Smart Rearview Mirror (if so
equipped)
WARNING
. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
Smart Rearview Mirror could result
in serious injury or death.
— The Smart Rearview Mirror is a convenience feature but it is not a
substitute for proper vehicle op-
eration. The system has areas
where objects cannot be viewed.
Check the blind spot of the Smart
Rearview Mirror before vehicle
operation. The driver is always
responsible for safe driving.
— Do not disassemble or modify the Smart Rearview Mirror, the cam- era unit or wirings. If you do, it
may result in accidents or fire. In
case you notice smoke or smell
coming from the Smart Rearview
Mirror, stop using the system
immediately. It is recommended
that you see an INFINITI retailer
for servicing.
— Do not operate the Smart Rear- view Mirror while driving. Doing
so can be a distraction and it could
lose control of your vehicle and
cause an accident or serious in-
jury.
— Do not gaze into the Smart Rear- view Mirror display during driv-
ing. It may cause a distraction and
it could lose control of your vehi-
cle and cause an accident or
serious injury.
— Do not put a cigarette or flames to the Smart Rearview Mirror, the
camera unit or wirings. It may
cause a fire.
. Be sure to adjust the Smart Rearview
Mirror before driving. Switch the
system to the conventional rearview
mirror mode and be properly seated
on the driver’s seat. Then adjust the
mirror so as to see the rear window properly. Driving without adjusting
the mirror may cause difficulty in
watching the display at Smart Rear-
view Mirror mode (camera view
mode) due to the reflection from the
surface of the mirror.
. If the Smart Rearview Mirror mal-
functions, immediately switch the
system to the conventional rearview
mirror mode.
. When strong light (for example, sun-
light or high beams from following
vehicles) enters the camera, a light
beam or a glaring light may appear on
the monitor screen of the Smart
Rearview Mirror. In that case, switch
the system to the conventional rear-
view mirror mode appropriately.
. If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on
the exterior glass surface covering
the camera, the Smart Rearview
Mirror may not display objects
clearly. Use of the rear window
wiper/washer may improve visibility,
but if not, switch the Smart Rearview
Mirror to the conventional rearview
mirror mode until a time the glass
covering the camera can be cleaned.

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
.Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may affect
the function of the system, including
reduced performance or a false acti-
vation.
. The system is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or moving
objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may
not detect objects close to the bum-
per or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the
following objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow, cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain. — Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper fascia, leaving it misaligned
or bent, the sensing zone may be
altered causing inaccurate measure-
ment of objects or false alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system

Advanced Climate Control System
(if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the ion control and the automatic air
intake control with exhaust gas detecting
sensor.
Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster
®ions into the air blown from
the ventilators and reduces odor absorbed
into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster
®ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner’s air stream not
only suppress airborne bacteria and reduce
the adherence of odors to the interior trim,
but also have a proven skin moisture pre-
serving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions auto-
matically.
The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions in-
creases according to the amount of air flow.
When the air flow is high,
is displayed on
the display screen and when the air flow is
low, the indication in the screen changes to

decreases significantly or if windows fog up
easily when operating the heater or air
conditioner.
SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control system in your vehicle is
charged with a refrigerant designed with the
environment in mind.
This refrigerant will
not harm the earth’s ozone layer. However,
special charging equipment and lubricant are
required when servicing your air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will
cause severe damage to your climate control
system. (See “Capacities and recommended
fluids/lubricants” (P.10-2) for climate con-
trol system refrigerant and lubricant recom-
mendations.)
An INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly climate control
system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under
high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician
with the proper equipment.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The BSW system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedure and is
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 your vehicle will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when chan-
ging lanes.
JVS1146X
The BSW system uses radar sensorsinstalled near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane.
SSD1030
Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated. This detec-
tion zone starts from the outside mirror of
your vehicle and extends approximately 10
ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and
approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.
When the turn signal is activated, the
detection zone may extend more than
approximately 10 ft (3.0 m).

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.

.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.
— When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles after the
first vehicle may not be detected
if they are traveling close to-
gether. .
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/dirt build-up on the vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
. When towing a trailer or other ve-
hicle, turn the BSW system off to
prevent the occurrence of an unex- pected accident resulting from sud-
den system operation.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.
