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, thesystem chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues 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.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE BSW
SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the BSW system.
1. Push the
button until “Set-
tings” appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display and then push the OK. Use the
button to select “Driver Assis-
tance”. Then push the OK.
2. Select “Blind Spot” and push the OK.
3. Select “Warning (BSW)” and push the OK.
The warning systems switch
is used to
turn on and off the BSW system when it is
activated on the vehicle information dis-
play. When the warning systems switch
is turned off, the warning systems ON
indicator lighton the switch is off.
The warning systems switch
will turn
on and off the LDW and BSW systems at
the same time.
NOTE:
The system will retain current settings
in the vehicle information display even
if the engine is restarted.
BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions 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 certain 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 de- tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
— When overtaking several vehi- cles in a row, the vehicles after
the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling
close together. .
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,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
. The following conditions may re-
duce 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 ac-
cessories 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
vehicle, turn the BSW system off
to prevent the occurrence of an
unexpected accident resulting
from sudden system operation.
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

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.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the BSW
system will be turned off automatically, a
chime will sound and the “Unavailable
Side Radar Obstruction” warning mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
The system is not available until the
conditions no longer exist.
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.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-
BSI) and the Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) systems will also stop working.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer
exist, the system will resume automati-
cally.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSW system malfunctions, it will
be turned off automatically, the BSW
indicator illuminates and the “Malfunc-
tion” warning message will appear in the
vehicle information display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-
BSI) (if so equipped) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems will also
stop working.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, turn
the engine off and restart the engine. If
the message continues to appear, have
the BSW system checked. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

WAF0721X
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 obstruct-
ing the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar
sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors.
See a NISSAN dealer or other authorized
repair shop if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-
BSI system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The I-BSI system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dures and is not designed to
prevent contact with vehicles or
objects. When changing lanes, al-
ways use the side and rear mir-
rors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move
to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the I-
BSI system.
. There is a limitation to the detec-
tion capability of the radar. Not
every moving object or vehicle
will be detected. Using the I-BSI
system under some road, ground,
lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper
system operation. Always rely on
your own operation to avoid ac-
cidents.
The I-BSI system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes, and helps assist the driver to return the vehicle to the center
of the traveling lane.
WAF0769X
The I-BSI system uses radar sensorsinstalled near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In
addition to the radar sensors, the I-BSI
system uses a camera
installed behind
the windshield to monitor the lane mar-
kers of your traveling lane.
INTELLIGENT BLIND SPOT
INTERVENTION (I-BSI)

SSD1030
Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the
detection zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone starts from the out-
side mirror of your vehicle and extends
approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0
m) sideways.

I-BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 MPH (60 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
Starting and driving5-47

5-48Starting and driving
system chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues to flash until the detected
vehicle leaves the detection zone.
If the I-BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the
system chimes (three times) and the side
indicator light flashes. Then the I-BSI
system slightly applies the brakes to help
return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane. The I-BSI system oper-
ates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
.I-BSI warning and system applica-
tion will only be activated if the side
indicator light is already illuminated
when your vehicle approaches a
lane marker. If another vehicle
comes into the detection zone after
your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no I-BSI warning or system
application will be activated. (See “I-
BSI driving situations” (P.5-51).)
. The I-BSI system is typically acti-
vated earlier than the Intelligent
Lane Intervention (I-LI) system when
your vehicle is approaching a lane
marker.
