Blind-spot Collision-avoidance Assist (BCA) : (if equipped)

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist detects approaching vehicles in the driver’s blind spot areas and warns you of a possible collision with a warning light and a warning sound. If there is a collision risk when exiting a parallel space, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may assist with steering and braking your vehicle to help avoid a collision.
