for the BSI system are located

near the rear bumper. To keep the proper
operation of the BSI system and prevent a
system malfunction, be sure to observe the
following:
• Always keep the windshield and the area

near the radar sensors clean.

LSD2924

Starting and driving

5-65

• The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-

porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog. The blocked condi-
tion may also be caused by objects such as
ice, frost or dirt obstructing the radar sen-
sors. Check for and remove objects ob-
structing

the

area

around

the

radar

sensors.

• Do not attach stickers (including transpar-

ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the camera unit or
radar sensors.

• Do not place reflective materials, such as

white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.

• Do not strike or damage the area around

the radar sensors. Do not touch the camera
lens or remove the screw located on the
camera unit. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer if the camera unit

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RCTA system
could result in serious injury or death.

•

The RCTA system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the di-
rection your vehicle will move. Never rely
solely on the RCTA system.

The RCTA system will assist you when back-
ing out from a parking space. When the ve-
hicle is in reverse, the system is designed to
detect other vehicles approaching from the
right or left of the vehicle. If the system de-
tects cross traffic, it will alert you.

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
(RCTA)

Starting and driving

5-67

RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION

1. Side indicator light

The RCTA system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle when the driver is
backing out of a parking space.

When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and
the vehicle speed is less than approximately 5
mph

(8

km/h),

the

RCTA

system

is

operational.

If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from either side, the system chimes (once)
and the side indicator light flashes on the side
the vehicle is approaching from.

LSD3608

5-68

Starting and driving

The RCTA system uses radar sensors
