Warning range is dependent on
your vehicle speed. However, if the
speed of your vehicle is faster by
10km/h or more than other nearby
vehicles, the warning is not operat‐ ed.

your vehicle at high speed, the
warning is operated.

When your vehicle moves back‐
ward, the sensor detects approach‐
ing vehicles to the left or right side
direction and warning is operated.
WARNING
•Always check the road conditionwhile driving for unexpected situa‐tions even though the Blind-SpotCollision Warning (BCW) system isoperating.
