Warning and system control
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
If a vehicle is detected within the boundary of the system, a warning light will illuminate on the outside rear view mirror.
Once the detected vehicle is no longer within the blind spot area, the warning will turn off according to the driving conditions of the vehicle.
[A]: Warning sound
A warning chime to alert the driver will activate when:
-
A vehicle has been detected in the blind spot area by the radar system AND.
-
The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detected).
When this alert is activated, the warning light on the outside rear view mirror will blink. And a warning chime will sound.
If you turn off the turn signal indicator, the second stage alert will be deactivated.
Once the detected vehicle is no longer within the blind spot area, the warning will turn off according to the driving conditions of the vehicle.

The warning light on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate whenever a vehicle is detected at the rear side by the system.
To avoid accidents, do not focus only on the warning light and neglect to see the surrounding of the vehicle.

The driver should always use extreme caution while operating the vehicle, whether or not the warning light on the outside rearview mirror illuminates or there is a warning alarm.

The warning of Blind-Spot Collision Warning system may not sound while other system's warning sounds are in use.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
BCA gently applies braking power on the tire that is located in the opposite side of the possibly-colliding point. The instrument cluster will inform the driver of the BCA activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist system 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 system in the ready status. When the vehicle drives too close to one side of the vehicle lanes, the system may not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not properly control your vehicle in accordance with driving situations. Thus, always pay close attention to road situations.
-
The driver is responsible for safe driving.
