Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)†6
BCA uses rear corner radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor and warn the driver in certain situations if it detects an approaching vehicle in the driver ’s blind spot area and before changing lanes . Initially, BCA provides
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the outside rearview mirrors . If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) automatically applies the opposite side front brake to try and mitigate a potential collision .
•
1st-stage: When another vehicle is detected within BCW warning boundary A, an indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors B .
•
2nd-stage: When 1st stage warning is on and the driver activates a turn
signal, a flashing indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and the system will sound a warning .
• 3 r d - s t a g e : When 1st stage warning is on and the 2nd stage warning has already occurred, and the collision risk has increased, braking is applied to the opposite side front wheel and a visual warning occurs .
