Collision Warning
• Collision warning will operate when 
the turn signal is turned on in the 
direction of the detected vehicle.
• If ‘Warning Only’ is selected from the 
Settings menu, the collision warning 
will operate when your vehicle 
approaches the lane the blind spot 
vehicle is detected.
• To warn the driver of a collision, the 
warning light on the side view mirror 
and head-up display (if equipped) will 
blink. At the same time, an audible 
warning will sound and the steering 
wheel will vibrate. 
• When the turn signal is turned off or 
you move away from the lane, the 
collision warning will be canceled 
and the system will return to vehicle 
detection state.
 WARNING
• The detecting range of the rear 
corner radar is determined by a 
standard road width, therefore, on a 
narrow road, the system may detect 
other vehicles in the next next lane 
and warn you. In contrast, on a wide 
road, the system may not be able to 
detect a vehicle driving in the next 
lane and may not warn you.
• When the hazard warning flasher is 
on, the collision warning by the turn 
signal will not operate.

will appear on the cluster. At the 
same time, an audible warning will 
sound, warning light on the head-up 
display (if equipped) will blink and the 
steering wheel will vibrate. 
• The system will operate when your 
vehicle speed is between 40~120 
mph (60~200 km/h) and both lane 
markings of the driving lane are 
detected. 
• Emergency braking will be assisted to 
help prevent collision with the vehicle 
in the blind spot area.
