Your INFINITI contains a suite of advanced safety systems to keep you and your passengers safe on the road. They use advanced camera, radar, and sensor systems to identify danger so you can avoid it. We’re going to look at some of these INFINITI driver assistance features.
Exploring INFINITI Driver Assistance Features
Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW)
Front collision warning systems are installed in many modern vehicles. They use cameras and radar to identify a car ahead of you, assess its speed and distance from your vehicle, then compare it to your speed. If the system determines you’re closing too fast, you receive warnings to brake or swerve and avoid a collision. Your INFINITI, however, takes this protection to a whole new level.
PFCW monitors the vehicle ahead and the one beyond it using a highly advanced radar scanner. Since the system can see two cars ahead, it provides more warning time than any other system. Every second counts in a potential accident situation, and the extra time PFCW gives you can easily be the difference between a near miss and a collision. In addition, PFCW can instantly apply automatic hard braking if needed to avoid an accident.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Backing up can be dangerous if you’re in a busy street or reversing out of a mall parking space, as you can’t easily see a vehicle approaching behind you. This system makes reversing easy and safe, as it uses specialized radar sensors located in the rear bumper to scan to the left, right, and directly behind you and alerts you of any movement.
If a vehicle is detected, an audible chime sounds, and a warning light appears on the side view mirror corresponding to the other vehicle’s position. This gives you enough time to move forward into the parking space or brake and avoid a collision. If you’re unable to brake in time, the system’s Rear Automatic Braking feature engages and applies the brakes for you.
Blind Spot Warning and Blind Spot Intervention
These two technologies work together to protect you when you change lanes. It’s almost impossible to see a vehicle that enters one of your blind spots, and this can easily result in an accident as you enter a neighboring lane. Blind Spot Warning uses sensors to continually scan your blind spots for approaching vehicles and provides visual and audible warnings if it detects anything.
If you’re changing lanes when you receive the above warnings, you have to brake or turn back into your lane and avoid a collision. Blind Spot Intervention will activate if you continue to move. It applies light braking and corrects your steering to pull you back into your lane.
