Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist operation

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may apply braking power, when an approaching vehicle is detected within a certain distance next to/behind your vehicle.

It gently applies braking power on the tire, which is located in the opposite side of the possibly-colliding point. The instrument cluster will inform the driver of the function activation.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is automatically deactivated when:

  • The vehicle drives a certain distance away.

  • The vehicle direction is changed against the possible-colliding point.

  • The steering wheel is abruptly moved.

  • The brake pedal is depressed.

  • After a certain period of time

The driver should drive the vehicle in the middle of the vehicle lanes to keep the function in the ready status.

When the vehicle drives too close to one side of the vehicle lanes, the function may not properly operate.

In addition, the function may not properly control your vehicle in accordance with driving situations. Thus, always pay close attention to road situations.

WARNING
  • The driver is responsible for accurate steering.

  • Do not unnecessarily operate the steering wheel, when Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is in operation.

  • Always pay extreme caution while driving. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate or unnecessarily operate in accordance with your driving situations.

  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function only. It is the responsibility of the driver to always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
