Collision warning: When vehicle detection warning is on and the driver activates a turn signal, a flashing indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and BCA will sound a warning
Collision-Avoidance Assist: When collision warning has already occurred, and the collision risk has increased, braking is applied to the opposite side front wheel and a visual warning occurs When you are driving forward out of a parking space, if BCA determines that there is a collision risk with an approaching vehicle in the blind spot, BCA will help avoid a collision by applying the brake
BCA Settings:
•BCA can be turned on/off by going to the User Settings* in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the Infotainment System
