This approach provides various measures to help the driver and
passengers better avoid dangers in ways that are optimized to
each of a wide range of circumstances that the vehicle may be
in, from “risk has not yet appeared” to “post-crash.”

Blind Spot Intervention
6. ＢＳＩ (Blind Spot Intervention)
BSI helps the driver when changing lanes by providing information
6
and assistance to help avoid a vehicle in the blind spot.
1) BSI issues an audible and visible warning upon activation of turn signal when a vehicle
is in the blind spot.
2) When the vehicle approaches the adjacent lane, BSI issues an audible and visible
warning and in addition, helps the driver to maneuver the vehicle back into the original
driving lane by generating a yaw moment.

Test drive
• Improved straight line stability with less sway feeling
• Improved cornering with quick and linear response
for anyone to feel “Composure and Exhilaration.”
Evolutions from Infiniti G37
To help improve the response,
so that anyone can get driving-pleasure at anytime
To add the Sports mode,
so that anyone can select a suitable mode for the driving scene
15. By adopting high performance actuators and ECU,
more delicate control is achieved resulting in motion
just as the driver intended with a harmonized feel.
