WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions 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 procedure
and is not designed to prevent con-
tact with vehicles or objects. When
changing lanes, always use the side
and rear mirrors and turn and look in
the direction you will move to ensure
it is safe to change lanes. Never rely
solely on the I-BSI system.
• There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Not every moving object or vehicle
will be detected. Using the I-BSI sys-
tem under some road, ground, lane
marker, traffic or weather conditions
could lead to improper system op-
eration. Always rely on your own op-
eration to avoid accidents.
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. The I-BSI system uses radar sensors
O1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addi-
tion to the radar sensors, the I-BSI system
uses a camera
O2installed behind the
windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated.
The detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10f t (3.0m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10f t (3.0 m) sideways.

NOTE:
• I-BSI warning and system applicationwill only be activated if the side indica-
tor light is already illuminated when
your vehicle approaches a lane marker.
If another vehicle comes into the de-
tection zone af ter your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no I-BSI
warning or system application will be
activated. For additional information,
see “I-BSI driving situations” (P. 5-71).
• The I-BSI system is typically activated prior to the Intelligent Lane Interven-
tion (I-LI) system when your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker.
To turn on the I-BSI system, push the ProPI-
LOT Assist switch on the steering wheel
af ter starting the engine. The I-BSI indica-
tor will illuminate. Push the ProPILOT Assist
switch again to turn off the I-BSI system.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for the I-BSI sys-
tem are located near the rear bumper. Al-
ways keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit a certified
NISSAN dealer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
O2for I-BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of I-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
