WARNING

[The detecting range of the rear
corner radar is determined by a
standard road width, therefore, on
a narrow road, Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist may detect other
vehicles two lanes over and warn
you. In contrast, on a wide road,
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist 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.
Information

[If the driver's seat is on the left side, the
collision warning may occur when you
turn left. Maintain a proper distance
with the vehicles in the left lane. If the
driver's seat is on the right side, the
collision warning may occur when you
turn right. Maintain a proper distance
with the vehicles in the right lane.

[ Images or colors may appear
differently depending on the instrument
panel specifications or theme.
