Driving your vehicle
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It monitors the rear area of the vehi-
cle and provides information to the
driver. (1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The detection range varies in
accordance with a driving speed.
When your vehicle is faster than
the other vehicles, the system will
not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) When a vehicle approaches you
at a high speed, the system will
warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) When your vehicle moves back-
wards, and when the sensor
detects the approaching vehicle
in the left and right side, the sys-
tem will warn you.

The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
detecting range is about 1 feet ~ 65
feet (0.5 m ~ 20 m). A vehicle will be
detected if the vehicle speed is 2.5 mph
~ 22.4 mph (4km/h ~ 36km/h) within
the detecting range. However, the

approaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound, the warning
light on the outside rearview mirror
will blink and a message will appear
on the LCD display.
Information

cancelled.
• The system may not operate proper- ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.
• If your vehicle's left or right side bumper is blinded by barrier or
vehicles, the system sensing ability
may be reduced.
i
The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.

vehicle is equipped with a
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
