INFINITI QX80 2023 Owners Manual

— When a sudden change in bright-ness occurs. (For example: when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
. Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
— During bad weather. (For exam- ple: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
— When driving on winding or un- even roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions
(for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original steering parts or sus-
pension parts. — When towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.

Illustration 10: The BSI system 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.
NOTE:
. The radar sensors may not detect a
vehicle which is traveling at about the
same speed as your vehicle when it
enters the detection zone.
. BSI will not operate or will stop operat-
ing 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.
— When the BSW system is turned off.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-
VAILABLE
When any of the following messages appear
on the vehicle information display, a chime
will sound and the BSI system will be turned
off automatically.
. “Not Available: Poor Road Conditions”:
When the VDC system (except traction
control system function) or ABS oper-
ates.
. “Currently unavailable/Currently not
available”:
— 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)
. “Not Available: High Camera Temp”:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over approximately 104°F (40°C)).
. “Unavailable Side Radar Obstruction”:
When side radar blockage is detected.
Turn off the BSI system and turn it on again
when the above conditions no longer exist.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSI system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, the BSI indicator
illuminates and a chime will sound, and the
“Malfunction” warning message will appear
in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location and push
the park button to engage the P (Park)
position. Turn the engine off and restart the
engine. If the warning message continues to
appear, It is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the BSI 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.
Starting and driving5-51

5-52Starting and driving
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.
The lane camera unit
for BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep the
proper operation of BSI 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
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas around
the camera unit. Do not touch the
camera lens or remove the screw located
on the camera unit. It is recommended
you contact an INFINITI retailer if the
camera unit is damaged due to an
accident.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BCI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The BCI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedure, is not
designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects and does not
provide full brake power. When back-
ing out of parking spaces, always use
the inside and rear 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, traffic or weather con-
ditions could lead to improper system
operation. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.
The BCI system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle or objects behind the
vehicle when the driver is backing out of a
parking space.
JVS1152X
The BCI system uses radar sensorsinstalled on both sides near the rear bumper
to detect an approaching vehicle and sonar
sensors
to detect objects in the rear.

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 systempushes the accelerator upward before ap-
plying the brake. If you continue to accel-
erate, the system will not engage the brake.

When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position, the indicator on the “P”
key
illuminates on the touch screen dis-
play.
