BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) AND IN-

TELLIGENT BLIND SPOT INTERVENTION

SYSTEMS

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Intelligent

Blind Spot Intervention systems can help alert

the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes

when changing lanes.

SSD1030

Detection zone

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. If the camera unit is damaged

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 outside mirror of your vehicle and

extends approximately 3 m (10 ft) behind the

rear bumper, and approximately 3 m (10 ft)

sideways.

dealer.

a NISSAN

The BSW system operates above approximately

32 km/h (20 MPH). If the radar sensors detect a

vehicle in the detection zone, the Blind spot

warning indicator light illuminates. If the driver

then activates the turn signal, a chime will

sound twice and the Blind spot warning

indicator light will flash.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system

operates above approximately 60 km/h (37

MPH). If the system detects a vehicle in the

detection zone and your vehicle is approaching

the lane marker, the Intelligent Blind Spot

Intervention system provides an audible warn-

ing (three times), flashes the Blind spot warning

indicator light and slightly applies the brakes

for a short period of time on one side to help

return the vehicle back to the traveling lane.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system

provides an audible warning and turns on or

flashes the Blind spot warning indicator light

even if the BSW system is off.

WAF0272X

Example

The BSW system uses radar sensors installed

near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles

beside your vehicle in an adjacent lane. In

addition to the radar sensors, the Intelligent

Blind Spot Intervention system uses a camera

installed behind the windshield to monitor

the lane markers of your traveling lane.

The BSW and Intelligent Blind Spot Inter-

vention systems are not a replacement

for proper driving procedure and are 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 you will move to

ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never

rely solely on the BSW or Intelligent Blind

Spot Intervention system.

Using the Intelligent Blind Spot Interven-

tion system under some road, lane mar-

ker or weather conditions could lead to

improper system operation. Always rely

on your own steering and braking opera-

tion to avoid accidents.

Precautions on BSW/Intelligent Blind

Spot Intervention system

.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention

system is typically activated earlier than

the Intelligent Lane Intervention system

when your vehicle is approaching a lane

marker.

WARNING:

.

Do not use the Intelligent Blind Spot

Intervention system under the following

conditions because the system may not

function properly.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system

turns on when the dynamic driver assistance

switch on the steering wheel is pushed when

the “Blind Spot Intervention” is enabled in the

settings menu on the lower display (model with

dual display) or the center display (model with

single display).

— During bad weather (for example,

rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.)

JVS1214X

— When driving on slippery roads, such

as on ice or snow, etc.

1. Push the MENU button

and touch [Driver

Assist] on the lower display.

2. Touch [Blind Spot Assist].

— When driving on winding or uneven

roads.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention/Intelli-

gent Lane Intervention ON indicator (on the

vehicle information display) or the Intelligent

Blind Spot Intervention ON indicator light

(green) (on the meter panel) illuminates when

the Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system is

turned on.

The Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system

provides an audible warning and flashes the

indicator light when Intelligent Blind Spot

Intervention is activated even if the BSW

system is off.

— When there is a lane closure due to

road repairs.

— When driving in a makeshift lane.

3. Touch [Blind Spot Intervention] to enable or

disable the system.

Model with single display

— When driving on roads where the lane

width is too narrow.

— When driving with a tire that is not

within normal tire conditions (for

example, tire wear, low tire pressure,

installation of spare tire, tire chains,

non-standard wheels).

— When the vehicle is equipped with

non-original brake parts or suspen-

sion parts.

.

Do not use the BSW or Intelligent Blind

Spot Intervention systems when towing a

trailer (models with trailer hitch).

.

Excessive noise (for example, audio sys-

tem volume, open vehicle window) will

interfere with the chime sound, and it

may not be heard.

The radar sensors may not be able to

detect and activate Intelligent Blind Spot

Intervention/BSW when certain objects

are present such as:

.

The radar sensors detection zone is de-

signed 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 vehi-

cles driving two lanes away.

— 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 cam-

era unit. (For example, light directly

shines on the front of the vehicle at

sunrise or sunset.)

— When a sudden change in brightness

occurs. (For example, when the vehi-

cle enters or exits a tunnel or under a

bridge.)

.

The radar sensors are designed to ignore

most stationary objects, however objects

such as guardrails, walls, foliage and

parked vehicles may occasionally be

— Several types of vehicles such as

motorcycles

detected. This is

a normal operating

condition.

— Oncoming vehicles

The camera may not detect lane markers

in the following situations and the Intel-

ligent Blind Spot Intervention system

may not operate properly.

— On roads where there are multiple

parallel lane markers; lane markers

that are faded or not painted clearly;

yellow painted lane markers; non-

standard lane markers; lane markers

covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.

— Vehicles remaining in the detection

zone when you accelerate from
