Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)*†6a
The BCW system uses radar sensors to help alert the driver in certain situations,
such as if it detects an approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot 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 more than
approximately 20 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, or when a vehicle is detected within the boundary C approaches
at a high speed, 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 .
REMINDERS:
•The BCW system will only show a warning if the vehicle speed is more than 6 mph above the surrounding vehicles
•If the BCW is turned OFF and the ignition is cycled, the BCW system returns to ON
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW)*†6a
If the RCCW system sensors detect approaching vehicles from the rear left or rear right
side of the vehicle D, 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 gear shift is in Reverse
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph

If the LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an
audible warning and display a LDW (Lane Departure Warning) alert on the instrument
cluster . If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, the LK A will apply a slight
adjustment to the steering, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane .
LK A is the operating mode by default when the LK A button is
depressed to ON . To switch between modes (Lane Keep Assist,
Active LK A and Lane Departure), go to User Settings in the
Instrument Cluster .
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
•The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane markers the
vehicle is traveling in
