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
a indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors. (1) BCW : Blind spot area
The BCW range varies relative to
vehicle speed. Note that if your
vehicle is travelling 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 alert you when a vehi-
cle is approaching in an adjacent
lane at a high rate of speed. If the
driver activates the turn signal
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 oncom-
ing 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.

Information
• The warning chime will turn offwhen:
- The detected vehicle moves out ofthe sensing area or
- when the vehicle is right behind your vehicle or
- when the vehicle is not approach- ing your vehicle or
- when the other vehicle slows down.
• The system may not operate proper- ly due to other factors or circum-

i(Continued)
The Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) System and
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning (RCCW) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving practices. Always
drive safely and use caution
when changing lanes or back-
ing up your vehicle. The Blind-
Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
System may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.
With the system activated, the
warning light on the outside
rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detect-
ed at the rear side by the sys-
tem.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
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 whilst driving.
