Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist operation

Driving-Warning

2C_BCAVehicleDetection

  • To warn the driver a vehicle is detected, the warning light on the corresponding outside rear-view mirror illuminates.

  • Blind-Spot Collision Warning operates when your vehicle speed is above 20 km/h and the speed of the vehicle in the blind spot area is above 10 km/h.

  • Collision warning operates when the turn signal is turned on in the direction of the detected vehicle.

  • To warn the driver of a collision, the warning light on the corresponding outside rear-view mirror blinks. At the same time, an audible warning sounds.

  • When the turn signal is turned off, the collision warning is cancelled and Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist returns to vehicle detection state.

  • The detecting range of the rear corner radar is determined by a standard road width, therefore, on a narrow road, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may detect other vehicles two lanes over and warn you. In contrast, on a wide road, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not be able to detect a vehicle driving in the next lane and may not warn you.

  • When the hazard warning flasher is on, the collision warning by the turn signal will not operate.

As the driver’s seat is on the right side, the collision warning may occur when you turn right. Maintain a proper distance with the vehicles in the right lane.

The images and colours in the instrument cluster may differ depending on the instrument cluster type or theme selected from the settings menu.

  • To warn the driver of a collision, the warning light on the corresponding outside rear-view mirror blinks and a warning message appears on the instrument cluster. At the same time, an audible warning sounds and the steering wheel vibrates.

  • Emergency braking will be assisted to help prevent collision with the vehicle in the blind spot area.

  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist operates when your vehicle speed is below 3 km/h and the speed of the vehicle in the blind spot area is above 5 km/h.

  • When the vehicle is stopped due to emergency braking, the “Drive carefully” warning message appears on the instrument cluster.

    For your safety, the driver should press the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.

  • Brake control ends after the vehicle is stopped by emergency braking for about 2 seconds.

Take the following precautions when using Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist:

  • For your safety, only change the Settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.

  • If any other system’s warning message appears or audible warning is being generated, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist’s warning message may appear and an audible warning may not be generated.

  • You may not hear the warning sound of Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist if the surroundings are noisy.

  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate if the driver applies the brake pedal to avoid a collision.

  • When Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is operating, braking control by the function automatically cancels when the driver excessively presses the accelerator pedal or sharply steers the vehicle.

  • During Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist operation, the vehicle may stop suddenly injuring passengers and shifting loose objects. Ensure ALL passengers are wearing a seat belt and keep loose objects secured.

  • Even if there is a problem with Blind- Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, the vehicle’s basic steering and braking performance operates properly.

  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate in all situations and cannot avoid all collisions.

  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may warn the driver late or may not warn the driver depending on the road and driving conditions.

  • Driver should maintain control of the vehicle at all times. Do not depend on Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist. Maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, press the brake pedal to reduce driving speed or to stop the vehicle.

  • Never test Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist on people, animal, objects, etc. It may cause serious injury or death.

The brake control may not operate properly depending on the status of ESC (Electronic Stability Control).

There will only be a warning when:

  • The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is on

  • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function
