Blind-spot Collision-avoidance Assist (BCA)

When driving above a certain speed, if a vehicle is detected in the rear-side warning area and a collision risk is assessed, the system alerts the driver with a warning light and sound. Additionally, if the risk of collision increases when moving forward, the system assists with braking to help avoid a collision.

The system also detects vehicles in the blind spot and provides a warning.

Blind-Spot Collision-avoidance Assist can help detect and inform you of a vehicle that is in your blind spot or approaching at a high speed from your blind spot area.

When you are pulling out of a parking space, if Blind-Spot Collision-avoidance Assist determines that there is a collision risk with an approaching vehicle in your blind spot, it can help you avoid a collision by applying the brakes.

WARNING

  • The detecting range may vary depending on the speed of your vehicle. Even if there is a vehicle in the blind spot area, Blind-Spot Collision-avoidance Assist may not warn you when you pass other vehicles by at high speeds.

  • The timing of the warning may vary if a vehicle is approaching at a high speed.
