SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

The lane camera unit

for the LDW/LDP (if

so equipped) systems is located above the
inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW/
LDP (if so equipped) systems 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 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.

.

There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar. Not every
moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSW system
under some road, ground, lane mar-
ker, traffic or weather conditions
could lead to improper system opera-
tion. Always rely on your own opera-
tion to avoid accidents.

The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when chan-
ging lanes.

JVS1146X

The BSW system uses radar sensors
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
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 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.

.

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/snow build-up on the

vehicle

— Dirt build-up on the vehicle

.

Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSI
system could result in serious injury or
death.

.

The BSI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures 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 BSI system.

.

There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar. Not every
moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the 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 accidents.

The 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.

JVS1149X

The BSI system uses radar sensors
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition
to the radar sensors, the BSI system uses a
camera

installed behind the windshield to

monitor the lane markers of your traveling
lane.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION

The 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
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.
If the 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 BSI system slightly
applies the brakes to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the driving lane. The
BSI system operates regardless of turn
signal usage.

NOTE:

.

Warning and system application of the

brakes 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 warning or
system application of the brakes will be
activated. (See “BSI driving situations”

(P.5-46).)

.

The BSI system is typically activated

earlier than the Lane Departure Preven-
tion (LDP) system when your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker.
