5-22Starting and driving
WARNING
.Be sure the parking brake is fully
released before driving. Failure to do
so can cause brake failure and lead to
an accident.
. Do not release the parking brake
from outside the vehicle.
. Do not use the gear shift in place of
the parking brake. When parking, be
sure the parking brake is fully en-
gaged.
. To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not
leave children, people who require the
assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
SPA2331
To apply: Fully depress the parking brake
pedal.
To release:
1. Firmly apply the foot brake
.
2. Depress the parking brake pedal
and
the parking brake will be released.
3. Before driving, be sure the brake warning light goes out.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the LDW
and LDP (if so equipped) systems could
result in serious personal injury or death.
.The LDW and LDP (if so equipped)
systems will not steer the vehicle 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 (if so equipped) 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 system (if so
equipped) may not activate under
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.

Condition C
If the following messages appear in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound and the LDP system (if so equipped)
will be turned off automatically.
.“Not available: Poor Road Conditions”:
— 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:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system (if so equipped) by
pushing the dynamic driver assistance
switch. Push the dynamic driver assistance
switch again to turn the LDP system (if so
equipped) back on.
Temporary disabled status at high
temperature
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then
started, the LDW and LDP (if so equipped)
systems may be deactivated automatically
and the following message will appear in the
vehicle information display: “Not available: High Camera Temp”
When the interior temperature is reduced,
the LDW system will resume operating
automatically.
For the LDP system (if so equipped), when
the interior temperature is reduced, turn off
the LDP system by pushing the dynamic
driver assistance switch. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch again to turn the
LDP system back on.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the LDW and/or LDP (if so equipped)
system malfunctions, it will turn off auto-
matically. The “Malfunction” warning mes-
sage and LDW indicator (orange) will appear
in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the
engine off and restart the engine. If the
message and LDW indicator (orange) con-
tinue to appear, have the system checked. It
is recommended you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for this service.SSD0453
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitfor the LDW/LDP (if
so equipped) systems is located above the
inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW/
LDP (if so equipped) systems and prevent a
system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight

Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the BSW system.
1. Push the MENU button
and touch
[Driver Assistance] on the lower display.
2. Touch [Blind Spot Assist].
3. Touch [Blind Spot Warning] to enable or disable the system.
The displayed keys on the lower display may
vary depending on models, specifications
and software versions.
BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
. The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when cer-
tain objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
— 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 following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect
other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/snow build-up on the vehicle
— Dirt build-up on the vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
