Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) w/ RCCW*†6
The BCW system uses radar sensors to help alert the driver in certain situations
before changing lanes . The light on the BCW button A will illuminate when turned
ON . The outside rearview mirror warning lights will also illuminate for 3 seconds .
The system will become active when the vehicle is traveling faster than 18 mph
and will alert the driver if another vehicle is detected by the radar sensor .
1st-stage alert: When another vehicle is detected within the BCW System
boundary B, a yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors .
2nd-stage alert: When 1st-stage alert is on and the driver activates a turn signal,
a flashing yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and the
system will sound an alert .
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW)*
If the RCCW system sensors detect approaching vehicles from the left or right
side C, the system will sound an audible alert, the warning indicators on the
outside rearview mirror will illuminate and a message will appear on the LCD
screen . The RCCW system is active under the following conditions:
•When the vehicle is in Reverse
•When the vehicle moves in reverse from a parking position
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
REMINDERS:
•
The BCW system will not show a warning if the vehicle speed is only 6 mph above the surrounding vehicles
•If the BCW is turned ON and the ignition is cycled, the BCW system returns to ON
•The RCCW feature can be turned OFF/ON in User Settings and will remain in OFF/ON as selected
•
The RCCW system will show a warning if the approaching vehicle speed is between 2 .5-22 mph within sensing range . See owner's manual for other conditions .
The BCW and RCCW systems are supplemental systems. Do not solely rely on these systems and always pay attention to drive safely. For more information on Blind-Spot Collision Warning, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)†9
The FCA is designed to help alert the driver and, under certain conditions if necessary, apply emergency braking when rapidly
approaching a vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped . Initially, the Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) will provide a warning
when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle in front and emit an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings . To turn the FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again and turn off .
If the system detects that the collision risk increases, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes
to reduce your speed, helping minimize the effects of a possible collision .
FCA can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display . The FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
REMINDERS:
• The FCA /FCW will be activated by default when the ignition is cycled ON, even when previously set to OFF
• The FCA /FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling more than approximately 50 mph
• If the FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA system is automatically turned off
• When FCA system is off, the FCA warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
