NOTE:
.The Blind Spot InterventionTMsystem
will not operate if your vehicle is on a
lane marker when another vehicle
enters the detection zone. In this case
only the BSW system operates.
. Blind Spot Intervention
TMbraking will
not operate or will stop operating and
only a warning chime will sound under
the following conditions.
— When the brake pedal is depressed.
— When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed while brake control assist
is provided. —
When steering quickly
— When the ICC, DCA, FCW or IBA
warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
BSW/Blind Spot InterventionTM
temporarily not available
. Under the following conditions, the
Blind Spot InterventionTMsystem will
be turned off automatically, a beep will
sound and the Blind Spot Interven-
tion
TMON indicator light (green) will
blink. The BSW system is still available,
but the Blind Spot Intervention
TMsys-
tem will not be available until the
conditions no longer exist.
— When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
— When the VDC system is turned off.
— When the drive mode select switch
is turned to the SNOW mode.
Action to take:
Turn off the Blind Spot Intervention
TM
system and turn it on again when the
above conditions no longer exist. .
Under the following conditions, the
BSW and Blind Spot Intervention
TM
systems will be turned off automati-
cally, a beep will sound and the BSW/
Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem warn-
ing light (orange) will blink. The BSW
and Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystems
are not available until the conditions no
longer exist.
— When the camera detects that the
interior temperature is high (over
approximately 1048F (408C)).
— When radar blockage is detected.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary 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.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the BSW system will resume automatically.
For the Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem,
turn it off and turn it on again. If the BSW/
Blind Spot Intervention
TMwarning light
(orange) continues to blink even after the
Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem is turned
on again, stop the vehicle in a safe location
and turn the engine off. Check for and

remove objects obscuring the radar sen-
sors on the rear bumper, and restart the
engine.
If the warning light (orange) continues to
blink, have the BSW/Blind Spot Interven-
tion
TMsystems checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
BSW/Blind Spot InterventionTM
malfunction
When the BSW/Blind Spot InterventionTM
systems malfunction, they will be turned
off automatically, a beep will sound and
the BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem
warning light (orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn the
engine off and restart the engine.
If the warning light (orange) continues to
illuminate, have the BSW/Blind Spot Inter-
vention
TMsystems checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
BACK-UP COLLISION INTERVENTION
(BCI) SYSTEM (if so equipped)
The Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI)
system can help alert the driver of
approaching vehicles or rear objects when
the driver is backing out of a parking
space.
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the BCI
system operates.

5-46Starting and driving
JVS0169X
The BCI system uses radar sensors*1
installed on both sides near the rear
bumper to detect an approaching vehicles
and sonar sensors
*2to detect objects in
the rear.
The radar sensors
*1detect the approach-
ing vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft
(15 m) away. The sonar sensors
*2detect
a rear obstacle at up to approximately 4.9
ft (1.5 m) from the bumper. Refer to the
illustration for approximate zone coverage
areas
*3.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
objects in the rear, the system gives visual and audible warnings, and applies the
brake for a moment when the vehicle is
moving backwards. After the automatic
brake application, the driver must depress
the brake pedal to maintain brake pres-
sure. If the driver’s foot is on the accel-
erator pedal, the system pushes the
accelerator upward before applying the
brake. If you continue to press the accel-
erator, the system will not engage the
brake.
WARNING
.
The BCI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not
designed to prevent contact with vehi-
cles or objects. When backing out of
parking space, always use the inside
and outside rearview mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will move.
Never rely solely on the BCI system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Using the BCI system 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.

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.
