Intelligent blind spot intervention (I-BSI) (if so equipped)
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 O2 installed 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 10ft (3.0m) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 10ft (3.0 m) sideways.
Detection zone
I-BSI SYSTEM OPERATION 1 Side indicator light 2 BSW indicator
3 Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI) indicator
4 ProPILOT Assist switch 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 (1) illuminates. If the turn signal is then activated, the sys- tem chimes (twice) and the side indicator light flashes. The side indicator light contin- ues to flash until the detected vehicle leaves the detection zone. The brightness of the side indicator light is adjusted auto- matically depending on the brightness of the ambient light. 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. The I-BSI system activates by controlling the steering input of the vehicle for a short period of time to help return the vehicle back to the center of the driving lane. The I-BSI system operates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE: • I-BSI warning and system application
will 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 after 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. 5-69).
• 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 after starting the engine. The I-BSI indica- tor will illuminate. Push the ProPILOT Assist switch again to turn off the I-BSI system. The I-BSI indicator will turn off.
HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE I-BSI SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or disable the I-BSI system: 1. Press the button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display. Use the scroll dial to select “Driver Assis- tance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Blind Spot Assist” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Intervention” and use the OK but- ton to turn the system on or off.
4. Push the ProPILOT Assist switch to turn the system on or off.
NOTE: Turning on the ProPILOT Assist system will turn on the I-BSI and I-LI system at the same time. For additional informa- tion, see “Intelligent Lane Intervention (I- LI)” (P. 5-43). Turning the BSW system off will deacti- vate the I-BSI system at the same time.
I-BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for the I-BSI system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in seri- ous injury or death.
• The I-BSI system cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to detect and activate I-BSI when cer- tain objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clearance vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate from a stop. For additional infor- mation, see “BSI driving situa- tions” (P. 5-69).
– Oncoming vehicles.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately 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 sensors’ detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a wider lane, the radar sensors may not detect ve- hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv- ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen- sors may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ig- nore most stationary objects; how- ever, objects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally 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/dirt build-up on the vehicle
• Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install acces- sories or apply additional paint near the radar sensors. These conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
• The camera may not detect lane markers in the following situations and the I-BSI system may not oper- ate properly.
– On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane mark- ers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane mark- ers; non-standard lane markers; lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp curves.
– On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shad- ows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs.
– On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direc- tion does not align with the lane markers.
– When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob- structs the lane camera unit de- tection range.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of a lane camera unit.
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (For example: light directly shines on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– 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 I-BSI system under the following conditions because the system may not function properly.
– During bad weather (for example: 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 (e.g., tire wear, low tire pressure, instal- lation of spare tire, tire chains, nonstandard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or sus- pension parts.
– When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
• Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, open vehicle window) will in- terfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.

Another vehicle approaching from behind Illustration 1: The side indicator light illumi- nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
Starting and driving 5-69
Illustration 2: If the driver activates the turn signal then the system chimes a sound (twice) and the side indicator light flashes.
Illustration 3: 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 activates to help return the vehicle back to the center of the driving lane.
NOTE: • The radar sensors may not detect ve-hicles which are approaching rapidly from behind.
• If the driver activates the turn signal before a vehicle enters the detection zone, the side indicator light will flash but no chime will sound when the other vehicle is detected.
Overtaking another vehicle Illustration 4: The side indicator light illumi- nates if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle stays in the detection zone for ap- proximately 3 seconds.
Illustration 5: If the driver activates the turn signal while another vehicle is in the detec- tion zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the side indicator light flashes.
Illustration 6: 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. The I-BSI system activates to help return the vehicle back to the center of the driving lane.
NOTE: • When overtaking several vehicles in arow, the vehicles after the first vehicle may not be detected if they are travel- ing close together.
• The radar sensors may not detect slower moving vehicles if they are passed quickly.
Entering from the side Illustration 7: The side indicator light illumi- nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone from either side.
NOTE: The radar sensors may not detect a ve- hicle which is traveling at about the same speed as your vehicle when it en- ters the detection zone.
Illustration 8: If the driver activates the turn signal while another vehicle is in the detec- tion zone, then the side indicator light flashes and a chime will sound twice.
NOTE: If the driver activates the turn signal be- fore a vehicle enters the detection zone, the side indicator light will flash but no chime will sound when another vehicle is detected.
Illustration 9: If the I-BSI system is on and your vehicle approaches the lane marker while another vehicle is in the detection zone, the system chimes (three times) and the side indicator light flashes. The I-BSI system activates to help return the vehicle back to the center of the driving lane.
Illustration 10: The I-BSI system will not op- erate 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 ve-
hicle which is traveling at about the same speed as your vehicle when it en- ters the detection zone.
• I-BSI will not operate or will stop oper- ating and only a warning chime will sound under the following conditions: – When the brake pedal is depressed. – When the vehicle is accelerated dur- ing I-BSI system operation. – When steering quickly. – When the ICC, I-FCW or AEB with Pe- destrian Detection 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 UNAVAILABLE Under the following conditions, a chime will sound, the following message will appear in the vehicle information display and the I-BSI system will be turned off automati- cally. The I-BSI system will not be available until the conditions no longer exist. • “Not available Poor Road Conditions”
– When the VDC system (except TCS function) or ABS operates.
• “Currently not available” – When the VDC system is turned off.
– When the SNOW mode, or the MUD/ RUT mode or SAND mode (4WD mod- els only) is selected
• “Unavailable High Cabin Temperature”: 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 I-BSI system and turn it on again when the above conditions no lon- ger exist. SYSTEM MALFUNCTION When the I-BSI system malfunctions, it will be turned off automatically, a chime will sound, and the “Not available System Mal- function” warning message with the BSW indicator (orange) will appear in the vehicle information display.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en- gine off and restart the engine. If the “Not available System Malfunction” warning message with the BSW indicator (orange) continues to be displayed, have the I-BSI system checked. It is recommended you visit a certified NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE The two radar sensors O1 for 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.
