SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the BSW
system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
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.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi- tional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer if the area around the radar sensors
is damaged due to a collision.

Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.

TURNING THE BSI SYSTEM ON/
OFF
To turn on the BSI system, push the dynamic
driver assistance switchon the steering
wheel after starting the engine. The LDP/
BSI/DCA ON indicator
on the vehicle
information display will illuminate.
Push the dynamic driver assistance switch
again to turn off the BSI system. LDP/BSI/
DCA ON indicatorwill turn off.
The dynamic driver assistance switch
is
used for the BSI, Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) and Distance Control Assist (DCA)
systems. When the dynamic driver assis-
tance switch
is pushed, the LDP and DCA
systems will also turn on or off simulta-
neously. The BSI system can be individually
set to on or off on the lower display
.
If the system is set to off, the system will not
turn on even if the dynamic driver assistance
switch
is pushed to on. To set the system
to on or off on the lower display, see “How
to enable/disable the BSI system” (P.5-45).

BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSI system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
. The BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSI when certain
objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— A vehicle merging into an adja- cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. — A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles 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, how-
ever objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may oc-
casionally be detected. This is a
normal operation condition.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the BSI system may not operate
properly.
— On roads where there are multi- ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.

.BSI braking 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 vehicle is accelerated dur-
ing BSI system operation.
— When steering quickly
— When the ICC, DCA, PFCW or FEB
warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-
VAILABLE
. If the following messages appear in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound and the BSI system will be turned
off automatically.
— “Not available: Poor Road Condi- tions”:
When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
— “Currently unavailable”: When the VDC system is turned off.
When the SNOW mode is selected.
When the 4WD shift switch is in the
4H or 4L position. (4WD models) Action to take:
Turn off the BSI system and turn it on again
when the above conditions no longer exist.
.
If the following messages appear in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound and the BSI system will be turned
off automatically. The BSI system is not
available until the conditions no longer
exist.
— “Not available: High Camera Temp”:
When the camera detects that the
interior temperature is high (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)).
— “Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruc- tion”:
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 system will resume automatically. If the
“Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction” warn-
ing message continues to appear, have the
system checked. It is recommended you visit
an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSI system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound
and “Malfunction” warning message and
BSW indicator (orange) will appear in the
vehicle information display.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
shift lever in the P (Park) position, turn the
engine off and restart the engine.
If the message and BSW indicator (orange)
continue to appear, have the BSI system
checked. It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.

BCI SYSTEM OPERATION
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.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
stationary objects behind the vehicle, the
system gives visual and audible warnings. If
the driver does not apply the brakes, the
system automatically applies the brake for a
moment when the vehicle is moving back-
wards. After the automatic brake applica-
tion, 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 upward before ap-
plying the brake. If you continue to accel-
erate, the system will not engage the brake.

In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the
opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be issued to the BCI
system after the first vehicle passes the
sensors.
. The sonar system chime indicating there
is an object behind the vehicle has a
higher priority than the BCI chime (single
beep) indicating an approaching vehicle.
If the sonar system detects an object
behind the vehicle and the BCI system
detects an approaching vehicle at the
same time, the following indications are
provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side of the approaching vehicle flashes, and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears in the upper display.

If an approaching vehicle or close object
behind the vehicle is detected when your
vehicle is backing up, a red frame
will
appear in the upper display and the system
will chime three times. Then, the brakes will
be applied momentarily. 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 moves the accelerator
pedal upward before the braking is applied.
However, if you continue to accelerate, the
system will not engage the brakes.
The BCI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.
