WARNING
  • Driving on a curved road

    Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly on a curved road. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not detect the vehicle in the next lane.

    Always pay attention to road and driving conditions. On curved roads, check the road conditions and traffic in surrounding lanes directly.

    On curved roads, the system may incorrectly operate by detecting vehicles in the same lane. Always pay attention to road and driving conditions while driving.

  • Driving on an inclined road

    OLQ2A105026_2

    Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly when you drive on a slope. The function may not detect the vehicle in the next lane, or may incorrectly detect the ground or a structure. Always pay attention to road and driving conditions.

    The setting menu may not be available for your vehicle depending on your vehicle features and specifications.

  • Driving where the road is merging or dividing

    Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly when you drive where the road merges or divides. The function may not detect the vehicle in the next lane. Always pay attention to road and driving conditions.

  • Driving where the heights of the lanes are different

    OLQ2A105028

    Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly when you drive where the heights of the lanes are different. The function may not detect the vehicle on a road with different lane heights (such as an underpass joining section, grade separated intersection, and so on). Always pay attention to the road and driving conditions.

WARNING
  • When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle, make sure that you turn OFF Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist.

  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly in areas with strong electromagnetic interference.

  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist may not activate for approximately 3 seconds after you start the vehicle or initialize the front view camera or rear corner radars.
