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.
