Function Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Infiniti Q50. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The Blind Spot Intervention system can help alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. Blind Spot Intervention always operates together with Blind Spot Warning.
- The Blind Spot Intervention system operates above approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH).
- The Blind Spot Intervention system uses side radar installed near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles beside vehicle in an adjacent lane.
- The side radar can detect vehicles on either side of vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated.
- This detection zone starts from the outside mirror of vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.
- If the Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention indicator is illuminated while vehicle is approaching a lane marker, the Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention indicator blinks and an audible warning will sound three times. Then the system applies the brakes on one side of the vehicle for a short period of time to help return the vehicle back to the center of the lane.
- Blind Spot Intervention operates regardless of turn signal usage.
- The brightness of Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention indicator lights is adjusted automatically depending on the brightness of the ambient light.
NOTE:
- Blind Spot Intervention is typically activated earlier than LDP when getting closer to the lane marker.
- Warning and brake control will only be activated if the Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Intervention indicator is already illuminated when vehicle approaches a lane marker.
- If another vehicle comes into the detection zone after vehicle has crossed a lane marker, no warning or brake control will be activated.
