Driving your vehicle
The Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
an indicator on the outer side view
mirrors. (1) Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW)
The Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW) range varies relative to
vehicle speed. Note that if your
vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.
(2) BCW : Closing at high speed The BCW-Closing at high speed
feature will help alert you when a
vehicle is approaching in an adja-
cent lane at a high rate of speed.
If the driver activates the turn sig-
nal when the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert. The time
of alert varies according to the
speed difference between you
and the approaching vehicle.
(3) RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning)
The RCCW feature monitors
approaching cross traffic from the
left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse
below about 6 mph (10 km/h). If
oncoming cross traffic is detected
a warning chime will sound. The time of alert varies according
to the speed difference between
you and the approaching vehicle.

The system may not work prop-erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane
Or when the road is wide, the
system may not detect other
vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
NOTICE
With the system activated, the
warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate 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 Collision Warning
(BCW) system and Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning (RCCW). Do not sole-
ly rely on the system but
check your surrounding
before changing lanes or
backing the vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.
