The ISG system is to help reduce the
fuel consumption by automatically
shutting down the engine, when the
vehicle is at a standstill (i.e. red stop
light, stop sign, and traffic jam).
The engine is automatically started
upon satisfying the starting condi-
tions.
The ISG system is always active,
when the engine is running.
Information
When the engine is automatically
started by the ISG system, some warn-
ing lights (i.e. ABS, ESC, ESC OFF,
EPS, and parking brake warning
light) may illuminate for a few sec-
onds due to the low battery voltage.
However, it does not indicate a mal-
function with the ISG system.

• Outside temperature is not too low
or too high
• The vehicle is driven over a con-
stant speed and stops
• The climate control system satis-
fies the conditions
• The vehicle is sufficiently warmed
up

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
an indicator on the outer side view
mirrors.
(1) Blind-Spot Collision Warning
: Blind spot area
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) range varies relative to
vehicle speed. Note that if your
vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.(2) Blind-Spot Collision Warning
: 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. Distance
from approaching vehicle can be
seen differently according to the
relative speed.(3) 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
oncoming 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.
