System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW)
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
System (BCW) uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection 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) Closing at high speed
The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when a vehicle is approach-
ing 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.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA)
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System (BCA) detects the
front lane through the camera
installed on the upper front wind-
screen and detects the side/rear
areas through radar sensors.
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System may activate the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in
accordance with a colliding possibili-
ty with an approaching vehicle whilst
changing lanes. It is to lower the col-
liding risk or mitigate the colliding
damage.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System (BCA) may apply
braking power, when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to/behind your vehicle.
It gently applies braking power on
the tyre, which is located in the oppo-
site side of the possibly-colliding
point. The instrument cluster will
inform the driver of the system acti-
vation.
•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.
•Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
System (BCW). Do not solely
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.
WARNING
•The driver should always use
extreme caution whilst oper-
ating the vehicle, whether or
not the warning light on the
outside rearview mirror illumi-
nates or there is a warning
alarm.
•Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning System warning
sounds.
•The warning of the Blind-Spot
Collision Warning System
may not sound whilst other
system's warning sounds.
