
—When there is a lane closure due toroad repairs.
—When driving in a makeshift lane.
—When driving on roads where thelane width is too narrow.
—When driving with a tire that is notwithin normal tire conditions (for
example, tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire chains,
non-standard wheels).
—When the vehicle is equipped withnon-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
. Do not use the BSW or Blind Spot
Intervention
TMsystems 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.
. The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate Blind Spot Interven-
tion
TM/BSW when certain objects are
present such as:
—Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
—Several types of vehicles such as motorcycles
—Oncoming vehicles
—Vehicles remaining in the detectionzone when you accelerate from a
stop
(See “BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TM
driving situations” later in this sec-
tion)
—A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as your vehicle
(See
“BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TM
driving situations” later in this sec-
tion)
—A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
(See “BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TM
driving situations” later in this sec-
tion)
—A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
(See “BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TM
driving situations” later in this sec-
tion)
. Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
. The radar sensors detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect vehi-
cles in an adjacent lane. When driving in
a narrow lane, the radar sensors may
detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
