Blind-Spot Collision Warning alert

Blind-Spot Collision Warning is designed to alert the driver if a vehicle is detected by the radar.

First stage alert

If a vehicle is detected within the boundary of the function, a warning light will illuminate on the outer side view mirror and the Head-Up Display (if equipped).

If the detected vehicle is no longer within the blind spot area, the warning will turn off according to the driving conditions of the vehicle.

Second stage alert

A warning chime to alert the driver will activate when:

  1. A vehicle has been detected in the blind spot area by the radar AND.

  2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detected).

When this alert is activated, the warning light on the outer side view mirror and the Head-Up Display (if equipped) will also blink. And a warning chime will sound.

If you turn off the turn signal indicator, the second stage alert will be deactivated.

If the detected vehicle is no longer within the blind spot area, the warning will turn off according to the driving conditions of the vehicle.

WARNING
  • The warning light on the outer side view mirror will illuminate whenever a vehicle is detected at the rear side by the function.

    To avoid accidents, do not focus only on the warning light and neglect to see the surrounding of the vehicle.

  • Drive safely even though the vehicle is equipped with a Blind-Spot Collision Warning. Do not solely rely on the function but check your surroundings before changing lanes or backing the vehicle up.

  • The function may not alert the driver in some situations due to function limitations so always check your surroundings while driving.

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

CAUTION
  • Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent occupants from hearing Blind-Spot Collision Warning warning sounds.

  • If any other warning sound such as seat belt warning chime is already generated, Blind-Spot Collision Warning warning may not sound.
